The company completes the 24-year history of Premium Touareg in 2026 and prepares to stop the release of ID.5 Electrocrospector in 2027.
Volkswagen is preparing to say goodbye to the two models at the same time: the flagship Touareg SUV and ID.5 electric crossover. According to Autocar, the mention of internal resources, Touareg’s production will end in 2026, and ID.5 will stop a year later.
Touareg, who debuted in 2002, was part of VW Ferdinanda Pozda’s ambitious ex-head plan to advance the brand in the premium segment. It was developed along with the first Porsche Cayenne on the same platform and symbolized Volkswagen’s desire to become a high player paired with Phaeton Sedan.
However, priorities have changed today. The new Tayron, represented in several markets, including the UK, has actually replaced Touareg. This SUV has a less premium but more universal character and is dedicated to a wider audience. Tayron is available in two and three-row adjustments, provides a traction capacity of up to 2500 kg (with a change of 2.0 TSI 4motion) and has a more flexible salon.
Touareg’s coagulation without a direct successor actually completed Volkswagen’s 23-year-old test to get a foothold in the premium segment.
Along with this, the company also rejected the ID model.5 – an integrated -joint version of ID.4 electric resolver, which appeared in the market in 2021. The model was focused primarily in China, but it would not achieve popularity. In the USA, ID.5 was not sold at all, and in Europe it lost in a more practical ID.4.
The end of ID.5 is scheduled for 2027 and part of a broader approach for reducing the model range to focus on mass segments.
We will remind you, earlier it was reported that Volkswagen 20 thousand employees had been deleted.
