Volkswagen TAREK - anterior or all-wheel drive SUV compact segment, which in the German company itself is called the "most popular crossover", combining a discreet design, ergonomic and functional salon, modern technique and relatively affordable cost ... It is addressed, first of all, the city residents (often - family), which in the car specially appreciated practicality, safety, reliability, level of comfort and good permeability ...
In general, formally the official debut of this PARKTNIK took place in March 2018 at the international auto show in Beijing, but then only in a conceptual appearance called Powerful Family SUV, and in two months before the world public, his serial version appeared - Volkswagen Tharu. Actually, this most crossover, which stood at the stage below Tiguan, and should get to the Russian market, but in a bit shortened form and under the name TAREK.
Externally, "Tareek" causes associations with full-sized "Temogram" - the five-door looks attractive, balanced, concisely and in moderation solid. FAQUE The car exhibits the appearance of a truly monumental outlines - a strict "two-story" lighting, a large grill of the radiator with a cellular ornamenta and a relief bumper.
In the profile, the crossover demonstrates a proportional and fairly dynamic appearance, emphasized by a slope of the roof line with beveled back racks, expressive "splashes" on the sidewalls and rounded-square arches of the wheels.
From the stern "German" can boast by massive LED lanterns, an impressive luggage door and a neat bumper with a pair of boutic exhaust pipes.
It is expected that on the outer dimensions of Volkswagen Tarek will be close to Skoda Karoq (despite the fact that the "Chinese" toruu is slightly larger): its length will be ≈4380 mm, the width is ≈1840 mm, the height is ≈1600 mm, the distance between the wheeled pairs is ≈2640 mm (More accurate data will be known later).
The interior of the "Tarek" was performed in the "family" style of the German automaker - it clings to a pretty and modern, but concise and restrained decoration. Right in front of the driver are a three-satellite multi-steering wheel with a slightly bevelled at the bottom of the rim and an exemplary combination of appliances with analog scales and a boardcomputer scoreboard between them (as an option, it can be replaced with a virtual "shield" with a 10.2-inch screen).
The central console decorates the color display of the information and entertainment center, under which symmetrical ventilation deflectors and the extremely clear "remote" of the climate installation.
Volkswagen Tarek's salon has a five-seater layout, while the sufficient stock of the space is promised on both rows of seats. In front of the car, the car has ergonomic chairs with a well-pronounced profile and wide range of adjustments, and in the back - a three-bed sofa with a non-shifted pillow.
It is assumed that the trunk "Tareka" will be approximately identical to that of Tharu - its volume in a normal state will be about 455 liters. Folded by two unequal sections of the "Gallery" will allow you to bring the capacity of the "trumpea" more than 1500 liters.
What motors will be equipped with Volkswagen Tarak on the Russian market - so far it is unknown, but most likely, he is separated exclusively four-cylinder gasoline engines with row layout, namely:
- The first option is 1.6-liter "atmospheric" MPI with distributed injection, 16-valve THM type DOHC and varying phases of gas distribution, developing 110 horse power At 5800 rev / minute and 155 nm of torque at 3800-4000 rpm.
- On the step above there is a "turbocarity" TSI with a working volume of 1.4 liters with direct "power supply", 16 valves and phase students on the inlet and release, which is 149 hp. At 5000-6000 rpm and 250 Nm peak thrust at 1500-3500 rev / minute.
- Top Modifications Privilege - 2.0-liter TSI engine with turbocharging, direct injection, 16-valve timing and changing system of gas distribution phases, producing 186 hp At 4200-6000 rpm and 320 Nm of rotating potential at 1500-4100 rev / minute.
The aggregates will be expected to receive the following gearboxes: the "younger" one will get 5-speed "mechanics" or a 6-range "automatic", the "intermediate" - 7-speed "robot" DSG with two dry clutches, and "senior" - 7 - Skilly "robot" DSG with wet clutches.
The first two motors will be combined with the front-wheel drive transmission, and the most powerful option - with the system full drivein which the rear axle is connected by the Haldex multi-disc coupling.
The Volkswagen Tarek is based on a modular "cart" MQB with a transversely oriented power plant and a bearing body, a wide number of high-strength steel grades in the design. On the front axle of the car, an independent suspension of the McPherson type was used, but the structure of the rear part is most likely to depend on the modification: at the front-wheel drive - a semi-dependent beam, and the all-wheel drive is an independent multi-dimension.
