We drive new VW Touareg
VOLKSWAGEN has made lots of noise about
its latest Touareg SUV, billing it as the firm’s
most advanced car yet. It was revealed in full
earlier this year, but now we’ve been given the
keys to deliver our definitive first drive verdict.
The hi-tech flagship is based on the same
platform as Bentley’s six-figure Bentayga, and
we have high hopes for it. Find out what we
think on

from Friday.
