New Volkswagen Touareg Begins to Take Shape in Latest Spy Photos

Spy photographers have caught two next-generation Volkswagen Touareg SUVs testing.

Both vehicles were spied testing with different types of camouflage, and when combined it gives us a better idea of what to expect when the new Touareg debuts. Based on the same platform as the Audi Q7, Bentley Bentayga and the upcoming Porsche Cayenne, the next-gen Touareg is expected to benefit from lightweight construction.

Unlike the new Volkswagen Atlas, the Touareg will remain a five-seater offering but do expect it to be wider than the current model.

Its appearance should be a bit more dynamic as well, following in the footsteps of the new Atlas. Expect changes in the cabin to bring the Touareg up-to-date in terms of tech features and high quality materials.

The new Touareg is just another part of Volkswagen’s product onslaught looking to capture more of the crossover and SUV segments in the U.S. And since it’s trying to move away from its massive diesel scandal, the Touareg will likely gain a plug-in hybrid variant down the road instead of offering a diesel engine in the U.S.
