This is the 20th year that Volkswagen Touareg has been with people. 20 years is enough time to make a classic. After three generations of innovation, Touareg is undoubtedly a classic of imported medium and large SUVs, from the initial hardcore wildness to today's elegant style, Touareg has changed the law to show people the keywords of each era.
The hybrid model of the Touareg family, the Touareg eHybrid, is no exception. Combining Volkswagen's MLB Evo platform with a plug-in hybrid system, this is another masterpiece of Touareg's new look before the age of 20 and after adulthood.

There is nothing more worthy of the vitality of a 20-year-old than the warm trees of early warblers and the spring mud of new swallows. So, in the 20th spring of Touareg's relationship with us, we choose to go with Touareg eHybrid to feel the calmness of twenty and stand, to witness the charm of inheritance and renewal.
So, where is spring?
In front of the Touareg eHybrid, distance is no longer an issue. At full capacity, the plug-in hybrid system can carry the Touareg eHybrid for more than 1,000 kilometers, even exceeding the single endurance of a fuel vehicle. So, no matter where spring is, Touareg eHybrid always takes us to find it.
Range anxiety aside, all that's left is enjoy the trip.
The Touareg eHybrid is also powered by a third-generation EA888 series 2.0TSI engine and a 100 kW electric motor. In hybrid mode, the two powertrains work together with a maximum combined output of 270 kW and 700 Nm, with an acceleration time of only 5.7 seconds per 100 km/h. The two sets of power systems complement each other, helping the vehicle to "spread wilderness" on the way to find spring.

Strong performance and reliable quality are the image that Touareg has successfully shaped over the past 20 years, and the green and low-carbon mobility experience created by eHybrid models for Touareg is a different look for Touareg in the next 20 years or more.
