SUV

The 2021 Volkswagen Touareg Wolfsburg has been announced, with only 300 of the special SUVs on offer. Of those, 200 will be fitted with a 3.0-litre turbo diesel V6 producing 210kW and 600Nm – the high-output V6 engine offered in the Touareg range – and taking a claimed 6.5 seconds to hit 100km/h from a standstill, the same as the 190TDI, through an eight-speed automatic transmission and all-wheel drive.

A production variant of the Volkswagen SMV concept has been spied without camouflage in China, where the large seven-seater SUV will come onto the market in 2021, according to Chinese website Autohome. The car is built on the MQB platform, and represents the longest SUV in the Volkswagen range at 5100mm. Images of the interior – which has not yet been revealed in detail by the German manufacturer – show a deviation from other vehicles in the line-up.
