In this thrilling review by The Fast Lane Car, the team takes the updated Volkswagen Tows for a spin, pushing its all-wheel drive system to the limit in a series of rigorous slip tests. From front wheel to diagonal and even three-wheel challenges, the Tows faces off against various terrains, showcasing its capabilities in snow, mud, and off-road conditions. However, a surprising twist reveals that the real obstacle isn't the Tows' technology but rather its tires lacking the necessary grip to conquer the toughest scenarios.
Under the hood, the Tows boasts a new 1.5L turbocharged engine packing a punch with 174 horsepower, paired with a refined 8-speed automatic transmission for smoother performance. On the exterior, striking features like silver roof rails and 18-inch alloy wheels add a touch of adventure to the Tows' design, while optional black skull caps provide a rugged aesthetic. Inside, the Tows impresses with a blend of leatherette and cloth seats, an intuitive 8-inch touchscreen display, and convenient temperature controls, including heated seats and a wireless charging pad.
Venturing off-road, the Tows proves its mettle on a challenging trenches course, showcasing its off-road drive mode and hill descent control with finesse. Despite its modest ground clearance, the Tows maneuvers through rough terrain admirably, highlighting significant improvements in slow-speed power delivery compared to its predecessor. From gravel roads to pavement, the Tows shines with responsive handling, achieving a commendable fuel economy of 28 mpg. Packed with safety features like IQ Drive and priced competitively at $31,425, the Volkswagen Tows emerges as a well-rounded option for enthusiasts seeking a blend of performance, comfort, and versatility.
