 2011 Volkswagen Touareg Yesterday, we were able to confirm that Volkswagen will make a three-row SUV and that it will be sold and manufactured in the U.S. Today, we can tell you that Volkswagen will launch a three-row SUV concept at the Detroit auto show in January. Our sources familiar with the project confirm the concept's Detroit debut, corroborating a report from Autoweek. The concept—predictably—will preview the upcoming three-row SUV that will slot in between the Tiguan and the Touareg models in Volkswagen's lineup. Technologically, it will be based on the new MQB platform, which is an evolution of the Tiguan's PQ35/46 platform and underpins the new Golf. Although the new SUV will split VW's sport-ute lineup, monetarily, it will fall closer to the Tiguan's $23,820 point of entry than it will the Touareg's sticker price of $44,300.
Volkswagen's next SUV probably will be built alongside the Passat in Volkswagen's Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant, but other production sites still are being considered. The new SUV likely will come to market as a 2016 model year; the first units will roll off the production line in late 2015, with production fully ramping up in 2016.
