The Volkswagen Touareg has now been on sale for 23 years. Oh, how time flies!
Unfortunately, we only bring you this fact because VW has now announced that production of the combustion-engined Touareg is set to end in 2027.
And so, like so often happens, we now have a ‘special edition’ model to see out the Touareg’s end of days. This is the aptly titled FINAL EDITION, and while Volkswagen has given it a shouty capitalized name, the car itself doesn’t scream about its prominence too loudly.

On the inside, you’ll find the same lettering embossed into the leather gear selector, and the name is lit up on the sills and on the passenger side of the illuminated dash. And that’s it. Still, Volkswagen included some images of all three Touareg generations with the release of this FINAL EDITION, so while reminiscing below, just imagine what a future ID. Touareg could look like…
