The third Touareg, revealed in Beijing in March 2018, moved onto the MLB Evo platform it shares with the Porsche Cayenne, Audi Q7 and Q8, Bentley Bentayga and Lamborghini Urus. This was the first time the model had a body structure of its own rather than borrowing the Q7’s door skins.[1] Volkswagen never sold it in North America, where the cheaper, larger Atlas had already taken the Touareg’s old slot. A plug-in hybrid performance flagship, the Touareg R, followed in 2020; production of every version ended in March 2026 after a 2024 model-year facelift, closing out the nameplate after almost 24 years.
Only the Touareg R is recorded as a trim here: it is the one variant of this generation for which the source publishes a full power and torque figure. The base V6 TSI, V6 TDI and V8 TDI engines are named in the infobox but never given an output figure anywhere in the article, so they are left out rather than filled in from an unrelated Volkswagen Group rating for a similarly named engine elsewhere.
