Design

At the front, the new Touareg features a new grille, bonnet, front wings and bumper, plus new headlights and mirrors.  The rear lights, spoiler, bumper and exhaust pipes have also been modified to freshen the 4x4’s appearance.

New Features

The new Touareg will feature new and revised technology, including ABSPlus and additional ESP features: Active Rollover Protection (ARP), rain brake support, fading brake support and understeer control logic.

Four engines will be available: one petrol (3.6-litre V6 280 hp) and three diesel: 2.5-litre TDI 174 hp with DPF (diesel particulate filter); 3.0-litre V6 TDI 225 hp and the range-topping 5.0-litre V10 TDI with 313 hp and DPF.

The 2.5-litre TDI will be available as standard with a six-speed manual gearbox and optional Tiptronic automatic transmission.  All other engines will be mated to the six speed Tiptronic automatic transmission.
