A completely naked 2019 Volkswagen Touareg SUV has
been spied in Beijing, painted in black with an R logo in the grille. The new
Touareg will have its worldwide debut in April on the Beijing Auto Show.
The Touareg will be imported into China, and
positioned above the locally made Volkswagen Teramont. The 2019 Touareg stands
on the MLB Evo platform, the same platform that also underpins the Audi Q7, the
Bentaley Bentayga, the new Lamborghini Urus, and the Porsche Cayenne.
In China, the new Touareg will be available with a
250 hp 2.0 turbo, a 299 hp 2.5 turbo VR6, and a 3.0 turbo V6 with about 230 hp.
Four-wheel drive will be standard on all models. The Touareg is a five-seat car
but we are hearing rumors that Volkswagen is developing a seven-seat variant
for the Chinese and North American markets.
Interestingly, the current Touareg is still
available in China, likely from stock, and only with the 320 hp 3.0 TSI.
Official price ranges from 724.800 to 908.800 yuan, but dealer price ranges
from 600.000 to 780.000. A huge discount and with the new one one the way
prices will go lower still.
