The upcoming VW Touareg will share its platform with the next Q7 and Porsche Cayenne. The new model will be lighter than the current vehicle, so that it would result in better engine performance, handling, reduced fuel consumption and fewer emissions. Rumors of the full-size SUV weighing around 5,100 pounds can be trusted, confirmations are expected in the very near future.

The price of the VW Touareg is expected to be lesser than the current version which comes in at around $40,000. The car will go on sale late 2010 or 2011, around the same time when the Porsche Cayenne is expected.
