Late last week – following the launch of the ID.4 in Mzansi – Volkswagen South Africa confirmed that consumers can look forward to the arrival of the updated Touareg SUV, available for purchase from August 1st, 2024. This premium offering boasts a refreshed design, alongside new technology features.

What you can look forward to

The most noticeable change lies in the Touareg’s front fascia. The grille has been redesigned to emphasize the vehicle’s width, complemented by striking new IQ.Light HD matrix headlights. These intelligent headlights feature three LED modules and L-shaped daytime running lights, offering improved visibility and a distinctive look. Additionally, an illuminated horizontal strip now stretches across the front, framing the Volkswagen logo.

The updates extend to the rear, featuring a continuous LED taillight strip and an illuminated red Volkswagen logo.

Interior Refinement

The new Touareg benefits from several interior upgrades. Standard equipment now includes improved voice control, while USB-C ports with faster 45-watt charging capabilities replace the previous 15-watt versions. Feedback from customers has also been addressed, with softer center console trims enhancing comfort.

Advanced Driver Assistance Systems

Safety remains a priority for the Touareg, with a comprehensive suite of standard and optional driver-assistance features. These include Travel Assist for semi-autonomous driving, an area view camera for parking assistance, and Night Vision technology for improved nighttime visibility.

IQ.Light HD matrix headlights
