The Volkswagen Touareg is dying, and this is the FINAL EDITION

The Volkswagen Touareg has now been on sale for 23 years. Oh, how time flies!

Unfortunately, we only bring you this fact because VW has now announced that production of the combustion-engined Touareg is set to end in 2027.

And so, like so often happens, we now have a ‘special edition’ model to see out the Touareg’s end of days. This is the aptly titled FINAL EDITION, and while Volkswagen has given it a shouty capitalised name, the car itself doesn’t scream about its prominence too loudly.

In fact, all you’ll find to separate this from a standard Touareg on the outside is some FINAL EDITION lettering laser-engraved on the window surrounds of the rear doors. Subtle.

On the inside you’ll find the same lettering embossed into the leather gear selector, and the name is lit up on the sills and on the passenger side of the illuminated dash. And that’s it.
