The new Volkswagen Touareg pics show the second generation model, which will now also be available in hybrid version. The hybrid Touareg has impressive performance figures, with its 3.3-litre V6 and electric motor producing a total of 380 hp and 580 Nm of torque. Other engine options in the range include a 3.0-litre V6 TDI with 240 hp and 550 Nm of torque, which rivals the hybrid in terms of fuel economy.

There’s also the 3.6-litre V6 FSI with 280 hp and 360 Nm of torque, and the 4.2-litre V8 TDI with 340 hp and 800 Nm of torque, which substitutes the discontinued V10 TDI. Overall, the new Touareg is longer and lower than the previous generation, with more interior space, too. It weighs 208 kg less and fuel consumption has been reduced by 20 percent across the range.

The Touareg Hybrid consumes 8.2 litres of petrol per 100 km, while the V6 TDI does 100 km with 7.4 litres. The new Tiptronic eight-speed transmission also helps reduce consumption. A Terrain Tech option is offered with five different options under the all-wheel 4XMotion drive. All models are fitted with the Tiptronic transmission and start-stop technology.
