The new VW Touareg

Tenerife - 14.07.2010 - The all-new Touareg is up to 200kg lighter and up to 20 per cent more fuel efficient than the previous model. It’s sharper, cleaner, and yet, in Hybrid form, able to out-accelerate many hot hatches while returning 34mpg on a combined cycle. The new vehicle maintains all the same virtues of space, comfort, refinement and off-road and towing ability which have created a loyal following of the original Touareg since its launch in 2003.
Clean new aerodynamic styling inspired by the Golf Mk VI, the new Polo and the New Compact Coupé concept lends the new Touareg greater presence and a lower drag coefficient without sacrificing the functional requirements of short front and rear overhangs for off-road trips.
