Volkswagen has introduced a new Touareg model to mark the 10^th anniversary of the model’s world premiere at the Paris Motor Show, the Touareg Edition X. The Touareg Edition X can be ordered with a choice of five engine/gearbox combinations, including a hybrid version.

The new Touareg Edition X runs as standard on 19-inch ‘Moab’ alloy wheels and, combined with the Moonlight Blue Pearl Effect exterior paint, available as an option, offers a stylish level of specification. A large panoramic slide/tilt sunroof, silver anodized roof rails, bi-xenon headlights with LED daytime running lights and darkened rear light clusters in LED technology complete the look of this striking off-roader. In addition, the ‘Chrome & Style’ designer pack, tinted side and rear windows and ‘Touareg X’ logos on the wings are also included in the package.

The Touareg Edition X has exclusive Nappa leather trim in amber brown with a new style of braid embossed finish. On top of this come decorative inlays in real ebony for doors and instrument panel, plus illuminated front door sills with ‘Touareg X’ lettering. The package is rounded off with color-coordinated decorative stitching on the leather steering wheel, gear lever gaiter and fabric floor mats.
