Milwaukee Volkswagen dealer, Hall Volkswagen, has revealed the details of the new 2011 Volkswagen Touareg which is being packed for the North American market, and it was a pleasant surprise to see it come bundled with three Powertrain choices. This includes the German automaker offering a hybrid engine outside of its home-base. Let’s take a quick look at what the SUV has to offer.

Buyers of VW in Milwaukee get to choose between the 3.0-L TDI® clean diesel delivering 225 hp and 406 lb-ft of torque, 3.6-L V6 FSI® gasoline pushing out 280 hp and 265 lb-ft of torque and the 3.0-L V6 TSI® supercharged hybrid, all with the company’s first eight-speed automatic transmission and its patented 4MOTION® all wheel drive.

Reinforced with an electric motor and a nickel-metal hydride battery pack, the hybrid Touareg offers a combined power of 380 hp with 428 lb-ft of torque, and can cruise at up to 30 mph on battery alone. It also gives a good 25 mpg on highways as estimated by EPA. The hybrid also features the Start-Stop system to enhance fuel economy and minimize emissions.

Most notable among body features, of course, is the 350-pound weight loss programme following a flattening process: the vehicle is now wider and shorter. A longer wheelbase and overall length makes sure you have more room inside the cabin. Other prominent features include a narrower front grille, U-shaped LED running lights and Bi-XenonTM High Intensity Gas-Discharged headlamps, new “L-Design” taillights and two chrome tailpipes. An interesting addition is the automatically opening and closing tailgate that can be operated from inside, at the tailgate itself or via a remote control on the fully redesigned key fob.

Milwaukee VW dealer, Hall VW, has decided to offer a wide color range, and you can opt for a Touareg in nine different colors, of which five are new: Cool Silver Metallic, Flint Gray Metallic, Toffee Brown Metallic, Night Blue Metallic and Tungsten Silver Metallic (exclusive for the Hybrid).
