The drive-away cost of the Volkswagen Touareg large SUV has been cut by $12,000 across the range ahead of the facelifted version’s local arrival.

The starting point for the diesel-only Touareg drops from $98,020 drive-away (Sydney postcode) to $86,020.

VW’s mid-range Touareg 210TDI Elegance is reduced by the same amount to $105,998, while the outgoing flagship 210TDI R-Line is now $115,763 – with all “factory bonus” prices available until the end of March.

The company says the limited-time offer follows a “recent significant supply boost” for the Touareg line-up, which was the 10th most popular large SUV over $70K locally in 2023.

Sales last year were down about 25 per cent from where they have been in recent years.

The run-out deal coincides with the updated Touareg range, which is due in April or May.

The update includes styling and technology updates, including slimmer headlights, an integrated front lighting strip, and an enhanced matrix front-lighting system.

The headline act is a new range-topping model – a 250kW petrol-electric plug-in hybrid Touareg R.

It’s notable as VW’s most powerful production model yet and as the first PHEV to be sold by Volkswagen in Australia.
