Volkswagen has been making the Touareg for two decades and is preparing a mid-cycle update for the third-generation model. Following an official preview last week, a batch of speculative renders attempts to peel off the camouflage to reveal the production-ready design cues. Although it'll only be a facelift, some significant changes are planned at the front and rear where light bars will be installed to modernize the midsize SUV's exterior.
It'll be the company's first model sold in Europe with an illuminated badge as the Touareg will have a bright red VW logo on the tailgate. At the front, it's getting IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights with a whopping 19,200 micro-LEDs for each cluster. Subtle changes to both bumpers are also planned, but nothing to write home about. To spice things up, there might be some new wheel designs and fresh paint colors.
