With lights, maps, no getting lost in Touareg

Volkswagen is prepping an update to the Touareg midsize crossover for 2024 that will sport a light bar flanked by a new set of matrix headlights with 38,400 combined micro LEDs, with the ability to project lane guidance and improve night driving overall.

VW released images this week of the camouflaged Touareg undergoing tests in Swedish Lapland.

The Touareg’s standard steel spring running gear and an optional two-chamber air suspension running gear are reworked to achieve an even larger bandwidth between maximum comfort and optimum performance.

The Touareg’s “innovision cockpit” receives high-res map data and lane-precise navigation, improved voice control, and wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity. Customer input prodded VW to add softer armrests and center console panels.

VW says the freshened Touareg will be introduced this summer. It dropped the Touareg in the U.S. when the Atlas large crossover was launched, and there are no plans to resumes U.S. sales.
