Volkswagen has announced the addition of two new trim levels for its Touareg range, offering SE and SE Sport versions of its luxury off-roader.

The SE and SE Sport models include the standard specification of the 2.5 TDI and 2.5 TDI Sport models, but with the following extra items: ‘Cricket’ leather upholstery, including heated front seats and heated windscreen washer jets and a Navigation/radio system with 7-inch colour screen, including a six-disc CD autochanger.

VW says this represents £2,945 of additional spec for an increase of £1000 value for only £1,000 (both prices RRP) over the equivalent 2.5 TDI and 2.5 TDI Sport models. On top of this, the new models feature standard Touareg specification, such as: 2Zone climate control; 17-inch alloy wheels (18-inch on the Sport models); multifunction computer; electric windows and mirrors; and a multifunction steering wheel with cruise control.

The new trim levels are offered with the 2.5 TDI engine, which produces 295 lbs ft of torque, at an engine speed of 2,000 rpm.

The Touareg SE and SE Sport are available to order now.
