قراءة المقال باللغة العربية

The Touareg is a rather important model in the German manufacturer’s line-up. After all, it did mark the automaker’s entry into the SUV realm back in 2002.

Although the test mule’s identity cannot be fully confirmed (as the brand is working on a LWB Tiguan as well), evident design cues point in the direction of it being the all-new Touareg. As seen in the pictures, the all-new model appears to be slightly smaller than the existing model, and the wing mirrors seem to be moved farther back.

Underpinning the all-new Touareg, will be the same platform as the Bentley Bentayga, Audi Q7, and the all-new Porsche Cayenne. While this means a plethora of petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains are likely to make their way into the line-up, it explains the common design doctrine noticed along the length of the vehicle.
