Volkswagen Touareg SUV is a hybrid sports utility vehicle (SUV) based on Volkswagen’s PL71 SUV platform and has been available in India since long time. Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7 are its closest in the clan of premium cars of the SUV segment in India. Volkswagen Touareg, however, comes third in the sales. The dismal sales scenario could now improve as perceived by one development that took place recently in the United States of America. The America Chief Executive of Volkswagen, Mr. Jonathan Browning disclosed that the company is keen and is seriously considering the idea of launching a seven seater SUV which would be bigger but lot more inexpensive than the Touareg.

The features of this seven seater SUV are still a mystery as the things are too raw and new. In fact, the proceedings are still in the preliminary study stage. As per the auto-experts with deep knowledge, this premium luxury car, if ever get produced, is expected to have a typical Volkswagen TDI turbo diesel engine, it may also be made with a hybrid option.
