Just in case we weren"t already spoilt for large luxury SUVs, VW has added another. This time its new flagship the third-generation Touareg based round the same aluminium and steel modular architecture and box of bits as the Bentley Bentayga, Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. This bodes well. Smart, isn"t it? Albeit in the slightly humourless, starched-collar way all modern VWs are. But the design"s not entirely without talking points just look at the way the new IQ Light LED matrix headlights blend into one with the grille. Yep, that"s a first. Then there"s the way the crease above the door handles flares over the rear wheel arch nice touch. But the real advances are inside. That"s where you find the new fully digitised Innovision Cockpit", or as you and I would call it two enormous screens stitched together to look like one big one, with a notable absence of buttons. Nevertheless, VW is proud of the way the 12-inch digital instrument panel flows neatly into the 15-inch central screen, and it does look thoroughly modern, minimalist and has the tech artillery to back it up.
