Luxury cars are most affected by depreciation, and although Volkswagen isn’t a full-fledged high-end brand like the Touareg, it does have premium aspirations. You might expect to pay less for an SUV seven years old, but this is not the case in 2022.

VW sold a V8 TDI Touareg in the Old Continent for a time to be the last passenger car with an eight-cylinder engine.
The torquetastic Touareg shares a twin-turbo, 4.0-liter engine that produces 416 horsepower and 664 lb/ft (900 Nm) respectively. You can run it from 0 to 60 mph (100 km/h), in just 4.9 seconds, and reach a maximum electronically controlled speed of 155 MPH (250 km/h).
The Touareg’s versatile engine lineup has been around since its inception 20 years ago. It includes everything from the W12 and VR6 gasoline engines to the powerful V10 diesel.
