The Volkswagen Touareg Facelift has started its tests to implement a package of improvements in the second part of its commercial life. Two prototypes of the flagship of the German brand have been surprised in spy photos in the Alps, with a simple but accurate camouflage that hides the new image that the largest SUV will wear in 2023.
It must be recognized that Volkswagen works camouflages practically like no other brand. Our displaced in the Alps have hunted down a couple of prototypes of the Volkswagen Touareg Facelift 2023, which has already started its testing program to offer a package of improvements, and not just aesthetic ones, at the end of next year. The flagship of the Volkswagen range is already touching the middle of its commercial cycle in the market.
And, once again, on the roads of this mountainous region of the Alps, we have come across two test units that have been hunted in spy photos. Both present the usual camouflage of the brand, some adhesive strips that hide the changes implemented in the frontal aesthetics, resembling the image of the current model.

Also, the grille has also been narrowed, and no longer rests as much on the bumper as in the current model. Volkswagen has also hidden the new air intakes in the front bumper with vinyl, now also more similar to those of the younger brother. At the rear, there are no changes for now, so at a later stage and with more advanced development, we hope improvements in some pilots that will not change their shape but their luminous graphics.
The Touareg will also offer improvements in the chassis section, improving the feel of the brakes and steering, reconfiguring the selection modes of the air suspension, while you will receive driving assistants with more precise operation. Inside, you will also receive updates, revising the infotainment platform, with new functions, as well as better quality materials.

The German firm does not plan to increase the performance and power specifications of the different versions, which will offer improvements to increase efficiency, reduce consumption and emissions. 48-Volt MHEV technology will make an appearance in this 2023 TouaregLike the “eHybrid” version, it will also have a larger capacity battery. increasing the maximum autonomy above 60 kilometers.
