The Touareg V6 TDI Clean Diesel features a turbocharged 3.0-liter diesel with 225 horsepower that's EPA-rated 19/28 mpg (22 mpg Combined). Least expensive and, in our view, most fun to drive is the Touareg VR6 FSI Sport, which uses a 280-hp V6 engine EPA-rated at 16/23 mpg City/Highway (21 mpg Combined). The Hybrid requires Premium gasoline, however. The Hybrid couples a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 engine to an electric motor to give the Touareg an effective 380 horsepower, with an EPA-estimated 20/24 mpg City/Highway (21 miles per gallon in the federal government's Combined city/highway fuel economy calculations). It's both the most powerful and the most expensive Touareg you can buy. The hybrid gas-electric version continues to headline the Touareg lineup. The 2012 Volkswagen Touareg offers a choice of gas, diesel or hybrid power, an 8-speed automatic, and a sophisticated all-wheel-drive system designed to handle true off-road use or improve stability on ice. The base 2012 Volkswagen Touareg VR6 Sport comes with a new audio system.
Most significantly, navigation is no longer standard on the 2012 Touareg, but in exchange the base price has been reduced by almost $1,500. Touareg was redesigned and re-engineered for the 2011 model year, so changes for 2012 are limited to new equipment packages and additional features. And a properly equipped Touareg is rated to tow up to 7,700 pounds. The Volkswagen Touareg can tackle the most rugged of terrain yet cruise down the highway in luxurious comfort.
