In a nutshell
The name Tuareg (or Touareg) means ”free
people”. Thus, the Volkswagen Touareg has the
name of a traditional African desert tribe that
has made a name for itself in Africa due to its
trade in precious goods. The proud Tuareg, with
their camel caravans and the mysterious
appearance of their face veils, stand for the
dream of limitless freedom under the mercilessly
tough conditions of the desert.
The name Touareg
The name was selected to characterise the
Touareg as an exclusive off-road vehicle that
proves itself as much in a rocky river bed as on
the motorway. With its excellent on- and offroad
characteristics and its elegant-progressive
design, the Touareg is just as suitable as an
off-road vehicle as a business, recreational and
travel vehicle.
