Its long-distance abilities are simply phenomenal.

Wheelbase is up 40mm from the first-generation Touareg.

Slim grille and slit headlamps give Touareg a broad-shouldered stance.

Thanks to the torque and the eight-speed gearbox, you can expect a reasonable 7.5kpl in the city. The tall cruising gears also help it achieve a decent 11.8kpl on the highway. This and the simply humongous 100-litre fuel tank means you can comfortably go 1000km between fill ups. Volkswagen isn’t offering the fuel -saving Bluemotion tech here tough.
