最近国外网站发布了其绘制的2018款大众途锐最新合成图。该车与奥迪Q7共享平台，预计第三代途锐将与新款Arteon旗舰级车型采用相同的前大灯/前格栅。整个前脸预计将有很大变化，而车身其余部分设计则采用渐进式改款。不过，车厢内将采用更激进改款，毕竟现行版途锐上市已经七年了。预计车厢内将提供全数字仪表群，信息娱乐系统提供更大触控显示屏并支持手势操控，同时将与Arteon共享大众最新安全和辅助驾驶系统。同时，由于车身尺寸增加及采用了MLB Evo平台，车厢内部空间更宽敞，重量也将进一步降低。至于动力系统，预计欧版车将搭载3.0升TDI V6引擎，而美版车只提供汽油引擎。大众已经承认正在为Arteon和Atlas开发六缸涡轮增压引擎，因此新引擎未来将应用于途锐。而VR6引擎有望配备在美版车型上。而在某些市场还将提供2.0升TSI四缸引擎以及GTE插电混动版本。所有车型预计将标配全轮驱动和自动变速器。该车将于11月在斯洛伐克布拉迪斯拉发工厂投产。该车或许将在9月的法兰克福车展发布，甚至有可能将在未来几周后献身互联网。
2018 VW Touareg Will Probably Look A Lot Like This
Having introduced the next-gen Polo, Volkswagen is currently gearing up to unveil the rest of its new products pinned for a 2017 premiere. Some of the most important models would have to be the T-Roc, Jetta, Virtus (Polo Sedan), and this — the Touareg. Since today is Friday, Motor1 Italy / OmniAuto.it has cranked up Photoshop to try and see into the somewhat predictable near future of Wolfsburg’s brand new luxury SUV.
Sharing the platform with the more upmarket Audi Q7, the third generation Touareg is expected to get just about the same headlight + front grille treatment as the sleek new Arteon flagship model. The latter was previewed by the Sport Coupe Concept GTE that had the same look shared to same extent with the T-Prime Concept GTE, which was basically a teaser for the new Touareg.
The front fascia will likely represent the most significant styling change over its predecessor, while the rest of the exterior design is going to be evolutionary. More in-depth modifications will occur inside the cabin where the current Touareg is showing its age: seven years old. VW will make up for last time by giving its posh SUV an all-digital dash, bigger touchscreen for the infotainment system with gesture control, and the company’s latest crop of safety and assistance tech seen in the Arteon.
The cabin itself will be more spacious as a result of the vehicle’s increased footprint and also thanks to the clever packaging brought by the MLB Evo platform, which should bring along a healthy weight loss. We don’t need a crystal ball to figure out the engine lineup as the bread and butter in Europe will be the 3.0-liter TDI V6 while in the United States there are only going to be gasoline engines, for obvious reasons.
VW has admitted it’s working on a turbocharged six-cylinder engine for the Arteon and the Atlas, so there’s a good chance it will end up in the Touareg as well at some point in the future. Meanwhile, the VR6 will likely power the U.S.-spec Touareg. There should also be a four-cylinder, 2.0-liter TSI for some markets, as well as a plug-in hybrid version carrying the “GTE” suffix. All-wheel drive and an automatic transmission are expected to be standard across the range.
Production of the all-new Touareg is slated to commence in November at the factory in Bratislava, Slovakia. It’s probably a safe bet to assume we will see it at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September or even a few weeks sooner on the World Wide Web.
