Volkswagen Touareg Final Edition bids farewell to a legend

The nameplate that elevated Volkswagen into the premium arena is drawing the curtains — the Touareg Final Edition is here as the last major chapter for this flagship SUV. 

Introduced in 2002 and now with over 1.2 million sales under its belt, the Touareg is entering its final bow with a model designed to celebrate its legacy while offering owners something truly special. 

Volkswagen announces that the internal-combustion version of the model will be available for orders only until the end of March 2026. Production then wraps up, bringing to a close the career of a vehicle that once shared underpinnings with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. Sad.

Design & Features: Subtle Statements of Exclusivity

Rather than completely reinventing the Touareg, the Final Edition enhances its presence with refined touches that signal both respect for its past and affirmation of its premium status.

Special touches include:

• “FINAL EDITION” lettering laser-engraved on the window surrounds of the rear doors. 
• Embossed leather gear selector and illuminated sill panels bearing the same caption. 
• Multi-colour ambient lighting standard on upper trims and the illuminated trim strip in the dashboard. 
• Price in Germany starts from €75,025, underscoring its premium positioning even as it concludes production. 

What is compelling here is that Volkswagen didn’t opt for over-the-top styling. The final edition retains the understated elegance that the Touareg has become known for — high-tech luxury without the flash of a supercar. In doing so it honours the SUV’s heritage, while giving buyers a last chance to own the model in its most refined form.

Production Outlook

Production of the current generation Touareg, the version with combustion engines, ends in 2026. The Final Edition spans all trim levels, meaning buyers can order it across the range. 

For the brand, this is a transition moment. The Touareg ends its run as Volkswagen shifts attention toward electric mobility and more broadly positioned SUVs. The Final Edition thus becomes both a farewell and a bridge to what comes next.
