2019 VW Touareg goes all in on cabin tech

Its most interesting innovation blends a 12-inch gauge display with a 15-inch infotainment screen to form a Screen Voltron.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

The Touareg looks more Audi-like than ever before, with angular headlights, sharp creases on every panel and a rear-end profile that's more than a little Q7.

But it ties together with other modern VWs thanks to the integration of its headlights with the company grille.

It's a bit wider and longer than before, but aluminum helps keep the curb weight about 220 pounds lower than before.

The Innovision Cockpit system merges the 12-inch gauge display and the top-tier, 15-inch infotainment screen.

There's a head-up display, too, in case that isn't enough screen for you.

There's a night-vision camera in the mix, in addition to a lane-keep assist system that'll work in roadwork areas, a front-facing cross-traffic assist system and four-wheel steering.
