Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid Overview

The Touareg Hybrid is powered by a supercharged 3.0-liter V6 and 47-hp electric motor for a combined power output of 380-hp. An 8-speed automatic puts the power to the ground through a 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. Regenerative braking helps to recharge the battery, and the automatic start-stop system conserves fuel when the vehicle is stopped. Standard features include dual-zone automatic climate control, power memory front seats, Bluetooth, heated front seats, 19-inch alloy wheels, and touch-screen navigation system. Standard safety features include anti-lock brakes, traction and stability control, six airbags, tire pressure monitoring, rain sensing wipers and front fog lights.

For 2012, the Touareg Hybrid adds LED rear lighting.
