Overview

  • German trade outlet Automobilwoche reports the Touareg will return in 2029 as the electric ID. Touareg, a move Volkswagen has not confirmed.
  • The ID. Touareg is said to be the first Volkswagen to use the new SSP architecture, reshuffling plans that previously pointed to other models.
  • Carscoops relays that ID. Roc and ID. Golf launches have reportedly slipped to 2030 due to cost concerns and complications tied to moving ICE Golf production to Mexico.
  • Sources cited by the reporting say the electric Touareg would skip the U.S. market, while Volkswagen’s Scout EVs planned for North America would not be offered in Europe.
  • The Citizen reports the model is planned for production in Bratislava, with the current combustion Touareg still expected to end in 2026 per earlier reporting.