The rugged steering mechanism of the crossover is supplemented with an active electric control amplifier, and on all its wheels, disk brakes are involved (in front - with ventilation), working together with various electronic assistants.
In the Russian market, Volkswagen Tarak should appear in 2020, and its production will be put on the capacity of the Gorky Automobile Plan. It will become the most affordable crossover brand, that is, it will cost a cheaper "Tiguana", for which they are now asked from 1.4 million rubles.
The configuration and prices will voice closer to the beginning of sales, but it is expected that already in the "base" the car will receive: front airbags, air conditioning, ABS, four electric windows, a regular audio system, electric and heating of exterior mirrors, steel wheels of wheels and some other equipment.
Figure Adolf Hitler: So he saw a "folk car" 
The first civilian "beetles" did not have a rearview window 
But there were "beetles" and military purposes - intelligence "Kyubelvagen 82" 
At the end of the war, Ferdinand Porsche for the fulfillment of the personal order of the Fuhrera - the creation of a "folk car" - spent two years in conclusion, working as a simple designer at Renault factories (France)
History of the Volkswagen brand
The summer day of 1934 in one of the halls of the Kaizierhov hotel in Berlin, a business meeting took place, which began the beginning of the story of the beloved by many cars. The interlocutors were two, and one of them was just that came to power in Germany - Adolf Hitler - he was a rusty and a few. He put forward a demand: to create a strong and reliable car for the German people, which would have gone on a new, personifying new Germany, the factory, and its selling price would not exceed 1000 Reichsmark.
On a paper sheet, he threw a simple drawing, identified the main items of the program and asked to choose the designer who would be responsible for the execution of a government order.
The second interlocutor was Jacob Berlin, the commercial director of Daimler-Benz - he carefully listened to Adolf Hitler and after a few days he proposed the candidacy of the artist. In his opinion, this order could fulfill only one person - Ferdinand Porsche.
Then, in accordance with the dominant ideology and terminology, the word "folk" did not mean for the Nazis economical, simple, accessible to all. The concept of "folks" carried a completely different semantic load. It indicated the "German people, a clean German race" and, thus, once again emphasized the all the arms and the arrogance of the rulers of the Third Reich.
As a result, VW Kafer appeared on the world, the predecessor of the world famous "beetle" appeared. "Beetle" (The Beetle) was contemptuously called Americans. A factory in the city of Wolfsburg was built for the production of this car, and in 1938 the company "Volkswagenwerk GmbH" was created.
After the end of World War II, the Volkswagen plant got into the English occupying zone. At first, the British did not realize that they were in their hands. We will give an assessment of the design of Ferdinand Porsche, made by the head of the English commission by Lord Ruts in 1946: "... This machine does not meet the main technical parameters filed to passenger cars. As for her external view and operational characteristics, they are completely unacceptable for an ordinary English consumer. Run a similar car in mass production It seems economically inappropriate ... ".
After the restoration of the destroyed part of the factory in 1948, the production of "Zhukov" has greatly increased. Ere the demand for a loved model.
Then the British turned to Americans, hoping to interest them with "Volkswagen". A group of specialists led by Henry Ford-second and Chairman of the Board "Ford Motor Company" by Ernest Brechae arrived in Germany. But the deal did not take place. After inspection, Brian stated Henry Ford: "What is offered to us, not worth a penny!". Henry Ford-second, the grandson of a person who for Ferdinand Porsche personiced the Deity, easily agreed with such a conclusion. So "Ford Motor" missed the opportunity to purchase "Volkswagen". Everyone turned away from "Volkswagen" exactly when there was a decisive turn in his fate. For cars "Volkswagen" has already been lined up, therefore, the prospect did not look at an unobenty.
Quickly followed monetary reform, help but "Marshall Plan" and other measures to consolidate the Western Alongles of the Anti-Hitler Coalition at the territories employed. In October 1948, the Federal Republic of Germany was formed. Soon the whole world had to speak about the "West German economic miracle." The company "Volkswagen" was again in the forefront, it built 65% of all you are bombed in the country. In the future, as the production of "Opell", Ford, Mercedes and other firms expands the production of "Folkswagen". Despite this, Volkswagen not only retained most of his clientele, but also turned into the largest German industrial concern, whose annual receipts were 1.4 billion dollars by the end of the 50s.
