VW charges up
The world's number one carmaker prepares to join to the electric car market. Oneshift drives some of the models that could be coming your way in 2013
While the Golf and Lavida blue-e-motion are a few years away from being sold in the showroom, you will be able to experience the VW's first foray into hybrid electric power with the all-new Touareg Hybrid that is only months away from its local launch.
While most hybrid cars to date are positioned as environmentally-friendly machines, the Touareg Hybrid is also capable of entertaining keener drivers who are looking for an alternative to the likes of the BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne.
Powered by a 333bhp supercharged 3.0-litre V6 that works in tandem with a powerful electric motor, the Touareg Hybrid makes a combined power output of 380bhp and a healthy 520Nm of torque. Not bad for a car that's also capable of returning 8.2-litres per 100km.
