VW Touareg
Volkswagen staged a Late Night Talk Show to present the new generation of the Touareg.
Volkswagen has made the new Touareg not only lighter but also more economical and more agile.
In Europe it is the only German-made SUV available as a hybrid version.
Volkswagen SUV is 208 kilograms lighter and 20 percent more fuel efficient
It sets standards among fully off-road capable SUVs with petrol engines that have a fuel consumption value of just 8.2 litres fuel per 100 kilometres.
The Touareg Hybrid can be driven up to 50 km/h in purely electric mode – emissions-free.
Among the diesel engines, the Touareg V6 TDI with 7.4 litre combined fuel consumption now posts the best value in the segment of genuine SUVs.
Both versions, the Touareg Hybrid and V6 TDI, are the most fuel efficient petrol and diesel SUVs ever built in Europe in this large vehicle class.
