Volkswagen is going to introduce a new version of the Touareg SUV by upping its premium status and standards from the way people perceive it. Yes, it is going to be plusher and influential courtesy of the sharper design language taken from the second-generation Tiguan that was launched in India in May 2017 and locally assembled at VW’s Aurangabad plant.
In foreign marketplace, the upcoming Touareg will be positioned above the Tiguan when it goes on sale later this year. The German automaker unveiled the Atlas SUV a while ago for global markets and it would likely sit under the Touareg in highly capable markets like China and countries in North America. The five-seater will be pitched to claim more volume sales than it currently does. However, for emerging markets like Brazil, the Atlas is said to be considered more viable.

It is expected to have latest in-car connectivity system, a larger touchscreen infotainment system along with driver assistance and safety technologies.
