Low Range

Low Range

The low range is a reduction gear range in off-road vehicles such as the Touareg.
It makes driving easier on difficult terrain and on very steep gradients. Together with 4XMOTION four-wheel drive, this function enables the vehicle to make good progress over rugged ground.
In the Touareg, the reduction gear ratio of 2.66:1 for heavy-duty off-road driving can be electronically activated by means of the suspension switch. This provides maximum drive force at low vehicle speeds. It enables the Touareg to achieve a gradability of up to 100 percent (45°).