In the seventies, the urgent need to create a successor "Beetle" appeared. When developing a new series of models, VW has changed dramatically. In 1973, a Passat model appeared with an end wheel drive, and a year later the GOLF model appeared. It turned out to be "falling in the top ten", since the Golf model in many respects identified a number of trends in the field of automotive industry. Every year about 2 million cars with a brand VW are coming annually from conveyors. Per last years The company expanded significantly and joined SEAT, Skoda and Rolls-Royce.
The expansion of international relations started by the supply of the first "Zhukov" in Holland continued not only by direct exports, but also the construction of factories. Very quickly, the names of the countries adjacent to each other in the production chain. In 1950 The supply of disassembled cars for assembling in Brazil and Ireland began. This was the beginning of the assembly of cars outside the country, which, after time, developed in independent production.
July 23, 1953 In San Bernarda de Campo, the company "Volkswagen de Brazil S.A.", which in short term turned into the largest foreign subsidiary of Volkswagen. Initially, in San Bernarda cars were gathered from the sets of parts made in Germany, but soon "Volkswagen" laid the first stone to the foundation of the largest in South America Plant for the production of wide range of components. In the following years, the "screwdriver" plants on Phillipins and Australia were joined by this complex, which were subsequently closed with the end of the "era of the beetle". Another plant appeared in South Africa. In 1960 Folkswagen-France was founded, in 1962. Sold a million car "Volkswagen" in the USA.
This international success was inspired by industrialists for the construction of new factories in the American continent: "Volkswagen de Mexico" was supposed to make cars using the greatest number Completing local production subject to the preservation of German quality standards and reasonable prices. Three years later, after the foundation of this society, the plant was opened in Pueblo. The next assembly plant appeared in 1971. In Brussels, two years later, an agreement was concluded for the opening of the representative office of Volkswagen in Nigeria.
In the early 80s, the expansion continued international Development "Volkswagen". In 1982 The concern was able to take the first step to open the market of the Republic of China: an agreement was signed on the intentions of the assembly of Volkswagen "Santana". The continuation of the contract was the discovery in early 1991. Joint venture in China - the first automotive plant in Chang Chun. A year later, another joint venture opened in Taiwan, from the conveyor of which the transporter minibuses today are.
In South America, Volkswagen also continued the strategy of international coverage. In 1986 Argentina has an enterprise "Avtolatatina LTD." - The result of international cooperation between the concern "Volkswagen AG" and "Ford Motor Company". The joint work was continued 5 years later - the foundation of "Auto-Europeans" in the Portuguese city of Palmela, where the minivans of both manufacturers have been produced since that time.
In addition to the actual Volkswagen, the Volkswagen AG concern owns such brands like Audi, Seat, Skoda and as a separate manufacturer - VW "Industrial and Commercial Cars" (Volkswagen Nutzfahrzeuge).
A rather long consider the history of the people's car - the Volkswagen concern. In 1934, a famous German engineer comes to an order for the production of the first folk car. And in 1935, the engineer put his brainchild at the trial trip the first Volkswagen. Already in 1936, the German government announced its decision to build a car factory in the city of Wolfsburg, which after a while would acquire world fame, and in the same 1936 will release the first three cars that will be tested by a run by 50,000 km.
Over the next years, several generations of the first car will be released, and in 1938 the concern will receive its name Volkswagenwerk GmbH.
The production of the first prototypes of the German folk car produced extraordinary admiration. The first copies of the car admired absolutely all - newspapers, engineers, designers and, of course, drivers. Next appear more and more new models. There is a debut of the first sports 1200, which subsequently becomes a sedan and a convertible.
In 1972, the concern becomes the best automotive company, since Volkswagen "Beetle" is called the most purchased machine. In 1974, such famous models are published as Passat and Golf.
In the early 80s, an increasing expansion of the model range occurs and the Jetta sedan is available, as well as the new generation of Passat and Scirocco.
In 1990, the concern announced the release of a whole line of auto new third generation.
To date, the concern is the most successful automotive concern in the world. No one argues about the quality and reliability of Volkswagen cars. Now the concern has already more than 5 brands of cars, and is the most sold in the world. On the this moment The best models of the concern are:
Volkswagen Golf-front-wheel drive Hatchback class "C". The car received an update in the seventh generation, and was presented in mid-2012 in Berlin. As and usually the car received the most positive reviews And again became one of the most popular. The cabin hatchback has become even more and more spacious, which is very pleased with buyers. Of course, the basic filling of the car is not distinguished by its wealth, but even when buying a car with a basic package you will have everything you need. To date, the model has undergone great changes in the technical characteristics. The engine power increased, the auto acquired 5 functions that the driver can choose himself.
