2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid - Short Take Road Test

After a quick, horrified look at the pricing sheet, you might assume that Volkswagen wants to keep buyers away from its Touareg hybrid and steer them into a Touareg TDI. The hybrid’s base price is $12,615 higher than that of  VW’s crusading, hyper-efficient diesel and just $7290 short of a Porsche Cayenne S hybrid’s. But spend any amount of time in this re­sculpted mega-Dub with the dual-source powertrain, and you’re left marveling at how VW  has managed to integrate so much technology—the cause of many a Veyron-like moment of stupefaction—into something that costs just $61,385.

Because what the Touareg hybrid does is make good on the much-hyped but never-before-delivered promise of the perform­ance hybrid, the ol’ “V-8 power with V-6 efficiency!” canard. Unlike the Lexus and BMW leprechauns struggling to simultaneously maximize mpg and acceleration, the VW’s achievements can be summed up concisely: 0 to 60 in 5.9 seconds and an EPA combined fuel-economy rating of 21 mpg (only 1 mpg less than the Touareg TDI’s).
