These spy shots attest to the fact that planning is going ahead for the Volkswagen Touareg launch, but reports say the car will lose its V8 engine offering as part of downsizing strategy.

The new model will be lighter by 300 kg, and the modifications in style will mostly affect the front end, with rectangular lines and an overall cleaner look. A hybrid version will be introduced, matched to the 3.0 litre TSI V6.

The more hard core offroad elements will be dropped to make way for a car more similar to the Audi Q7. Some of the offroad features will then be available on the options list. The more sports style will also see an addition of a third row of seats in 2011.
