The German automaker Volkswagen has been producing its popular Touareg SUV for 20 years. To commemorate this milestone, the company has launched a special model named Touareg Edition 20. As expected, the limited edition model comes with unique design elements both inside and outside to distinguish itself from others in the lineup.
VW Touareg Edition 20 Preview
Exterior
First thing first, the VW Touareg Edition 20 has an exclusive Meloe Blue paint that complements well with glossy 20-inch Bogota wheels that are also unique for this edition. Besides, the side and rear windows are darker than before, and we can see Edition 20 signs on the pillars. The wheel arches and rear diffuser also have a black polished finish.
Interior
The Edition 20 idea continues inside as well as we are welcomed by glowing sill panels featuring the Edition 20 emblem. The seats are wrapped in black Savona leather with diamond stitching and contrasting Ceramique (light beige).
Red and beige piping are visible on the dashboard, steering wheel, and door inserts, whereas the leather gear shift lever displays Edition 20 emblem. The special model also features VW’s Travel Assist and Innovision Cockpit, containing a 15-inch infotainment display.
Powertrain
The 2022 VW Touareg can be had in any of the four available drivetrains. These include two V6 TDIs, a V6 TSI, and a plug-in hybrid V6 TSI. The plug-in hybrid model delivers the best performance, as its powertrain is capable of producing 375 horsepower (280 kilowatts) and 442 pound-feet (600 Newton-meters) of torque. Whatever engine you choose, it will send power to the wheel via an eight-speed automatic transmission. The all-wheel-drive system is standard.
Unfortunately, Volkswagen does not sell the Touareg in the American markets. The company discontinued the model a few years back due to dwindling sales. Therefore, you cannot have the special edition model in the U.S.A.
The Touareg is available in many other countries, including the UAE. Volkswagen introduced the SUV two decades back and has dispatched more than one million units so far. When it came, it was equipped with an available 5.0-litre V10 TDI Diesel engine capable of yielding 553 lb-ft (750 Nm) of torque.
Price and Availability
The Volkswagen Touareg Edition 20 will hit the roads in Europe this June, costing €77,530 ($82,694 at present exchange rates) minimum. It should be here in the UAE soon as well if the company deems to sell it in the Emirates. The 2022 Touareg’s price ranges from AED 180,900 to AED 219,764. The special edition’s price will depend on the powertrain you choose.
