If the 'Chrome & Style' package has been ordered, there follows at the next level a chrome strip and a bumper zone painted in the vehicle body colour. Stylistically they form the outer bottom ends of the aforementioned 'A'. Arranged below this are the likewise redesigned fog lights. This makes the Touareg look even more sturdy on the road. The bottom section of the bumper with its completely new look fits well into this image: very much as on the new Passat the bottom air intake, complete with decorative grille, now forms a broad, stylised 'A' instead of a 'V' on its immediate left and right are the side air intakes in trapezoid form. As a result the new Touareg looks appreciably wider. In contrast to its predecessor, the grille is embellished by four rather than two chrome slats and extends, as do the headlights as well, further down into the bumper, which is now horizontally divided even more strongly than before. The trapezoid-shaped light fittings form a line towards the centre of the vehicle with the restyled radiator grille, which incorporates the VW emblem (3D design). A bi-xenon version (35 W) with LED daytime running lights and dynamic cornering lights is available as an option.

These are bi-xenon headlights (25 W) as standard on all versions. Particularly striking elements are the now larger headlights. The design of the front of the Touareg has been completely reworked.

The front section in particular, with its remodelled band of radiator grille and headlights, creates a first link to the Volkswagen SUV concept cars of recent times. It has now been further developed in accordance with the layout of the Volkswagen design DNA, which calls for very clear and precise lines with strong horizontal division of both front and rear sections. The Touareg now being presented is based on that generation. The completely redeveloped second generation of the Touareg was launched in the middle of 2010.
