Rugby league star Nigel Vagana is Australia’s newest Volkswagen Touareg owner.
The arrival of his first baby a few weeks ago convinced Nigel that his family
needed a new car and Volkswagen’s multi-award-winning four-wheel-drive (4WD)
wagon best-suited his needs.
“When we hit the road as a family, it’s amazing how much extra you need for a
baby,” Nigel revealed. “The Touareg is a beautiful car and it’s easy to see why
Volkswagen has won so many ‘4WD of the year Awards’.”
And as a qualified architect, Nigel has a keen eye for design.
“I really like the lines of the Touareg,” he explained. “The arrow-shape of
the bonnet smoothly blends into the side panels and doors – it certainly looks
like a serious 4WD, but I think I will wait until after the footy season before
I go four-wheel-driving.”
Priced from $67,600, the Volkswagen Touareg is powered by a choice of
3.2-litre 24-valve V6 and 4.2-litre 40-valve V8 petrol engines or the staggering
V10TDI twin-turbocharged diesel powerplant which, with 230kW and 750Nm, is the
world’s most powerful passenger car diesel engine.
The Touareg combines the features of a high quality off-road vehicle with the
comfort of a luxury sedan and the dynamic of a sports car to genuinely deliver a
new vehicle philosophy.
Inside, decorative wood inlays in myrtle or walnut, two grades of leather
upholstery plus an abundance of luxury and safety features add to the
unquestioned refinement of Volkswagen’s benchmark luxury 4WD.
And whether you’re driving on a sealed highway or bush track, Volkswagen’s
continuous 4XMOTION all-wheel-drive system guarantees dynamic driving enjoyment
and a high degree of safety.
Best of all for the Vagana family, storage compartments abound and with a
60/40 split rear seat, luggage compartment capacity ranges from 555 to 1570
litres.
