Context
Why does this story matter?
The Volkswagen Touareg EDITION 20 celebrates the 20th anniversary of the Touareg model. It is visually more impressive, offers better equipment, and packs more powerful engines in comparison to the standard model. It is unclear whether the four-wheeler will be introduced on our shores in the near future. Provided it does, the rivalry in the market will be raised.
