Introducing the Iconic Touareg

The Volkswagen Touareg made its grand entrance in 2002 as the brand’s first SUV, marking a pivotal moment for VW. Known for its luxurious features and impressive performance, the Touareg quickly established itself as a formidable player among luxury SUVs. Developed alongside the Porsche Cayenne, it earned its place in the hearts of over 1.2 million drivers globally over three generations.

Bid Farewell with the Final Edition

As Volkswagen retires the Touareg after the 2026 model year, it introduces the “Touareg Final Edition.” Limited to exclusive design elements, this special model is a nod to the SUV’s storied history. With prices starting around €75,025 (,500), buyers can order their final edition until the end of March 2026. It boasts unique features such as laser-engraved “final edition” lettering, and the addition of multicolor ambient lighting for the elegance trim and above.

A Bright Electric Future?

While the gas-powered model is being phased out, Volkswagen hints at a potential EV successor to the Touareg. The announcement that the “current Touareg generation ends with a ‘final edition’” suggests that an electric version, possibly dubbed the ID.Touareg, may be on the horizon. As the automotive industry shifts toward electrification, it will be exciting to see how Volkswagen may continue the legacy of this beloved SUV in a new, sustainable form.
