As a longtime diesel promoter, Volkswagen’s interest in hybrids has strictly been competitive, its corporate line an assertion that diesel is the better fuel-saving alternative. With the 2011 Touareg, though, VeeDub has not only acquiesced to hybrid demands, but has built one of the best gas/electric vehicles on the market.
Aside from the hybrid option, there are two other engines available in the newly redesigned Touareg. But the 3.6-liter gasoline V-6—280 hp, 265 lb-ft of torque—and the 3.0-liter diesel V-6—225 hp, 406 lb-ft—are fully carry-over designs; both are competent and have been enlivened this year by a new eight-speed automatic transmission. That transmission, paired with a weight reduction of roughly 400 pounds over the outgoing vehicle, results in claimed fuel-economy gains of up to 20 percent. But aren’t you more interested in VW’s first hybrid? So were we.
