Volkswagen Korea Launches 2021 Touareg... Prices Starting at 83.9 Million KRW
2D Design New Logo and Font Application
[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Ji-hee] Volkswagen Korea launched the 2021 model year Touareg with improved product features on the 16th.
The third-generation new Touareg is a model that quickly rose to the 'Top 3' imported luxury sport utility vehicles (SUVs) immediately after its launch in February, boasting reasonable pricing and product appeal. With this model year update, new changes have been added to the exterior. Starting with the 2021 Touareg, the front radiator grille, trunk, and wheel emblems all feature a simplified new logo and font in 2D design.
The interior has also been upgraded. The steering wheel has been changed to a touch interface, and a new emblem is applied to the center of the steering wheel. Additionally, an ADAS overview button has been added to all trims, allowing users to check and control ADAS functions at a glance. Paddle shifters have been added to the Premium and Prestige models, while the R-Line model features a perforated handle design that adds a sporty feel.
The 2021 Touareg is offered in three models (Premium, Prestige, R-Line), all equipped with a 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine. It delivers a maximum output of 286 horsepower and a peak torque of 61.2 kg·m. The time to accelerate from a standstill to 100 km/h is 6.1 seconds, with a top speed of 235 km/h. The official fuel efficiency is 10.3 km/l.
The 2021 Touareg is priced at 83.9 million KRW for the 3.0 TDI Premium, 89.9 million KRW for the 3.0 TDI Prestige, and 97.9 million KRW for the 3.0 TDI R-Line. Reflecting the current excise tax reduction, the purchase prices are 82.756 million KRW, 88.649 million KRW, and 96.595 million KRW respectively.
To commemorate the launch of the 2021 Touareg, Volkswagen Korea is also conducting a special year-end promotion. For the 2021 Touareg 3.0 TDI Premium, customers using Volkswagen Financial Services receive a 14% discount, and those paying in cash receive a 12% discount. Additionally, an extra 3 million KRW support is available through the vehicle return compensation program. If the promotion and vehicle return compensation program are used during December to purchase the 3.0 TDI Premium model, the 2021 Touareg can be owned for approximately 68 million KRW after reflecting the excise tax reduction.
