JE Design VW Touareg Review

December 2004
Filed under: JEDESIGN Car News | JEDESIGN Headlines
VW tuning specialist JE DESIGN from Leingarten/Germany presents a complete styling suite for the VW Touareg type 7 L.

The Touareg R 5 has been given a performance boost, which increases the basic power of the 2.5 l TDI engine from 128 kW / 174 bhp to 152 kW / 206 bhp. Following this performance enhancement, the maximum torque goes up to 460 Nm. JE DESIGN also supplies a performance enhancement package for the Touareg V 10 5.0 TDI, which gives the brawny VW 259 kW / 352 bhp, equating to an increase of 29 kW / 39 bhp. Following this enhancement, the maximum torque is increased from 750 Nm to 855 Nm.

The styling suite includes a complete bumper for the front end, a set of side sills with an air inlet, which makes the car look lower, a roof edge spoiler, a rear apron attachment and a hatch attachment. The bumper and the rear apron attachment are also available for models with Parc Distance Control. The self-adhesive roof fin “Shark Attack” rounds off the overall image of the JE DESIGN Touareg.

Striking to the eye are also the stainless steel twin tailpipes, each with two 84 mm tailpipes on the left and right, which help to create that chunky look. To lower the suspension in vehicles with air suspension, JE DESIGN offers an electronic suspension lowering module, which allows the vehicle to be lowered by approx. 35 mm. For vehicles with conventional suspension, JE DESIGN also supplies a height-adjustable Variant 3 KW coilover suspension from stainless steel with adjustable rebound and pressure damping, which allows the suspension to be lowered by approx. 30 to 75 mm. Alternatively, a set of springs for the original shock absorbers for lowering the suspension by approx. 30 mm.

By way of tyres, JE DESIGN offers the AZEV wheel rim R in the size 10 x 22" ET 50 for or as a complete set of wheels equipped with 295/30 R 22 tyres.
