New Touareg Debut



New Touareg Debut

Volkswagen has revealed the first photographs of its new Touareg model ahead of its world public debut at the Paris Motor Show next week. With revised styling, updated interior and new sound system as an option, the new Touareg goes on sale in the UK at the beginning of next year.
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.
The new model will feature new and revised technology, including ABSPlus and additional ESP (Electronic Stabilisation Programme) features. The ABSPlus system - developed and patented by Volkswagen - shortens the braking distance by up to 20% on loose driving surfaces. New features have been added to the ESP, these include Active Rollover Protection (ARP), rain brake support, fading brake support and understeer control logic, which improves the turning behaviour in the event of understeer.
The UK line-up will remain as before with three trim levels - Touareg, SE and Altitude. Four engines will be available: one petrol and three diesel. These are a 3.6-litre V6 276bhp petrol; 2.5-litre TDI 171bhp with DPF (diesel particulate filter); 3.0-litre V6 TDI 221bhp with or without DPF; and the range-topping 5.0-litre V10 TDI with 308bhp 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.
