Volkswagen India will bring the new Touareg SUV into India as a completely built unit (CBU) only which speaks for the lofty price. The facelifted Volkswagen Touareg SUV is expected to house the same diesel engine variant, the 3 liter common rail turbo diesel TDI engine producing 240 Bhp of peak power and a gigantic 550 Nm of peak torque.

The mighty muscular diesel engine will be mated to an 8 speed tiptronic automatic transmission, an upgrade from the current Touareg’s six speeder one.
