THE first Volkswagen Touareg was a roaring success, shifting 500,000 units since its debut in 2002, according to VW's official figures. So it seems like the second-generation big sports utility vehicle (SUV) from VW has an almost impossibly high mountain to climb.
Like its desert-tribe namesake though, the Touareg swings things in its favour by being immensely competent.
It looks thoroughly modern thanks to a longer, lower and wider profile teamed with better lines; and it's tough without bordering on obesity. And while it's got even more space than before, it loses more than 200kg thanks to a crash diet of lightweight materials.
That transforms the Touareg from your typical road-whale SUV into something that lives up to the "sport" tag. It's still a two-tonne, high-roller, but plentiful grip and accurate steering offset the excessive leaning in corners.
Powering it is a revised version of the same 3.6-litre V6 engine from before - with 280bhp. It's not particularly stirring or refined, but matched with the excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox, it enables the Touareg to be a remarkably quick sprinter. And after slimming down, fuel efficiency has been improved by a whopping 20 per cent at a quoted 9.6kml.
Nature lovers will also enjoy the fact that the all-wheel drive system has been tweaked - the car is ready for non-tarmac excursions with a simple twist of a knob. The interior is large - cargo capacity varies from 580 to 1642 litres - but the real eye-opener is how well appointed and elegantly built the cabin is.
Our test car came with a fetching mocha brown colour scheme inside, and nifty features such as a navigation/infotainment system, panoramic sunroof, automatic seat folders in the back and xenon headlights.
An extremely useful "area view" camera parking system is optional, but you will find it essential, given the high-rise sills and dash of the cabin, which makes the car feel big to drive.
The other downside is that the front seats are also uncomfortable, making you hunch inexplicably. Still, VW is serious about the Touareg competing with other premium SUVs. With the all-round improvements, it looks like a shoo-in to replicate the success of the original.
