Though the Touareg brand name would make one stretch their grey cells to a limit, it is a crossover by the VW badge. It is already present in India and VW are only giving it an all new look and some more interior features. It is a 7 seater and has got an eight speed transmission and 240 Bhp power from its diesel motor sweeping 3 liters. Does that ring a bell? Yes, this is the same powerplant used in the much bigger and expensive Audi Q7. Toning down is the new mantra in the automotive world and the 2011 VW Touareg would lose about 200 kgs from its current avatar. The Porsche Cayenne also is built on the same platform as the Touareg. Being faster and also efficient at the same would describe the Touareg. The features list would include departure warning for lanes, blind spot information system, adaptive lights and also cruise control. Expect it to make it to the Indian shores by September or October 2011. The price tag would be Rs 2-3 lakhs more than what the current SUV goes for.
