. new set of spy shots of the next-generation VW Touareg have emerged, providing some more hints of what is to come for VW’. prized full-sized SUV.
These shots, likely taken in Germany, show the new Touareg undergoing some recent testing alongside . current Touareg model. With the two iterations photographed so close together, the pictures seem to show . smaller Touareg is coming, and one with perhaps . shorter ride height as well. But it’. tricky to judge dimensions from . photo like this.
Spotted under the camouflage, according to our spy photographer, are the new LED lights at the front and . newly designed set of taillamps for the rear. Other than that, we can’. discern much.
Expected under the hood of the new Touareg will be ..3.0 liter supercharged .6, an engine VW has also fitted to . hybrid drive system in collaboration with Porsche for the upcoming Cayenne . Hybrid. Speculation is that . Touareg hybrid may also come with that drivetrain too. The Touareg will also, of course, be fitted with VW’. more powerful diesel engines, including . top-range 5.0 liter biturbo .10 TDI diesel with 350 hp and 850 Nm of torque.
The next-generation Touareg will likely debut late in 2010 and will go on sale in early 2011.
