The previous version of the Touareg also earned top five-star results from the federal government, but the 2011 model hasn't yet been tested. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has however tested the 2011 and rated it 'good' in all categories—and named it a Top Safety Pick.
There are nine airbags onboard the new Touareg, with options including an Area View monitor with four cameras; Lane Assist and Side Assist; adaptive cruise control; and bi-xenon headlamps with Dynamic Light Assist.
Conclusion
The 2011 Volkswagen Touareg has lost a lot of weight this year, but that hasn't affected this SUV's excellent safety ratings.
