      The previous gen Passat from 2015-2019 is in my opinion in the top 10 most beautiful exterior sedan designs to have ever been created...

    Great driving with interesting technology discussions, and driving commentary - as usual with Thomas. Distractions? The 'cruise control' control - "Driving me nuts!" - yes. And the big central display seems quite distracting too. I like that the Touareg R occupies the comfort niche versus Cayenne/SQ7. Nice car, not that I would go for this type of big car! Thanks, Autogefuhl Team.

    Why is are the brake calipers not blue? Anyway, I can't deal with the asymmetrical dash. Yes, OCD. I also notice they have the rear wiper at the bottom. Many manufactures have re-positioned them to the top, out of sight, under the the spoiler.
    Also, no cover over the cup-holders, not very upscale for a vehicle at this level. I do think the black version is handsome.

      Audi is sort of the most boring looking of the German luxury car brands, but what they do is austerity done well. VW is the down-market extension of that philosophy. Some car brands are more extravagant and artistic, others are simpler. I think VWs are not overt at all, but they do covert VERY well. That piano black is not going to hold up well though, a lot of people are going to get that stuff wrapped.

    Really good looking but honestly for these prices you might as well get an Mercedes SUV or Audi Q7

    I’m late to this video, but if you see this please communicate to the VW Group how disappointing it is that this vehicle is no longer in the States.

      Sadly, VW took the Touareg out of the north American market a few years ago. Was too expensive and they weren't selling enough of them here to justify it (plus, if you're going to pay upwards of $50-$60k for a German SUV, you're going to get a BMW or Audi, not a VW). That's how we ended up with the Atlas, which I agree is 😴😴😴

    Just a pity that this Touareg PHEV would be judged as the "green washing" plug-ins. Like many other executive German cars (and other countries or origin).
    It's a convenient solution to have one big electric motor and Dualclutch transmissions replace the torque converter in the transmission - but these kind of hybrids are *not* more efficient with a flat battery charge.
    The dynamism of a 1 motor hybrid with a limited (hybrid mode) battery is ... limited. The engine acting as the major power source has to juggle with the motor briefly assisting, force-charging or regen charging as it slows down. Honda faced this limitation in their entire IMA hybrid engines, but those cars were also very light for their power.
    I'd say if there wasn't this alienation of "CVT" hybrids like the Prius, hybrids that can generate and spend electricity dynamically with engine output - then we would have more efficient and interesting cars that won't be called as cheaters in real world emissions drivings - because if the driver is not costumed to drive their car, they will waste the opportunity and fuel to "drive it like a normal car".
