Overview
- Automobilwoche reports Volkswagen will revive the Touareg as the ID. Touareg in 2029, though the company has not confirmed the plan.
- The model is tipped to debut the Scalable Systems Platform and use a zonal electronic architecture with Rivian-developed software.
- The move would follow the current Touareg’s reported end of production in 2026, creating a multi‑year gap as Bratislava is retooled for SSP.
- Regional strategy is shifting, with reports saying the ID. Touareg won’t be sold in the U.S. and Scout-branded EVs won’t be offered in Europe.
- Other brand timelines are stretching, with the ID. Golf and ID. Roc reportedly delayed to 2030, while Volkswagen Australia says Touareg remains its flagship locally.
