2005 Volkswagen Touareg Review

The Touareg's standard V6 engine goes from 220 hp to 240 hp. The optional navigation system will change from CD-based to DVD-based later in the model year. The formerly standard tire-pressure monitoring system is now optional, and satellite radio is available across the board. A self-dimming rearview mirror debuts this year, along with newly styled 18-inch alloy wheels.

An enticing blend of the pavement-dwelling crossover and the rugged off-roader swathed in Volkswagen style.
