The second-generation of the Touareg is bigger but lighter than the outgoing model, losing about 208kg in weight. The Touareg 2010 is based heavily on the upcoming new Porsche Cayenne, and features the familiar Volkswagen family front look that has already been seen on the Golf and Polo. The Touareg 2010 features a lower roofline and curvier lines compared to the old model. The steel body adopts an edgier look with tauter surfacing, more defined feature lines and squared-off wheel arches. The front is characterized by Volkswagen's latest corporate grille, while the rear updates the look of the old model with a large single-piece tailgate carrying distinctive LED-enhanced taillights.
