VW Touareg Major Facelift Spy Photos

First Pictures

The two joint venture off roaders, Porsche Cayenne and Volkswagen Touareg, are about to get a major facelift due for launch in 2007. Both cars came on the market for the first time in 2002.

While already numerous prototypes of the restyled Porsche Cayenne got caught on photo, the revamped future Touareg went unnoticed until now.

Here are first photos showing details of the upcoming Touareg facelift. The prototype was snapped during an overnight stop next to a hotel parking lot in Northern Scandinavia.

As can be seen from the photos, the Touareg gets new headlights and an altered front end as well as air intakes in the front skirt. The rear end has also different taillights, and – according to the shot of the dashboard - the car will also get an all new instrument panel and centre console. In the photo the engineers have put covers over the dashboard in conceal the new look.
