New look VW Touareg

Volkswagen is unveiling a new-look Touareg at the Paris Motor Show. The full-size 4×4 SUV has a new look front and rear, but shares the same platform and mechanicals as the original, launched in 2003.

Due to go on sale in January 2007, the Touareg will benefit from a new ABS system, ABSPlus, developed by Volkswagen and improving braking performance on loose surfaces by up to 20 per cent. The Electronic Stability Programme has also been upgraded to provide Active Roll-over Protection.

The current Touareg, S and Altitude trims will be retained, with a choice of one petrol and three diesel engines. These are the 280hp 3.6-litre V6 petrol, 174hp 2.5-litre TDI with diesel particulate filter, 225hp 3.0-litre V6 TDI (with or without DPF) and the 313hp 5.0-litre V10 TDI.
