All the powertrain engineering packed into the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Hybrid largely goes unnoticed, even though there is always a lot going on.

The Touareg Hybrid is both the fastest and most powerful of the line. It will hit 62 mph in 6.5 seconds according to Volkswagen, a full 1.3 seconds faster than either the V-6 gasoline or V-6 diesel models.

There’s little doubt in our mind that the ’11 Volkswagen Touareg is a big improvement over the first-generation SUV. It’s lighter, better looking, roomier and more nimble.

You want a 2011 Touareg if you need to haul people and stuff and a European premium feel is how you roll. There’s a lot of variety here with the three powertrain configurations, and the hybrid is one heck of a satisfying drive.

The all-new VW Touareg’s new face is manly, but not aggressive, making it look more like a large Golf. It will be first automobile in the U.S. to offer a diesel, gasoline, or hybrid drivetrain.

The Touareg is a lingering taste of VW’s semi-precious recent past—a little bit upmarket in both content and pricing. This SUV does maintain the image of the people’s car as an upmarket alternative.
