Yesterday, Volkswagen took the covers off of the new 2011 Touareg. The big news for the 2011 model year is the hybrid variant, which is powered by a supercharged V6 TSI unit making 333-hp. Mated to an 8-speed automatic transmission and a 47-hp electric-motor, the 2011 Touareg Hybrid produces a total of 380-hp and a maximum torque of 428 lb-ft. Fuel-economy is estimated to come in at 39 mpg.
More details of the U.S.-spec 2011 Volkswagen Touareg are expected to be released later this year along with pricing details. Until then, here is a video of the Touareg going off-roading in the Sahara desert.
