Volkswagen Touareg
While the Touareg lineup has been simplified this year and pared down to the Sportline, Wolfsburg and Execline, it features more standard equipment that includes keyless entry, new colours and new rims. Without a diesel engine, the Touareg is left with the 280-horsepower, 3.6L V6 gas engine paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox and all-wheel drive. At Volkswagen, Wolfsburg versions foreshadow the imminent arrival of a new generation, which is expected in the next year or two in this case.
