About the Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245

The 2010 VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 is an all-wheel-drive turbodiesel SUV of 2,203 kg with 241 bhp, which works out at 110 bhp per tonne. All-wheel drive is worth most in the first car length: it covers 60 ft in 2.17 s, which is where a four-wheel-drive car takes its margin out of a rear-drive one with the same power. Against the 14,946 cars in the set it is the 4,936th quickest to 60 mph, and the 184th quickest of the 1124 VWs here. It leaves better than it pulls: 87.2 mph at the lights is only the 6,258th highest here, so its 0-60 flatters what it does further out. The simulation is trimmed to 2 of 2 published acceleration figures for this car.

Questions

What is the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 0-60 time?
The VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 reaches 60 mph in 7.15 s, simulated on dry asphalt at 20 °C with a 1 ft rollout. That makes it the 4,936th quickest of the 14,946 cars in the set.
What is the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 quarter mile time?
15.51 s at 87.2 mph. It reaches the eighth mile in 9.83 s and clears the first 60 ft in 2.17 s. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
How much power does the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 have?
241 bhp and 2,203 kg, which is 110 bhp per tonne. It is all-wheel-drive, turbodiesel, with 8 gears and a quoted top speed of 217 km/h. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
What cars are comparable to the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245?
Closest here on pace: BMW X1 20d xDrive 184 Auto (7.15 s), Mercedes-Benz GLK 250 BlueTEC 4MATIC 204 (7.14 s), BMW X3 xDrive20d (G01) (7.15 s). Each one can be raced against the VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 in the panel at the top of this page. These are theoretical times from a physics simulation, not measured runs.
Are these real measured times?
No. Every figure on this page is produced by a physics simulation, not by a stopwatch at a drag strip. The VW Touareg 3.0 V6 TDI Technology Terrain Tech 245 is modelled from its published kerb mass, rated power, drivetrain and gearing, then trimmed until it reproduces 2 of its 2 published acceleration figures. Conditions are the same for every car in the set: dry asphalt, 20 °C, sea level, 1 ft rollout.

Figures regenerated 2026-10-12. Every number on this page is computed by the simulator at build time, so the page and the app can never disagree.
