UPDATE: Volkswagen has now\u00a0released the new Touareg<\/a>. Click here to read all about Volkswagen’s new SUV<\/a>!<\/strong><\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a long time coming, but Volkswagen\u2019s ageing flagship SUV has finally been retired. And now we know what the new one will look like.<\/p>\n

Well, sort of. So far, VW has only sent out a sketch of the car in profile. The company is holding off on a proper reveal until March, when it\u2019ll be shown off at a global premiere in Beijing.<\/p>\n

Anyway, we\u2019re told that the new Touareg will be all-new. That means a new chassis, a new body, new engines, a new interior, and a new suspension set-up.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately, we don\u2019t have many details yet. VW promises a load of \u201cinnovative assistance systems\u201d to provide safety and comfort, and a new type of infotainment system called the \u201cInnovation Cockpit\u201d. We imagine that\u2019ll be similar to Audi\u2019s Virtual Cockpit system, though VW also reckons that the new Touareg will feature one of the largest digital cockpits in the class.<\/p>\n

Design-wise, well, this certainly looks like it\u2019ll be another strong effort from VW. With the Arteon and new-gen Tiguan, Volkswagen is on a bit of a roll with its styling. This sketch suggests that the Touareg will be made up of a lot of the same lines.<\/p>\n

Volkswagen is also touting the Touareg\u2019s off-road credentials by linking it to the Touareg-based Dakar Rally cars. Now, let\u2019s be fair \u2013 those rally cars aren\u2019t really like standard Touaregs at all. But, hopefully, the fact that VW is drawing any attention at all to the Touareg\u2019s off-road abilities means that it might actually be decent when the going gets tough.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll obviously bring you more information on the new Touareg when it\u2019s properly unveiled in March. And once it has been unveiled, you won\u2019t have to wait long to get your hands on one \u2013 VW says that it\u2019ll be available in the Middle East from May.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
