Yes. The Thule Hitching Post Pro - Folding Tilting 4 Bike Rack w Anti-Sway # TH934XTR and the Thule Apex XT 4 Bike Rack for 1-1/4" and 2" Hitches # TH9025XT are both compatible with your 2016 Volkswagen Touareg.

Since these bike carriers are hitch mounted, they are compatible with either a 1-1/4 inch or 2 inch hitch on almost any vehicle as long as there is enough clearance. You will not have a clearance issue with your vehicle, so either bike carrier will work great. The Vertex has some much nicer features like the arched arms for a little more clearance between the bikes and the integrated mounts. It also has a tilting feature for easy access to your cargo area.

With either bike carrier, I recommend the bike adapter bar like # 64005 for any step through frame bikes to allow you to carry them level and have greater ground clearance.
