I've always thought the Touareg is a bit of an anomoly in the VW lineup - and not an anomoly I like very much. In fact, I've gone out my way to positively dislike the Touareg, but I must admit, the new one looks pretty inviting.
It's a much more attractive car and the efficiency promise makes the performance figures look a little bit less grimace-worthy.
Three standard trim levels are available - but I do like the look of the R-Line versions. Although having driven and reviewed the VW Golf R I have a bit of a weakness for 'R' VW's!
From the press release:
The top-of-the-range Touareg R-Line features an R-Line body kit with bespoke bumpers front and rear, sill extensions and wheel arch extensions; 20-inch ‘Tarragona' alloy wheels; lowered sports suspension; LED daytime running lights and a panoramic glass sunroof. Inside is a black roof lining; bespoke R-Line seats and aluminium-look pedals, while enhanced equipment includes a heated steering wheel; electrically operated tailgate and keyless entry and start.
