VW Touareg Lease Deal

Just as I’d given up hope I got this from VW dealer, I’ll probably go for it and get rid of the 840 as timing works well and I don’t fancy driving another winter with it. Not sure about the moonlight metallic on the Touareg but should look ok

‘I’ve found a Touareg Black Edition in Moonlight Blue Metallic which is confirmed for production and due to arrive with us approx August/September, I just wanted to let you know in case you’d like to swap to that rather than the Silicon Grey? The scheduled build date on your original order is now showing as April next year!!’

What colour is your 8 series? Moonlight Blue reminds me of Carbon Black on my 840.

Here is the best video I can find of the colour.

my thoughts exactly but I don’t think it’s as inky blue black as the carbon which looks fantastic on the 8 - I have Dravet which I love but perhaps this will make a nice change rather than another grey variant - we’ll see

Are you taking the blue then mate?

Yep just had confirmation they’ve swapped the order over and production starts this week….. it wouldn’t have been my first choice but given there are so few available lease options out there and build times keep moving I’m going for it. It feels like it will be a long time before any decent deals come back on the market if at all :-(

I think it will look nice. Almost black in dull light but have a pop when in the sun. What was your deal?

[Benito88]

9 + 35 @ 10k miles £530 ish … a half decent deal given what they’re asking currently - just nothing else out there to consider atm that’s either reasonably priced or available in under a year :-(

Similar to mine. Alot dearer than our current one 9+35 10k miles 551 Inc extended int lighting and aqua marine blue.

[Benito88]

Yep… the days of the super bargain lease deal are over irrelevant to compare as times have unfortunately changed for the foreseeable - the same deal I have in the space of a few months is circa plus £200 pm best !!

‘Multifunction front facing camera for distance control’

Is there no rear view camera or is it a surround system ?

Yeah its both. So when you move into reverse you get half the screen as the rear view camera and half the 360 overhead view. Quite impressive to be fair.

[Benito88]

Thanks! I was hoping it was a decent system - seems a well specified car as standard - how do you rate the entertainment versus the HK in the 8 ?

The stereo obviously isn't as good but for a standard system it's decent. You can code in the Dynaudio sound profile which makes it sound better but without a sub it still lacks that bottom end punch.

The optional Dynaudio on these is way better than the HK in the 8.

The back would make sense - Arteon style lights and exhaust. The front seems very aggressive on those images. If that is real it will be the R hybrid. Go back and page and you will see the more regular front.
Looking at a Tiguan R Line and the Tiguan R is a good indicator.
Inside the 15 inch screen will become standard and the graphics will get a reskin. Can't imagine much else will change. Prices going up a couple of grand.

I’m more interested if they are delaying the build on our cars as we all got decent lease deals - thinking we will cancel the orders as we tire of waiting.
Meanwhile they allocate the build slots to more lucrative models /deals / customers.
Who knows - VW have got massive form when it comes to corporate shenanigans……..

Current old ? BE is now £68680 on the configurator - Available Colours changed - looks like the refresh will be plus 70k ish to start and possibly no diesel :-(

Colours have changed and your right on the price but what makes you say no diesel?

I would strongly suspect dealer pcp customers are prioritised over broker lease customers for sure.

As quoted by dsuk above - inevitable I guess

The 2024 Volkswagen Touareg has been spied testing for the very first time with minor cosmetic changes. In addition, the crossover will receive subtle upgrades to its cabin and its 3.0L turbocharged V6 diesel engine could be dropped due to tighter emission regulations. #Touareg
