Here's the Volkswagen Touareg's new look, uncovered just before its unveiling at the Paris motor show.

The most significant changes are up front. VW looks to have swiped the facelifted BMW 7-series headlamps to bring the understated Touareg more in line with the Eos coupe-cabrio and facelifted Touran. A new grille and front bumper complete the look. The engine line-up is expected to be carried over. That means a 3.6 V6 petrol and 2.5, 3.0 and 5.0 V10 TDI diesels in the UK. The cabin hasn't changed much, although some Touaregs will have a flip-up infotainment system embedded in the dashtop. Expect new materials and colour schemes, when the Touareg rolls into the UK around the turn of the year.
