Volkswagen had unveiled the second-generation of the Touareg at 2010 New York International Auto Show. With the Touareg being a CBU, even India will get the 2011 Touareg once it's launched in the European market.

Design/Styling

The 2011 Touareg gets the new Volkswagen face and styling created by Walter de'Silva, VW's chief of design. The front grille is now narrow if compared to the outgoing model and the trapezoidal headlamps even get LED surrounds. The silhouette of the Touareg remains almost similar, with not-so-arched wheel flares; it gets a crown hood with a step at its sides giving it a more muscular look. The SUV gets chrome garnish with chrome surrounds around the greenhouse and a strip running on the rocker. The rear of the new Touareg is more pronounced and gets LED taillamps as well.

Volkswagen's new RNS850 touch screen entertainment and navigation system features an 8-inch screen, a 60GB hard drive with 18GB of space available to upload audio, video, and more, and a DVD/CD player with MP3 playback and Satellite/FM/AM stereo.

Mechanicals

The Volkswagen Touareg will be available with the same 3.0-litre V6 TDI engine, with 4-MOTION, which is Volkswagen lingo for all-wheel drive.

Overall Evaluation

This new 2011 Volkswagen Touareg will be a great buying option considering all the bells and whistles it comes loaded with. The newer SUV has more road presence than the older one and should have better sales figures if compared to the current Touareg.
