Volkswagen Unveils Touareg

Volkswagen has unveiled its Golf-based mini-Touareg to UK dealer principals on a visit to Germany. The newcomer is due to hit the streets within two years to take on Land Rover's new Freelander and Toyota's updated RAV4.

Details are scant but we have been told the compact Volkswagen 4x4 will be available with a full range of petrol and turbodiesel engines driving an advanced all-wheel-drive system. The five-door body will be roomy with a versatile seating layout to help it appeal to familes and owners who need practicality and 4x4 ability.

The new Volkswagen - still without a name - will take its place in the family line-up below the large Touareg.
