2014 Volkswagen Touareg X Special Edition

TOUAREG X SPECIAL EDITION CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF VOLKSWAGEN'S MID-SIZE LUXURY SUV

Just 1000 Touareg X models will be made, based on the TDI® Clean Diesel Lux trim line
Herndon, VA - Ten years ago, Volkswagen introduced its first mid-size luxury SÚV, the Touareg. Since then, 700,000 have been sold around the world, with 121,385 of them in the Ú.S, to-date. To celebrate the anniversary, Volkswagen will sell 1000 Touareg X models, based off the TDI Clean Diesel Lux trim. The car commemorates the Touareg SÚV's decade-long history offering advanced, fuel-saving technologies, and a premium driving experience.



Inside, the Touareg SÚV's already luxurious interior is enhanced by Vienna leather seating surfaces in Black Anthracite and a complementing black headliner. Defining this tenth-anniversary model are unique Engineered Ebony Wood accents on the dashboard and doors that complement the piano black center console. The upscale look is rounded out by aluminum door sill scuffplates with front illumination, aluminum-appearance pedal covers, and ambient lighting. It has never been so comfortable conquering the wilderness or maneuvering through busy city streets.

As with all TDI Lux models, the Touareg X is powered by Volkswagen's 3.0-liter turbocharged and direct injection V-6 TDI Clean Diesel engine that makes 240 horsepower and a stout 406 pound-feet of torque. The engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission and achieves an EPA estimated 29 mpg on the highway, giving a range of more than 700 highway miles on each tank of ultra-low-sulfur diesel. The 4MOTION® all-wheel-drive system is standard.
