Actually, Volkswagen's effort with the Hybrid doesn't make a very good argument for itself, as the Hybrid is not only much more expensive than the TDI but worse in Combined fuel economy. While we value the Hybrid as a stepping stone toward greater electrification, we'd advise shoppers to make the practical choice toward the TDI—especially if they plan to do more suburban or highway driving.
Conclusion
Base VR6 versions of the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg are still thirstier than most in its class, but in TDI or Hybrid form it's a lot greener.
