These Volkswagen Touareg “spy shots” actually show a scale model of the new SUV, which is being planned for a spring debut.
The new Touareg will fit the Volkswagen family nicely, with the next generation planned with a front end similar to that of the new Golf and Polo.
Under the exterior, though, the Touareg has much in common with the Porsche Cayenne.
On the engine front, we’ll see a new 3.
0-litre V6 TFSI unit with 290 hp (from Audi origin), a new 3.
0 V6 TDI Euro 6 and a new hybrid version for the environmentally conscious.
It was hoped that the Volkswagen Touareg would see a 2010 Geneva Motor Show debut, but it’s unclear if that will happen.
Another alternative, making sense for the US market, would be a presentation at the New York auto show in April.
In any case, the Touareg’s commercial launch will take place in the second half of this year.
