Volkswagen India will bring the new Touareg SUV into India as a completely built unit (CBU) only which speaks for the lofty price. The facelifted Volkswagen Touareg SUV is expected to house the same diesel engine variant, the 3 liter common rail turbo diesel TDI engine producing 240 Bhp of peak power and a gigantic 550 Nm of peak torque. However, this identical engine will be tweaked from transmission perspective. The mighty muscular diesel engine will be mated to an 8 speed tiptronic automatic transmission, an upgrade from the current Touareg’s six speeder one.

This is possible due to a plethora of weight saving measures adopted by Volkswagen like usage of plenty of aluminum instead of steel which makes the car lighter. The Touareg SUV styling now follows Volkswagen’s latest design philosophy with the now familiar traditional grille up front.
