A big, technologically advanced SUV from a German company who's name translates as "People's Car"? That's just wrong… except the Touareg is a good piece of engineering, and it's about to get even better.
Our spy photographers have turned their cameras to video recording and shot this clip of the new Touareg model, a facelift which will likely be revealed within the next few months.
Launched in 2010, the second generation model still has quite a few old engines in its range, especially the non-European models. We've heard that the basic V6 TDI with 204 PS will be swapped for a newer 2.0 TDI, while the 240 PS version of the 3.0 TDI will be replaced by a 260 PS unit. US market representatives have said they want to get rid of the 3.6-liter FSI V6, replacing it with a smaller turbo.
Under that camo, a new three-bar upper grille will be flanked by revised headlight units. The overall look will be cleaner, much like the Golf 7's.
Mihnea's favorite cars have already been built, the so-called modern classics from the '80s and '90s. He also loves local car culture from all over the world, so don't be surprised to see him getting excited about weird Japanese imports, low-rider VWs out of Germany, replicas from Russia or LS swaps down in Florida.
