2021 Volkswagen Touareg price and specs

Volkswagen's flagship SUV picks up more efficient engine options and new model grades.


Volkswagen Australia has announced pricing and specification for its 2021 Touareg SUV line-up ahead of a local showroom debut in October.

The 190TDI V6 will be phased-out from the Touareg line-up, with a new Euro 6 compliant 3.0-litre V6 diesel powering 170TDI, 210TDI Elegance and 210TDI R-Line variants. A Bentley-sourced 4.0-litre diesel V8 motivates the range-topping Touareg V8 TDI R-Line.

Pricing starts at $81,490 plus on-road costs for the 170kW/500Nm Touareg 170TDI, with the 210kW/600Nm 210TDI Elegance and 210TDI R-Line asking $99,490 and $108,490 respectively, plus on-road costs. The 310kW/900Nm Touareg V8 TDI R-Line closes the line-up at $136,490 plus on-road costs.

Volkswagen claims the 170TDI and 210TDI engines will get 6.8-litres/100km compared to the outgoing 190TDI's 7.4L/100km. The Touareg V8 R-Line returns a claimed 7.5L/100km.

All variants send power through an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive system. The 2021 Touareg line-up also gets a larger 90 litre fuel tank (from the previous 75L), with a 24L AdBlue tank.

AdBlue is an ammonia-based fluid that is sprayed into the exhaust, turning harmful emissions into steam.

R-Line becomes a separate model grade on the 2021 Touareg rather than an options package.

The Touareg 170TDI gets IQ Drive – with emergency braking and pedestrian monitoring, lane assist with lane guidance, emergency, traffic and park assist, adaptive cruise control, front and rear cross-traffic assist, driver fatigue detection, a 360-degree camera, and front and rear parking sensors with a rear view camera – as standard.

LED head and tail lights, 19-inch alloy wheels, electric tailgate with keyless entry and start, a 9.2-inch touchscreen, heated and electric leather front seats, auto-dimming mirrors and rain-sensing wipers come as standard for 170TDI.

Touareg 210TDI Elegance gains 20-inch alloy wheels, LED matrix headlights with a washing system, air suspension, two-tone leather trim, and heated and ventilated front seats with eight massage programs.

The 210TDI R-Line gets all-wheel steering, active roll stabilisation, rear and side window tint (Volkswagen claims absorbs 82 per cent of light), R-Line leather interior, memory for front seats, mirrors and steering adjustment, brushed stainless steel pedals, R-Line multi-function steering wheel with heating and paddle shifters, and black headlining.

The range-topping Touareg V8 TDI R-Line gets ‘night vision’ thermal imaging, 21-inch alloy wheels with a tyre pressure monitoring system and the $8000 sound and comfort package – which includes an improves sound system, four-zone climate control, heated second-row seats, park assist and manoeuvre braking – as standard. The package is also offered on entry-level Touareg for the first time.

An $8000 Innovision package is now fitted as standard on all trims above 170TDI, adding a 15-inch touchscreen, 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, heads-up display, ambient interior lighting, a volume scroll wheel and gloss black centre console.

A panoramic sunroof can be added to trims above 170TDI for $3000, with metallic and pearl effect paints costing an additional $2100.

The 2021 Volkswagen Touareg line-up is offered with three- or five-year capped-price servicing, at $1350 and $2500 respectively.
