Volkswagen has revealed the new Touareg, which receives updates to both the front and rear fascias, as well as an interior refresh that includes new seats and a new high-zoot sound system.

Up front, the Touareg adopts the current VW corporate look, getting Eos-style headlights and the chrome grille that's now trickling across the entire model range. The intakes in the corners of the bumper are now bissected by metallic strips, which add a nice bit of extra flash. Round foglights are integrated in the lower part of the bumper, and the hood and front fenders are also new for 2007. In back, the taillights, bumper, rear spoiler and exhaust have all been revised.

On the technical side, the Touareg now receives ABSPlus and enhanced ESP (including new features such as Active Rollover Protection). The engine lineup (for Europe) includes two gasoline and two diesel powerplants, headlined by the mighty 5.0L V10 TDI.

These visual updates are an example of taking a good thing and making it even better, as the new Touareg looks very sharp to these eyes. It will be on display for all to see at its debut in Paris next week.
