From the exterior point of view, the new Volkswagen Touareg has not been adjusted for styling design, and the car continues to offer two front face designs, the regular version and the R-Line version, and the main difference between the two is the styling of the front bumper.

As a Touareg on the same platform as Porsche, why did it lead to poor sales?
In the final analysis, it is difficult to support models such as Phaeton and Touareg with the added value of the Volkswagen brand, and there are BBA products of the same level, after all, the price difference is not too big, and there is its own little brother Touron's super high cost performance, making it difficult for the Touareg to become popular again.
There's no denying that the Touareg is a good car, but how many consumers can afford the price of the Touareg? And why should consumers who can afford the price of the Touareg choose the Touareg?
If it were you, how would you choose?
