VW Touareg SUVs | 2019 | redesign | interior | exterior | crossover | Reviews| cargurus | usa | canada | uk | niger | top 10s.The next generation of Volkswagen’s mid-size Touareg SUV—although it might be mistaken for the new Tiguan at first glance. With similarly blocky lines and chunky proportions, these two VW SUVs will be difficult to tell apart. Of course, some of the strategic bits of camouflage on this test vehicle might be intended to confuse us. Even so, this prototype’s large size and stature indicate that it is in fact the third-generation Touareg, which will remain a two-row, luxury-oriented SUV sitting between the Tiguan and the new three-row Atlas in size, but above both in price.
Volkswagen already was late to the SUV game when it first introduced the Touareg in the early 2000s, and now it’s finally getting around to fleshing out a broader lineup of crossovers. Although the new, seven-passenger Atlas likely will be the volume leader in the United States, the Touareg gives VW a more upmarket competitor to popular SUVs such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and the Lexus RX.

Platform: The Touareg will trade its aging PL52 platform for the new MLB Evo architecture that underpins the latest Audi Q7. The VW’s wheelbase will be shorter than the 10Best-winning Audi’s, however, because the Touareg won’t need to accommodate a third row of seat

Powertrain: A V-6 engine is expected to be standard in the U.S., although we don’t know at this point whether it’ll be the aging 3.6-liter VR6 from the current Touareg or Audi’s supercharged 3.0-liter V-6 used in the Q7. All-wheel drive and an eight-speed automatic transmission will be standard. A plug-in hybrid option also is a good bet, using a turbocharged inline-four to supplement an electric drivetrain.
Estimated Arrival and Price: The Touareg will make its debut first in Europe late this year before arriving in the United States at some point in 2018 as a 2019 model. It’ll be significantly more expensive than the larger Atlas and, like the current Touareg, should carry a starting price around $50,000.
