The all new Volkswagen Touareg R has just been revealed. It looks fantastic, but more importantly it's a leap forward for VW in the PHEV world.
- It's the first R-Line model to be available as a hybrid.
- It has a power output of 340 kW (462 PS)
- Towing capacity of 3.5 tonne.
- Permanent all-wheel drive (4MOTION)
- The Touareg R reaches speeds of up to 140 km/h under purely electric power and covers typical commuter distances with zero emissions
- Can be driven at up to 140 km/h using electric power; above this speed, the turbocharged V6 petrol engine (TSI) supplements the electric drive motor. The Touareg R will cover most commuter distances fully electrically.
It's expected to arrive in Ireland in early 2021.
Thanks for watching
