The front of the Touareg has been redesigned with a wider grille in an elegant chrome design in the regular versions, and a more aggressive and sharpened design in the sporty R-Line versions. Beneath the new grille, there are wider and more prominent air intakes, and the new design for the front is complemented by new IQ.LIGHT HD LED headlights, with each headlight featuring over 19,200 micro LED bulbs. At the rear, there are also new lighting units that display a new lighting signature, a LED strip connecting the two taillights, and an illuminated Volkswagen emblem. New wheel designs in sizes ranging from 19 to 21 inches complete the exterior update for the model.

Gasoline enthusiasts can opt for the 3.0-liter V6 turbo engine with an output of 340 horsepower, while those who prefer diesel can choose the 3.0-liter V6 turbo diesel engine with power outputs of 231 horsepower or 286 horsepower.
Above these models are the two plug-in hybrid eHybrid versions based on the 3.0-liter V6 turbo engine and a battery with a capacity of 17.9 kWh (net: 14.3 kWh), unchanged from the outgoing model.
