The 2011 Volkswagen Touareg will make its world debut at the Geneva Motor Show. It’ll feature three engine options, including a hybrid combination worth 380 hp.
This new Volkswagen  Touareg represents VW’s first foray into the premium-hybrid-SUV market, which includes gasoline-electric entries from BMW, Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Cadillac, among others. Further competition will come from a similarly powered version of the new Porsche Cayenne, alongside which the new Touareg was developed.

The new Touareg brings with it Volkswagen’s first ever mass produced hybrid drivetrain. The hybrid combines the VW Group’s supercharged and direct injected 3.0-liter V6 with an electric motor and an eight-speed automatic transmission. The Touareg hybrid gets a combined rating of 28.6 mpg (U.S.)

on the EU cycle, a number that will probably be closer to 24-25 when it arrives Stateside. The diesel powered TDI does even better now with a rating of 31.8 mpg (U.S.). The Touareg is also available with a normally aspirated 3.6-liter gasoline V6 and for the first time the awesome 335 horsepower 4.2-liter TDI V8. Even the diesel V8 is rated at 25.8 mpg (U.S.). Unfortunately Americans won’t be able to get that powerplant.
