The all-new Volkswagen Touareg has been unveiled in China for its world debut which is the German carmaker’s biggest marketplace.
The firm says the fully digital cockpit, which it calls the Innovision, is a great example of where the carmaker is going. The digital cockpit has a 12-inch display for the digital instruments and there’s a top end infotainment system to cater for all entertainment, communication and information purposes.
There are few conventional switches or buttons since the digital operating system does away with most of these.
