With the launch of its restyled Touareg 2, Volkswagen pushes one of the world’s most successful premium SUVs to a new plateau.

No small feat for a vehicle that has set records – from the highest volcanic peaks in Chile to the dunes of the legendary Dakar Rally.

A completely redesigned front end demonstrates the extent of the changes on Touareg 2. The new Touareg 2 now is instantly recognizable as a member of the Volkswagen family, with its new stylized front grille — chrome on V6 FSI and matte chrome on V8 FSI and V10 TDI — with chrome eyebrows standard on all models. A redesigned front bumper, new side mirrors with improved airflow, and sleek, new organically shaped headlamp housings with polycarbonate lens covers further distinguish the Touareg 2 from its predecessor.

The changes continue to the rear of the vehicle, where a new roof edge spoiler sharpens the look, improves aerodynamics, and aids fuel efficiency. The brake light housings have an improved LED lighting visual effect and feature a sporty new dark “glazing” treatment. Below the rear bumper, but not forgotten, the exhaust system tailpipes also have been massaged for a fresh new look.

VW says the Lexus RX530, Volvo XC90 and the Acura MDX are the key competitive vehicles they hope to steal sales from. Do you think the new Touareg 2 has the goods to make a dent against the others?



VW wants a piece of the Lexus RX350 pie with the new Touareg 2. Do you think it has the goods?
