The power plant will be available in three trim levels: Touareg, SE and Altitude. All the levels will feature a comprehensive list of standard equipment like advanced 4Xmotion all-wheel-drive system, hill start and descend assist, air conditioning and six airbags are all fitted as standard. The price oscillates according their offer as follows: base version at £33,465 , £36,865 for the SE model and £39,665 for the range-topping Altitude trim level.
