Volkswagen Touareg SUV: The Long-Term Test Verdict

Engine and Performance

The engine range for new Vlkswagen Touareg 2017 will, among other units, also include a diesel with 300 hp, V6 gasoline that makes 330 hp, as well as a plug-in hybrid variant. The latter is probably going to be a combination already seen in the Audi Q7 e-tron, which includes a 3.0-litre TDI diesel engine, an electric motor and lithium-ion batteries with a total power output rated at 373 hp.

This version of Volkswagen Touareg should also provide the only electric drive with a range of 56 km (35 miles). On the American market expect four-cylinder power plant to be the standard. There are also rumours about the ten-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission; we sure hope to see it.

Price and Release Date

New Volkswagen Touareg is most probably going to be launched in the second half of 2017, while it is too early to talk about the pricing range.
