Sporty, classy, elegant.

Twice the drive. Twice the fun.

The Touareg Elegance eHybrid is a plug-in hybrid that combines an electric motor and a TSI petrol engine. When the battery is sufficiently charged, you start in electric mode, producing zero local carbon emissions. If you activate hybrid mode, you combine both drives for maximum system output of 280 kW (381 PS). A special highlight in this mode is the interplay between the navigation system and drive management. When you enter your destination into the navigation system and start route navigation whilst in hybrid mode, the combustion engine and electric motor work in perfect harmony with each other for the entire duration of your journey.

Confident appearance​.

The new Touareg is an SUV that meets high expectations – and proves this too with a striking and sophisticated design. The wonderfully expressive front section with prominent air intakes and the powerful rear accentuate the sporty presence of the Touareg. Its balanced proportions emphasise its elegance – as well as its size, which makes it a comfortable companion on the road.

Take a seat and enjoy.

As soon as you sit inside the Touareg, it’s plain to see: the stylish interior design says it all. An elegant double seam runs from the dashboard across to the door sill. Optionally, the white ambient lighting ensures a pleasant atmosphere. The background lighting is available optionally starting with the Elegance equipment line with 30 different colours. The high-quality, harmoniously coordinated materials ensure a feel-good atmosphere straight away.

With the driver in mind. Absolutely no switches.

Car-Net

Be better informed than ever before with Car‑Net. Have the news you’re interested in read out to you while driving. Reach your destination relaxed following a route adapted to the current traffic situation. And save time when searching for a parking space, by being guided directly to a free spot in a car park at your destination.

Thanks to Car‑Net, you can check the current mileage, fuel tank volume and lock or unlock your new Touareg using your smartphone, even when you’re not in the car. And you can see whether you’ve left the light on or whether all windows are closed – perfect for peace of mind while you’re away from your car.

Light just where you need it.

The HD matrix headlight not only provides better visibility at night but also supports you when driving. More than 19,000 individually controllable LEDs are used for each headlight.

This enables your Volkswagen to project markings onto the road, for example, when the high beam is switched on. These make it easier for you to drive through narrow construction sites on the motorway or to stay in lane. In addition, the HD matrix headlight improves the function of Dynamic Light Assist. This means that other road users and traffic signs can be masked out even more precisely from your own high beam. When you start or park your vehicle, the HD matrix headlight has a special light animation ready for you.
