Ever since the Touareg SUV was produced by Volkswagen it has only received one facelift, which debuted in North America as a 2008 model. Since then, Volkswagen has left the Touareg virtually untouched – at least to the public eye. Behind closed doors, however, Volkswagen was planning the redesigned 2011 Touareg you see here and a hybrid version that will be the first and only off-roader in Europe by a German automaker to be available as hybrid.
Volkswagen says that the Touareg Hybrid with a V6 gasoline engine will replace the V8 gasoline engine in many countries. Power for the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid comes from a supercharged V6 TSI unit making 333-hp. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 47-hp electric-motor (E-Motor), the Touareg Hybrid makes a total of 380-hp and a maximum torque of 428 lb-ft. That will allow the hybrid version of the Touareg to go from 0-62 mph in 6.5 seconds with a top speed of 149 mph. Even with that much power, Volkswagen says that the Touareg Hybrid will return an estimated 29 mpg. Features like Coasting (disengages the V6 TSI from the transmission when the driver releases the gas pedal) Regenerative Braking and Stop/Start System also help increase fuel-efficiency of the Touareg Hybrid.
