In Geneva held the world debut of the new Volkswagen Touareg, which looks more promising than its predecessor. In parallel with its submission to a wide audience, spread by the German company a number of new photos of the model. Already have met extensively with the new Touareg, but I will mention again the most interesting. The car is 208 kg targets. lighter than previous generation, but is extended with the chassis strength is increased by 5%. The new Volkswagen Touareg will be offered the very beginning and hybrid modification that has V6 TSI petrol engine (333 h.p.) and electric (47 h.p.). It can run in fully electric mode at up to 50 km/h, accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h. for 6.5 sec and spends an average of 7.4l/100km. The SUV is looking good, with improved engine, good design and strong stability.

Since Volkswagen is planning to present a whole new generation Touareg model at the exhibition in Geneva in March or so in New York in April, but now the Dutch Autoweek edition published low-resolution images of the car, which is in the form of toy. The new Touareg shares a common platform with the next generation of the Porsche Cayenne, which will also be released this year. Moreover, both cars will be offered the same engines and hybrid versions will be using the same technology. Unlike the Cayenne, however, whose sales are scheduled to start early spring, Volkswagen Touareg will appear in the dealers of the company until the second half of this year.
