Volkswagen Touareg 2013 - Price, Variants Available

The 2012 Auto expo witnessed the launch of the much awaited second generation VW Touareg which will now be available in India.

Engine specifications:

• A V6 3 litre TDi diesel engine that generates 238 bhp of peak power and 550 Nm of maximum torque
• 6-speed automatic transmission that can learn from the driver’s preferences!
• An on-road mileage of about 9 to 11 kms/ltrs

At a whooping 50 -56 lakhs, the vehicle may seem too pricey for the enthusiast, but the vehicle, built on the same platform as the Audi Q7 and in co-development with the Porsche Cayenne, surely lives up to its globally revered reputation. Extreme comfort and ride safety are guaranteed thanks to its array of high-tech gizmos and top notch safety features. The Touareg can plough through the toughest of off-road conditions without breaking a sweat and at the same time, cruise the pot hole marred Indian suburbs as well as the highways with head-turning elegance.

Main competition: Mercedes Benz M-Class, Audi Q7, BMW X5.
