Fresh photos and premiere date: Volkswagen spoke about the renewed Touareg

The third generation Volkswagen Touareg has been in production for five years now – it’s time for a planned restyling. And it will happen: the Wolfsburgers will present a refreshed crossover in May. Meanwhile, we can admire the camouflaged novelty in the “charged” R version – the company itself published its photos, thus arousing the interest of the public.

The first thing you notice in the teaser is a different optic with a thin light strip connecting the headlights. Wolfsburgers have used a similar solution before: including on the recently updated Atlas crossover (in Russia – Teramont) for the US. As for the devices themselves, the updated Touareg will receive matrix headlights with 38,400 microdiodes – you can imagine how much it will cost to replace or repair them if something happens.

In addition, the designers “rethought” the front and rear bumpers, but their appearance will depend on the version of the model. The range of rims is also supplemented with new options. We also see R-marked blue calipers (if equipped), a LED strip on the tailgate (similar to the one that adorns the grille), and an illuminated VW decal at the rear.

As for the power units, everything remains the same. The engine range includes traditional three-litre petrol and diesel V6s as well as hybrid engines with a total output of 381 and 456 hp. Of. The gearbox is an eight-speed automatic, the drive is four-wheel drive. Company representatives will reveal other technical details at a later date.

Recall that Volkswagen has suspended the delivery of cars from abroad to Russia (and indeed is one step away from saying goodbye to our market), and therefore the “officially” refreshed Touareg will not come to us in the foreseeable future. But it is very likely that it will be “brought” by parallel imports, which are actively gaining momentum in the country.
