The Volkswagen Touareg is a mid-size luxury crossover SUV that Volkswagen produced from August 2002 until March 2026, the brand flagship SUV throughout its life. It was built at the Volkswagen Bratislava plant in Slovakia, with assembly from kits in Malaysia from 2024. The first generation was developed jointly with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7 on the PL71 platform and offered engines of five to twelve cylinders; the second generation introduced a full-hybrid variant, and the third moved to the MLB Evo architecture and added a plug-in hybrid. It was dropped in North America after the 2018 model year because the larger Atlas sold better. A Touareg named Stanley won the 2005 DARPA Grand Challenge.
