Published the first photos of the new SUV Volkswagen Touareg

The Volkswagen Touareg has been spotted without camouflage.

2017 Volkswagen Touareg has been spotted during testing in Germany in five months to launch the car in production, scheduled for November this year.

The test mule without camouflage, some details are hidden an easy disguise. But that does not stop to notice that the next-generation SUV received a design inspired by the smaller brother Tiguan and a large Atlas.

The style of the new SUV is very similar to the concept of T-Prime GTE, shown at the Beijing motor show last year. The headlights of the new car became sharper and more angular than before, and joined seamlessly into the radiator grille. Aggressive front bumper with large air vents gives the Touareg a more impressive appearance from the front, while the smooth rear panel receives the lights, almost “taken” with the concept.

The interior of the next Touareg will also be more premium than before, with higher quality materials and a larger screen infotainment system mounted in the center of the dashboard is angled towards the driver. This 15-inch display, the same as in many laptops, the engineers of Volkswagen used to increase space on the desktop to provide levels of configuration, previously unseen in the car interface. All aim to stay strong in the struggle with the upcoming 2BMW X5 and Volvo XC90.

Under the hood expect a plug-in hybrid powertrain, probably similar to the one shown in the concept of T-Prime GTE. It develops 381 HP of power and 700 Nm of torque, it can drive in pure electric mode of 80 km, and in the economy mode to consume 3 liters of fuel per 100 km.

Will also be a turbocharged four-cylinder diesel and petrol engines, which will constitute the bulk of the line of power aggregates is possible and the six-cylinder unit, which we mentioned yesterday. As the current model, the new SUV will be equipped with all-wheel drive as standard.

Officially opening date was not named, but I guess it will take place this fall, and the first customers will receive the car in early 2018.
