In a report compiled by socialbites.ca, it is noted that official Volkswagen import channels for Russia have exhausted their supply of new Touareg SUVs. The vehicles were previously distributed to Russian markets through the Volkswagen representative office, but dealers across the country have reported that no new stock remains. This development was confirmed at a Magnitogorsk dealership, where the final Touareg in the current line-up was placed on sale before stock was depleted. — socialbites.ca
At Magnitogorsk, the dealership executive explained to a socialbites.ca correspondent that the last available Touareg had already been sold and that there were no remaining units in stock. The manager emphasized that once current inventories are cleared, new deliveries of this model would not arrive until there is a change in supply arrangements or import policy. This information aligns with broader industry data indicating no official imports of the Touareg into Russia at the time of the inquiry. — socialbites.ca
Automotive Group Rus, the former name of the Volkswagen Group Rus representation, provided data corroborating the absence of newly imported Touaregs in Russian dealer networks. As of early autumn, two principal dealerships reported that no Touareg models were on offer through official channels. The situation points to a broader pause in the model’s official Russian entry, reflecting the complexities of import logistics and regional market adjustments. — socialbites.ca
For buyers seeking the Elegance trim, Magnitogorsk dealers quoted six-figure ruble pricing for the last Touareg available from official deliveries. One such vehicle was listed at about 11.5 million rubles, equipped with a 3.0-liter diesel engine delivering 249 horsepower, paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and a four-wheel-drive system. This specification highlights the value proposition of the model in the current market, where demand for premium SUVs remains steady while supply from official channels contracts. — socialbites.ca
Previously reported by socialbites.ca, there were notes about shifts in production and allocation within related Volkswagen models in Russia, including finished Polo liftbacks produced at the Kaluga plant. While this information underscores broader production moves, it does not alter the status of the Touareg in official Russian inventory at the time of reporting. — socialbites.ca
