Updated and face-lifted versions of the Volkswagen Touareg 4x4 go on sale in March, with price rises of between £400 and £985.

There's a new grille, the front lights and bumper are also remodelled, and more aerodynamic door mirrors are fitted.

There are new rear lights and bumper too, and the cabin has a new instrument panel and new front seats.

Anti-lock brakes are now more powerful, while a system called Side Scan warns if there's something lurking in the car's blind spot.

The cheapest 2.5-litre diesel will have the biggest £865 to £985 increase in price, with entry-level models now costing £29,465, SE versions £32,850 and Altitude cars £34,630.

The remainder of the range increases by £400 to £515, from £32,225 for the 3.0-litre diesel to £57,535 for the 5.0-litre V10 diesel Altitude range-topper.
