Volkswagen Reportedly Plans 2029 ID. Touareg on New SSP Platform

The large electric SUV is not expected for the U.S., according to German trade publication Automobilwoche.

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.
