In the long history of the automotive industry, there have always been a few models that have faded out of the market with the passage of time, but the glory they once brought is still vivid. The Volkswagen Touareg is one of them. This model has always been Volkswagen's most professional SUV, even at this stage, its market share is no longer as high as it used to be. However, as all saga ends, the Volkswagen Touareg is also coming to an end, and production is expected to be discontinued in 2025. Before that, Volkswagen will launch the ultimate version of this classic SUV – the last Touareg.
The design of the last Touareg retains the traditional Touareg elements while adding many new design concepts. Its exterior design combines strength and elegance, with a wide-body design and new Tomahawk-style wheels giving it a strong sporty look. From the front to the rear, every detail has been meticulously polished, showing the importance that Volkswagen attaches to this last generation.
The design of the front of the car is divided into two parts: the upper and lower parts. The upper part has a large U-shaped structure, and the vertical shapes added on both sides add a sense of strength. The combined LED headlights and the silver ribbon that connects the headlights not only serve as a decorative function, but also provide excellent illumination. The lower half is presented with a black grid element, echoing the upper half. On the whole, while maintaining simplicity, the design of the front of the car is more complex, and the scale is just right.
As a full-size SUV, the body size of the last Touareg is impressive. Length 51 meter, 2 meters wideThe body size of 1 meter gives a strong visual impact no matter which angle you look at. Narrow rim wheel arches and Tomahawk wheels give it a sporty look, while the continuous taillights and rear surround design show increased continuity. The double-sided single-outlet exhaust design continues the classic elements of the Touareg.
In terms of interior, the quality of the last Touareg has been significantly improved while maintaining the same structure. The steering wheel is composed of two materials, with a built-in hollow logo, and the black piano buttons on both sides enhance the overall texture. The center console is made entirely of genuine leather, and the stitching is just right. The option of red stitching can further enhance the sporty look. The display area remains the same, of which the multi-screen is still inclined to the driver's design, and the upgraded entertainment system and driving assistance system make driving more convenient and safe.
In terms of powertrain, the last generation of the Touareg is still equipped with a 30L V6 engine with a maximum power of 250 kW and a maximum torque of 450 Nm. It is mated to an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It is equipped with a standard four-wheel drive system, with excellent acceleration performance, and can break 100 in 6 seconds. Such a power configuration ensures that the last generation of the Touareg is not only remarkable in appearance, but also in performance.
Although the Touareg's market share is no longer as prominent as it once was, this does not detract from its mark on the history of automobiles. The launch of the last Touareg is undoubtedly the best tribute to this classic SUV. It not only represents the pinnacle of the Touareg collection, but also the end of an era. For car enthusiasts and Volkswagen enthusiasts, the last Touareg will be a classic to treasure. As we approach the end of the year, we look forward to the ultimate version of this legendary SUV, which will be an important milestone in Volkswagen's history.
