This latest Touareg update was launched with five powertrain versions, all with 3.0 litre V6 engines. The first is a turbocharged petrol unit that serves up 340 PS (335 hp or 250 kW), which is followed by two turbodiesel options making 231 PS (228 hp or 170 kW) and 286 PS (282 hp or 210 kW).

The remaining two drive systems are plug-in hybrids with an electric motor that carry the ‘eHybrid’ label and provide 381 PS (375 hp or 280 kW) in the Touareg eHybrid, or 462 PS (456 hp or 340 kW) in the returning Touareg R eHybrid. All powertrains come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission and 4Motion permanent all-wheel drive system.

The Touareg’s various other MLB Evo shared platform siblings are already on sale in Malaysia – the Cayenne, Bentayga, Q7, Q8 and Urus. The Cayenne is even locally assembled in Sime Darby’s facility in Kulim, Kedah.