Volkswagen Passat received a fully recycled new generation, ranging from the roof and ending with the engine. What made it possible to increase the car, and expand the size of the cabin. The car turned out to be more powerful and more elegant. The design of the car speaks for himself. Radiator grille, headlights and a fairly flat hood made completely in the style of the Volkswagen concern. The interior of Volkswagen Passat, is made to improve the quality and, if possible, the approximation of Passat to the Phaeton level.
When the National Socialist Government in 1934 through the Private Economic Organization "Imperial Union of the Automotive Industry" transferred Ferdinand Porsche Test for the development of the Volkswagen prototype, the path from planning and design developments to mass production was to be theoretically four years. However, in 1935, the first Volkswagen was ready. In 1936, the two of its next prototypes held ruthless tests at a distance in more than 50,000 km. In 1937, the following series was launched, indicated by VW 30 and consisting of 30 cars, which passed tests on a total distance of 2.4 million kilometers. The test results in all respects were satisfactory and led to the fact that in 1938 the car gained its final technical equipment and external form. Thus, the design stage ended. The construction of the plant and preparation for production began.
In wartime at the factory, open cars of high passability and amphibians were produced. By the end of the war, about 66,000 all-terrants and SUVs were produced. The post-war development proceeded under the English flag - the company was under the control of the allies, and in the summer of 1945 he was taken into their own hands, in whose zone of the occupation it was located. Hoodly poor plant was restored and the first post-war specimens appeared. Soon, the Avtozavod proved his worthwest, receiving an order for the release of 20,000 cars from the English occupational side. After presenting the car on a number of exhibitions, by the end of the 40s, orders began to come from european countries. Thus, the formation of a modern automotive giant occurred. By gaining momentum, Volkswagen opened one plant after another - not only on the territory of Germany, but also in the territory of countries that are actively exporting cars of the company.
In the 70s, Volkswagen developed three new models at once - Passat, Golf and Sirocco, which in technical terms did not have anything in common with the former cars Volkswagen. The modifications of Passat and Golf are still produced - and they have become already classic automotive industry and their names are often used as a name of the nominal one.
In Russia, more than 350,000 Volkswagen are registered. In our country, Mark ranks third in popularity after Toyota and Opel.
Currently, Volkswagen Concern is one of the largest sales in the world, has its own factories in 15 countries around the world, produces products under several trademarks: Volkswagen, Audi, Skoda, Seat, Lamborghini, Bugatti. Since 1998, the concern is brand Bentley. In addition to passenger cars, the VW concern also exercises the production of trucks and minibuses.
According to the materials of [email protected].
The first Volkswagen was made on the order of Adolf Hitler, as an affordable and practical car for the German people. The result was a compact sedan beetle, which was called "Volkswagen".
Most manufacturers of non-military cars had to postpone the production during World War II. VW Beetle began to gradually return to mass production in 1940. Largely due to its compactness and technical characteristics of Volkswagen. Beetle even exceeded the Ford T model and became the most sold machine of all times and peoples. Volkswagen decided to expand its model range in 1950, adding 2 buses and sports Karmann Ghia. The following diversification occurred already in 1970-80. - Release Passat and Golf.
Today Volkswagen presents a wide and diverse model range on the market. Jetta and Passat compact sedans have always been popular with motorists, thanks to their reliability and fuel economy. Another famous model, which is still popular - VW Golf, which is located on the market for about 40 years. Touareg was introduced in 2003, which was the start of VW in the SUV market. In 2002, a full-sized luxurious Phaeton appeared, as a competitor to authoritative German luxury brands Mercedes and BMW. The Double EOS was first introduced in 2006 and received high marks, but not even enough for performance as for comfort and style. Routan released in 2009, despite the VW icon, actually came the revised version of Chrysler Minivan. New Beetle, who began his way in 1998, could not achieve the success of the original, but it inspired people to the cooking passion for retro futuristic cars, which led to the emergence on the market new version British Mini Cooper and Italian Fiat 500. The New Beetle model has been recycled in 2011, with modeling aimed at attracting a more "male" audience.
Volkswagen can rightly be proud of a variety of cars in its model range and a reputation worldwide. Although it was not possible to push the BMW and Mercedes in the market of luxury sedans, drivers around the world appreciate reliability and technical characteristics of Volkswagen..
