The Touareg comes as standard with a four-wheel drive system.
It has an automatic progressively locking centre differential (with manual override), and a "low range" setting that can be activated with in-cabin controls.
Options to make the vehicles more capable off-road include an available 4-wheel Adaptive Air Suspension (plus Continuous Damping Control) which can raise the car's ride height on command, and an interior switch allowing the rear differential to be manually locked.
A very rare but available option was also a front locking differential.
Its load level ground clearance is at 6.3 in (160 mm), Off Road Level is at 9.6 in (244 mm), and Xtra clearance of 11.8 in (300 mm).
