Does the 2015 Volkswagen Touareg have auto start-stop?
On some configurations. Yes on the 3.0L 6-cylinder supercharged hybrid. No on the 3.0L 6-cylinder turbo diesel and 3.6L 6-cylinder.
Key takeaways
- Start-stop cars restart the engine many times per drive, so they are usually fitted with an AGM or EFB battery - replace like with like.
- Most systems have an off button that disables start-stop until the engine is next started; some models remember the setting.
