HOW MUCH?
The Touareg range opens with the $67,990 150TDi. That signifies the 3.0-litre V6 turbodiesel’s power output, an irrelevance in 2.2-tonne SUV territory. It also produces 450Nm of torque, which is what really counts.
The $81,990 V6TDi runs the same engine, remapped and turboboosted for 180kW of power and 550Nm of torque.
And if you’re after the ultimate in turbodiesel performance, the V8 TDi R-Line, with a 250kW 4.2-litre V8 twin-turbodiesel, will set you back $114,990.
All models in the range come standard with an eight-speed automatic transmission.
