Now $8K cheaper yet better than ever! (Volkswagen Touareg 210TDI Elegance 2025 Review)

The Volkswagen Touareg has come in for a midlife facelift receiving a small nip and tuck with changes to the styling and a few extra features to make it more luxurious.

But the real change is to the asking price, with Volkswagen slashing the prices across the Touareg range in a determined effort to drive sales back to its flagship SUV to where they once were.

On-test today is the 210 TDI, the historical sweet spot of the range with air suspension, a more powerful turbo-diesel V6 engine making 210kW/600Nm and a very luxurious interior space.

But the large SUV space is very competitive and the Touareg will need to face off against the likes of the Toyota Prado, Ford Everest and Mazda CX-90 if it wants to stand a chance in our market. To find out if it's got the chops journalist Olek Novak investigates.
