Efficiency and Performance
Volkswagen’s range of plug-in hybrid vehicles offers the best of both – all the benefits of an electric vehicle with the safety blanket of a petrol tank when you really need it.
Even better, enjoy all the Volkswagen features and driving characteristics you may be familiar with already, just with a little extra spark. Volkswagen’s Plug-in Hybrid models rely on the clever interplay of an electric motor and a conventional petrol engine to deliver a world of mobility options while minimising carbon emissions and fuel consumption while driving.
A large proportion of the trips we take cover a short distance only, making electrification an entirely desirable way to drive day-to-day. At the same time, the petrol engines help extend vehicle range and can be relied on for overtaking, or for those longer trips out of town. Brake energy recuperation extends electric range between charges. Explore our range of efficient plug-in hybrid models and discover what we’re doing to bring about a future defined by electrification.
Touareg R eHybrid
Redefining performance
Embrace the best of both words with the Touareg R eHybrid. Seamlessly combining electric and petrol power, it delivers a thrilling driving experience, with 340kW of power and 700Nm of dynamic performance.
"E-Mode" and "Hybrid"
The Touareg R eHybrid has two distinct driving modes, E-MODE and Hybrid mode. These driving modes work in conjunction with the six driving profile selection modes and can be selected from the 4MOTION Active Control menu in the updated Innovision Cockpit.
When the battery is sufficiently charged, the Touareg R always starts in all-electric E-MODE. If a high power demand is detected, the V6 TSI motor automatically kicks in. Hybrid mode seamlessly switches between both the combustion engine and electric motor depending on the driving situation for optimal use of the high voltage battery.
Maximum dynamics – R-style
Experience unmatched power and performance with the Touareg R eHybrid. Combining a turbocharged 3.0L V6 petrol engine with an electric motor, this powerhouse delivers an extraordinary 340kW of power and 700Nm of torque. The combination makes the Touareg R the most powerful series production Volkswagen of all time. Thanks to the boosting by full electric power from the electric motor, the Touareg R accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 5.1 seconds.2
