We have official confirmation that Volkswagen will be bringing back the “Touareg” name. The new vehicle will be called the VW ID. Touareg, an all-electric SUV set to use Volkswagen’s new SSP electric platform. Its official release is slated for 2029.

As VW’s flagship SUV, the Touareg has evolved through three generations over nearly 25 years. Each generation has shared a platform with the Porsche Cayenne. While the upcoming all-electric Porsche Cayenne will use the PPE platform—the same as the electric Macan, Audi A6 e-tron, and Q6 e-tron—the electric Touareg’s later 2029 launch allows it to skip directly to VW’s next-generation SSP architecture. Vehicles based on the SSP platform will reportedly use a zone-based architecture and software developed by Rivian.

Volkswagen has also confirmed it will use the Polo name for the electric hatchback previously known as the ID.2. The company also announced that the ID. Golf, ID. Tiguan, and ID. ROC are in development. Originally, the VW ID. ROC was scheduled to be the first vehicle on the SSP platform. However, reports say that both the ID. ROC and the ID. Golf have been pushed back to a 2030 release. This makes the ID. Touareg the first in line to use the new SSP platform.

The Future of Electric SUVs

The news of the VW ID. Touareg’s platform choice is significant. It signals Volkswagen’s commitment to building a new generation of EVs with a more advanced, unified architecture. The SSP platform is a crucial step for Volkswagen, promising enhanced integration and performance for its future electric lineup.

This strategic move shows how quickly the electric vehicle market is evolving. While the ID. Touareg is still a few years away, its development is a sign of what’s to come—electric cars with advanced, purpose-built platforms designed for the future.
