VW Touareg with Coilover Suspension

The VW Touareg is a luxury SUV that has been on the market since 2002, offering an impressive combination of comfort, performance, and off-road capability. Now in its third generation (since 2018), the Touareg features cutting-edge technology, a premium interior, and powerful engine options. With its standard all-wheel drive and optional air suspension, the Touareg delivers excellent driving dynamics, whether on the road or light off-road terrain. By equipping your Touareg with a high-quality coilover suspension, you can customize the vehicle height and take its driving dynamics to the next level. While a sports suspension provides a fixed lowering, an adjustable coilover suspension allows for stepless height adjustment, enabling you to finely tune the SUV’s center of gravity. This results in more precise steering response, improved road grip, and a sportier appearance. Additionally, a lower ride height reduces air resistance, which can positively impact overall performance.

VW Touareg (CR) with KW Coilover Suspension V3

The VW Touareg (CR), the third generation of this popular premium SUV, has been impressing drivers since 2018 with its state-of-the-art technology, powerful engines, and luxurious comfort. Built on the MLB Evo platform, which is also used in the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, and Bentley Bentayga, the Touareg provides an excellent foundation for performance-oriented suspension upgrades. While VW’s factory setup prioritizes comfort, the KW Coilover Suspension V3 offers a significantly sportier driving experience with enhanced handling. The KW V3 is a high-performance, height-adjustable coilover suspension that enables a stepless lowering of 30-60 mm on both the front and rear axles. This lowers the vehicle’s center of gravity, leading to more direct steering response, reduced body roll, and improved overall stability. The benefits become especially noticeable on high-speed highway drives and winding country roads. A key feature of the KW V3 is its separate adjustment of rebound and compression damping, allowing for precise customization of the suspension setup. The rebound damping controls how the suspension compresses, which affects handling and ride stability, while the compression damping regulates how the suspension rebounds, ensuring an optimal balance between sporty performance and everyday usability. Technology Behind the KW Coilover Suspension V3 The KW V3 is based on motorsport technology, incorporating racing expertise to deliver exceptional driving dynamics on the road. Thanks to KW’s multi-valve damper technology with dual-stage valves for rebound and compression damping, the suspension remains stable and predictable even during rapid load changes. Another major advantage of the V3 is its stainless steel Inox-Line strut construction, which provides maximum corrosion resistance. Even in harsh weather conditions, the coilover adjustment mechanism remains fully functional, ensuring long-lasting durability. Additionally, KW uses high-quality seals and damper fluids, guaranteeing consistent damping performance for years to come. Perfectly Tuned for High-Performance Engines The KW V3 is particularly well-suited for high-performance Touareg models, such as the Touareg R with 462 hp plug-in hybrid powertrain or the V8 TDI with 421 hp. With its enhanced road grip and sharper steering precision, the suspension allows these powerful SUVs to maximize their performance, putting their high engine output to the road more effectively while maintaining stability and control.
