Volkswagen Sets 2026 End for Touareg, Launches Final Edition Run-Out

The send-off caps a 1.2‑million‑sale legacy as Volkswagen positions its flagship SUV line for an electric future still to be confirmed.

Overview

  • Production of the current, combustion-powered Touareg will cease in 2026, closing a 23-year run that began in 2002.
  • A Final Edition package is offered across the range with laser-engraved and illuminated badges, black exterior trim, and a unique dark blue paint option.
  • Order books for the Final Edition are scheduled to close at the end of March 2026, with German pricing reported from €75,025 to €103,005 for the R Hybrid.
  • Volkswagen Australia says the Final Edition will be sold locally and expects Touareg availability in showrooms well into 2026.
  • Industry reports suggest the Touareg name could return as a fully electric flagship around 2029 on VW’s SSP platform, though Volkswagen has not confirmed a successor.
