Where is the Volkswagen Touareg manufactured?

So my German cousin Inga is visiting us in California. She’s from Wolfsburg, Germany, which happens to be the global headquarters of Volkswagen. She works at VW, as does her brother, as did her parents—now retired at their alpine cabin in Garmisch-Partenkirchen—and as did her grandparents (we don’t talk about them for obvious reasons). Anyways, I casually mentioned that I was surprised the VW Touareg was built outside of Germany, and Inga hit the roof, incensed that I would insinuate that such a proud company would outsource manufacturing. I figured she would have known this. That said, I wanted to ask Jerry to be certain. Where is the Volkswagen Touareg manufactured?

Here’s hoping Inga isn’t reading this response over your shoulder—you’re right, the Touareg is indeed built outside of Germany.
The Volkswagen Touareg is manufactured at Volkswagen’s Bratislava Plant in Bratislava, Slovakia. VW has manufactured the Touareg at its Bratislava plant since 2002.
The Touareg, a three-row SUV that seats seven, is produced alongside a number of models and brands owned by the VW Group, Volkswagen’s parent company. Since it shares its SUV platform with numerous other luxury vehicles, the Touareg is produced in the same facility as the
Audi Q7
,
Audi Q8
,
Porsche Cayenne
, and Bentley Bentayga.
The Touareg isn’t sold in North America anymore. It was pulled from the U.S. and Canada after the 2017 model year due to slow sales. But it is still sold in other parts of the world, with big markets in Europe and China. It was replaced in North America by the
