With its unique, imposing appearance, the Touareg was first released by Volkswagen in 2002. Based on the VW Group platform, which is also used by the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7, the Touareg has been through three generations, each bringing with it new power options and updated styling features. VW has successfully managed to keep the larger Touareg relevant despite the rise of crossovers.

Volkswagen Touareg generations
Third Generation (2018 to 2023)
With the third generation, VW built the Touareg to compete with higher-end models, but at a lower price. LED matrix headlights were added, along with three horizontal chrome bars on the grille. In the cabin, a 15-inch touchscreen and a 12-inch digital cockpit display were installed.
A 2024 refresh added more safety features, such as Park Assist Plus, Night Vision and Trailer Assist. There's also a smart system that uses the roof load sensor to adjust the stability control when carrying heavy gear.

Second Generation (2010 to 2019)
When the second-generation Touareg was shown in 2010, Volkswagen announced it as the biggest technical evolution in the company's history. The shape of the SUV remained the same, but bi-Xenon lights and a restyled bumper made it more dynamic. Available air suspension enabled the car to provide a smoother ride off-road.
A facelift came in 2014 with a new grille and four chrome lines. These lines extended out to the bigger bi-Xenon headlights. The interior offered new leather colours, improved controls and enhanced lighting solutions.
