Volkswagen chose the 2014 Beijing Auto Show to introduce the facelifted version of the second Touareg SUV. At a glance, it didn't seem to have too many improvements, but it did. First was the look, then the interior and some technical details. As usual for the German manufacturer, the interior was updated too.
On the outside, the first noticeable detail is the front. Touareg received a new grille with four chromed lines instead of two as before. The new lines are extended to the larger, bi-xenon headlights, which are offered as standard on all trim levels. A new “Chrome & Style” package is offered, with chrome strips on the sides and rear of the vehicle.
Inside, there are new accents, leather colors, lighting solutions and controls. The Touareg launched its “mobile online services” in Europe, in conjunction with the RNS 850 radio-navigation system that can be connected to a mobile phone via Bluetooth. The navigation system incorporates a Points-of-Interest (POI) search via Google and the map display is via Google Earth mapping service.
The 2014 version of the Touareg was launched on the market in diesel (TDI), petrol (FSI and TSI) and hybrid (TSI plus e-motor) models. All engines were mated with a performant Aisin 8-speed automatic transmission.
