The second generation of the Touareg was launched at the 2010 Geneva Motor Show and it is claimed by the Volkswagen to be the biggest technical evolution for a car in the company's history.
While the shape remained almost the same as on the previous model, there was nothing kept from that. In fact, the second generation of the Touareg is more related to the much more expensive Porsche Cayenne. The headlights featured bi-Xenon lights and the bumper was shaped to improve the attack angle.
Inside the cabin,the driver was spoiled with a lot of features even in the standard version. The infotainmen had a touchscreen on the center console with iPod connectivity located in the glove-compartment. The Volkswagen concept for the instrument cluster was the same for its entire range with tachometer, speedometer, fuel level and coolant temperature. For more information, a smaller display was located between the big analog dials. The Touareg had enough room for five passengers and no 7-seat option was available.
There was a big range of engines and transmission. When equipped with the off-road package, the Touareg had the central Torsen differential replaced with a transfer case and a low gear. It also had central and rear lockable differential via a rotating knob on the console. The standard suspension was with coil-springs, but an air-suspension was available. That could be used to raise the vehicle in off-road or lower it when cruising down the highway.
