Volkswagen Touareg 210TDI Wolfsburg Edition arrives in Australia in 2026

Volkswagen is giving the Touareg a little more runway in at least one market: in Australia, the flagship SUV will get a celebratory special, the Touareg 210TDI Wolfsburg Edition. While some countries are preparing to retire the model as early as the first quarter of 2026, Australians are promised deliveries of the new version from March 2026, which comes across as a graceful final flourish before the farewell.

The point of the Wolfsburg Edition isn’t new hardware but image and the sense of a high-spec trim as standard. References to Volkswagen’s home city are underscored by the wolf-and-castle emblem, and the exterior is easy to spot thanks to 21-inch black wheels, black roof rails, and darkened accents around the windows, grille, bumpers, and mirror caps. For those chasing rarer shades, there are paid paints: Meloe Blue (premium metallic) and the exclusive Oryx White (pearl).

Inside, the kit is properly upscale: a panoramic roof, heated outer rear seats, a Dynaudio audio system, a head-up display, four-zone climate control, soft-close doors, memory for the front passenger seat, and an electric steering column with driver memory. At the same time, Volkswagen signals that the Touareg is nearing the end of its lifecycle: across the 170 TDI, 210 TDI Elegance, and Touareg R, trim elements with Final Edition branding will appear, and the arrival of the Wolfsburg Edition effectively stands in for the 210 TDI R-Line in the range.

The Touareg has long been Volkswagen’s understated premium offer—free of showiness yet strong on engineering and mature comfort. The Wolfsburg Edition feels like the right full stop for the nameplate: if it has to bow out, doing so with a rich options list and a clear, recognizable look seems the right way.
