2012 Volkswagen Touareg
Hybrid
- A mid-sized hybrid SUV, with full-sized SUV utliity
Updated March 29, 2012
Volkswagen’s first hybrid offers some impressive numbers, such as the ability to tow 7,700 pounds while offering up to 25 mpg in the city thanks to the Touareg hybrid's ability to stay in EV mode up to 30 mph. Nonetheless, the most important Touareg hybrid number, and also the least impressive, is the price.
At $61,385 the Touareg hybrid doesn’t just cost well over $10,000 more than the gasoline and the turbo-diesel versions, but also far more than the competition, including hybrid offerings from even BMW and Lexus.
Sure, the Touareg is loaded, offering “standard luxury amenities like leather-trimmed seats, panoramic roof, heated steering wheel and seats and a navigation system with a huge dashboard display.”
With 380 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque – the most torque of any Touareg – the Touareg hybrid is obviously a performance-orientated hybrid, as well as the best performing Touareg.
But is this what hybrid SUV seekers covet?
If so, then get out there and test drive the 2012 Volkswagen Touareg hybrid. -->
