Launched in 2011 as an all-new generation in 2011, the Volkswagen Touareg is now enjoying its mid-lifecycle facelift. As you might expect being mid-way through its run, changes are subtle, but do their part to enhance the already handsome looks of Volkswagen’s top-of-the-line SUV.
Volkswagen’s sole display car at Paris was a nicely kitted Touareg R-design spec. Newly designed bi-xenon headlights are standard, changing their dot-to-dot lighting signature for a similarly shaped solid line of lightwork. This pairs to also to a new grille and taillight design.
R-design specifically comes with a more sporting lower fascia that carries the rocker panel’s chrome strip the whole way around the car. Lower rocker panels on the doors also get a more winged shape.
Inside, changes are subtle, though trim updates keep it fresh. More substantial is the navigation system, complete with Google search and satellite maps, wi-fi functionality and live traffic data.
Out on the roads of Paris, the Volkswagen Group was using new Touaregs in its shuttle service fleet. Viewing the Touareg in the real world, the subtle facelift had even more visual impact than it did on the show stand.
With the Touareg facelift now in production, it will likely only be a few months until we can expect to see them in the USA.
