  • Volkswagen team put 2019 Touareg to the ultimate challenge!

    2019 Volkswagen Touareg This is not a thing that you would see every day. A vehicle that has travelled tens of thousands miles in order to attend to its own world premiere? Piece of cake. Or, at least it is, for Volkswagen team. What has happened is that the latest Touareg was put to an ordeal – it has travelled from Bratislava to Beijing and as it seems has done it in such a way that astonished even sceptics. So, let’s find out more, shall we?

    For a total of three weeks the vehicle, along with the team has risen up to the challenge “Bratislava2Beijing” and has travelled through eleven countries – the starting point was the Volkswagen plant in Bratislava, where the Touareg machines have been manufactured for 16 years and has finished in Beijing by travelling through Slovakia, Austria, the Czech Republic, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China.
