2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid – Click above for high-res image gallery<\/small><\/em><\/strong><\/div>\n

\nVolkswagen<\/a> has just unveiled its 2011 Touareg<\/a> for the first time in the States, giving us Americans a chance to see the slimmed down SUV<\/a> and its hybrid sibling that we first saw at the Geneva Motor Show<\/a> earlier this month. This second generation Touareg will still have a diesel option, but for those who like to feel even better about themselves while they gently crush wildflowers in the Arctic National Preserve, there’s also a hybrid model offered for the first time in a VW SUV.<\/p>\n

The hybrid model gets a 3.0-liter, supercharged, direct injection V6 gasoline engine paired with an electric motor and eight-speed automatic transmission that help it to a mileage rating of 21 miles per gallon city and 25 highway. That V6-plus-electric-motor combo also combines for 375 horsepower and 428 lbs.-ft. of torque, allowing a healthy towing capacity of up to 7,700 pounds. There’s a full rundown of the details in the press release you’ll find after the jump, and a gallery of live images from the show floor here at the 2010 New York Auto Show<\/a> below.<\/p>\n
