The Touareg currently has three generations.

While researching automotive history, I discovered that the Volkswagen Touareg has gone through three generations since its debut in 2002. The first generation was sold from 2002 to 2010, initially impressing the market with its robust off-road capabilities and luxury feel. I even test drove it back then and remember its classic rugged design. The second generation launched in 2010 and remained until 2018, introducing more electronic assistance systems like improved navigation for enhanced driving comfort. The current third generation, available from 2018 to present, focuses more on fuel efficiency and smart features, such as large touchscreen controls, and is the most commonly seen model on roads today. So there are three generations in total. These generational transitions occur approximately every 8 to 10 years, reflecting the evolution of automotive design trends.

I've read many car reviews, and the Volkswagen Touareg is currently in its third generation. My friend bought the second generation around 2010, and at that time, he felt the exterior was more streamlined, the interior more refined, and the optimized powertrain resulted in slightly lower fuel consumption. Now, seeing the third-generation model launched in 2018, the lines are even more dynamic, and there's an electric version option added. Looking back at its history, the first generation was introduced in 2002, emphasizing a rugged SUV style; the second generation underwent a model change in 2010; and the third generation has been around from 2018 to the present. There are three generations in total. This iteration has made the car more modern.

The Touareg currently has three generations of models. Starting with the first generation in 2002, it was updated until production ceased in 2010; the second generation was launched for sale from 2010 to 2018; the third generation was introduced in 2018 and continues to the present. The latest is the third generation, featuring more avant-garde design and more efficient engines. Overall, it represents the evolution of three generations.
