Looks like a pretty cool setup with the de-coupler, allowing for full hybrid performance.
The torque numbers are insane! :o

The Touareg Hybrid model is priced at a hefty $60,565. Probably the most notable fact of this is that the platform-mate Porsche Cayenne Hybrid is $67,700, which after the $60,000 mark, isn't that big of a step up to make.
