Among the 6 E-SUV plug-in hybrid, the Touareg R combines two vehicles in one: an electric sedan for urban use, a petrol tourer for long distances. Caralogy puts the Touareg R through its paces: motorway simulation, consumption simulation and performance simulation.
Caralogy Analysis

Caralogy Verdict
Suitable for
Demanding drivers: 2nd of 6 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s). 2nd of 6 in 0–100 km/h (3.9 s).
Less suitable for
Regular long motorway trips. Beyond the 46 km EV range, the car runs on pure combustion. On trips >300 km weekly, a BEV or HEV would be more relevant.
Alternatives to consider
If the priority is Electric WLTP range, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (1st with 51 km) takes the lead. If the priority is Combined range, the Bmw X5 xDrive45e (1st with 730 km) takes the lead.
In the city: 46 km pure electric
With a full battery, the Touareg R drives in pure electric mode for the first 46 km WLTP - placing it Electric WLTP range, behind the Jeep Grand Cherokee 4xe (51 km). In urban and peri-urban use, the Touareg R behaves like a pure electric sedan in its segment.
