2011 Prices of Volkswagen Touareg

 

Vehicle Highlights

The 2011 Volkswagen Touareg is redesigned, with freshened styling and the company's first gas/electric hybrid model. This 5-passenger wagon has standard all-wheel drive, but the previous generation's low-range gearing has been discontinued.

The 2011 model is 1.5 inches longer in wheelbase, 1.6 inches longer overall, and 0.5 inches wider than the 2003-2010 Touareg. This Volkswagen lends elements of its basic design to the premium-midsize Porsche Cayenne. Three powertrains are offered: conventional gas, TDI diesel, and gas/electric hybrid. The conventional engine is a 280-horsepower 3.6-liter V6 engine. The TDI has a 225-horsepower 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. The Hybrid pairs a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine with an electric motor for 380 horsepower total. It can run on one or both of its power sources to balance acceleration and fuel economy. No plug-in charging is required. All Touaregs use an 8-speed automatic transmission. Maximum towing capacity is 7,700 pounds. Available safety features include ABS, traction control, antiskid system, curtain-side airbags, and front-side airbags. V6 and TDI versions come in Sport, Lux, and Executive trims. The Hybrid comes in a single trim level with equipment similar to Executive versions. A navigation system, rearview camera, power driver and passenger seats, and heated front seats are standard across the board. Leather upholstery, a panoramic sunroof, and memory seats are standard on the Lux, Executive, and Hybrid. Rear-obstacle detection, an uprated audio system, keyless access/engine start, heated rear seats, and a heated steering wheel are standard on the Executive and Hybrid. A power tilt and telescopic steering wheel is standard on the Hybrid and not available otherwise. This evaluation is based on preview test drives

  Pricing Key: Retail prices listed with each report are set by the vehicle's manufacturer. These figures appear on each car's federally mandated window sticker. Most price lists also include dealer-invoice prices. Dealer-invoice prices are what the dealer pays the manufacturer for the car and its factory-installed options. The destination charge is not included in the suggested-retail or dealer-invoice price and must be added to the cost of the vehicle. Car companies change prices frequently throughout the year. If the prices published do not match those on the vehicle's window sticker, the manufacturer has probably altered the price recently.
