Next year Volkswagen is planning to launch a new petrol-electric hybrid version of its Touareg in its BlueMotion range but before that comes out, another variation of the good-looking SUV will get the environmentally conscientious stamp of approval.
The new Touareg TDI BlueMotion, just launched in Europe, comes with a 225hp (168kW) V6 TDI turbodiesel engine. This is the same engine found in the standard Touareg TDI clean diesel model that was introduced recently in the U.S., but thanks to a number of fuel saving adjustments the BlueMotion model is up to 10% more fuel-efficient than the already frugal standard model. Pricing for the new model starts at €50,450 (approximately $70,500) but no word on a U.S. launch.
