Although the Volkswagen Touareg shares a platform with the Porsche Cayenne, it offers a very different package compared to its German brother.
With four-wheel drive, a luxurious interior and a V6 diesel being its sole engine derivative, it is fair to say that the Touareg is aimed at those that want to traverse everything from city streets to countryside.
Watch our video review above as we take the 201bhp variant of the V6 diesel for a spin.
Can the Touareg really tackle models like the BMW X5? Watch our video review above to find out, or skip to bits of key information using the links below:

One of the best cars on the road at the moment
I love the VW Touareg more than other cars!
I am not an SUV person, but when I recently went to a Porsche dealer, I was surprised at just how much the Cayenne appealed to me, but then there's the price. This new Touareg seems to offer most of what the diesel Cayenne offers at a significantly reduced price. Of course, in that context the 262 bhp version of the diesel Touareg would be the one to go for. I used to be a luxury coupe person, but as I've got older I've gravitated towards luxury sports saloons and four door coupes, but as I said, the Cayenne really impressed at the Porsche dealer, when I really went to check out the new Macan, but really thought the Panamera was the Porsche for me (and still do, but the Cayenne surprisingly still pulls me towards it, and my wife loves it). The Macan was just too small in the back; as far as I'm concerned the back in that car is only suitable for small kids. My wife is small and she was cramped in the back behind my driving position. Anyway, I think the new Touareg may well find its way onto my driveway, albeit my wife's side.

I could be wrong but I think Porsche and Audi share the same platform as the Touareg.
I have a Land Rover Discovery and I am thinking of replacing it with one of these. The Cayenne is a beautiful vehicle but I am sure that the Touareg is just as good off road but cheaper.
bighands69 You are right about the shared platform. I think you will find the Touareg the closest to your Disco in terms of comfort. There is a comparative review somewhere between the Range Rover and the previous incarnation of the Cayenne. Surprisingly the Cayenne kept up with the Range Rover off road, at least on that particular course, which looked medium difficulty to me, but as I said I'm not really any kind of SUV (or off-roading) expert. Best of luck.

Lexus produces some amazing SUV's as well and Crossovers.
Nigel W just a small difference anything from land rover will fall apart @ 150 thou clicks
bighands69 unfortunately most of the Toyota/Lexus cars are very boring to drive
If you need 7 seats get a minivan. It's not a bus.
One of Best SUV ever,
I've always preferred the 1st gen over the 2nd for some reason when it came to over roading
Absolute steal now and VW almost giving them away. I just bought a brand new R line with 9k of extras reduced from list price of £54k to £37,500 by the time i had negotiated with the dealer! I can't think of a car which costs £38k which would even come close.
Can`t wait to get mine,all round sensible suv,without paying daft money
Great car. More understated than its rivals, but that's no bad thing. Lease deals are v. Competitive too. You don't spend 40k on this or any other car for that matter unless your mad. Lease things that depreciate (like cars), buy things that appreciate (like houses).
phil cambers Great car?I Will pray for you. You need not talk that way. It appears that a Ltd of VW people have issues. God bless
No need to pray for me. Unless this is some sort of religious thread I've accidently bumped into? Every car has "issues" but the new model Touareg isn't one of them that has any major known faults. Anyway each to their own, but I like my big 3.0 V6 lump.
The 7 seats are actually 90% of the time useless
Exactly - rarely if ever used. Especially if you have fitted child seats.
More like 99% of the time 😩
Great video, well done Andy
one of my fav cars - particularly RLine
I think the interior would be much more appealing if they ditched the glossy walnut dash and opted for a matte finish wood dash, or a sleeker-looking brushed aluminium one.
Also, there seems to be no cream leather options at the moment. All black leather can be a bit drab.
I have cream leather in my 2012
Very helpful, thank you!
Would love to know how to get 43mpg out of mine 😢
Bargain. Same engine, gearbox, brakes and chassis as cayenne 262. Speceed up a cayenne costs 70k to get it to same spec as a base touraeg r line. Drove both. Touraeg drove better as more relaxing. Same double wishbone suspension. Have my Porsche for the weekends for real driving!
Exactly - why have a 911 and a Porsche SUV?? Touareg far better value and does same work - which is why I bought it. 911 is the Porsche to have!
Great video
Love it
when you go on the road and driving 200km you will know whats the vw the small lexus that the same like camry is near to its price the touareq metal is heavy not like junk japan and korean cars
In my opinion still a fantastic car , shame about the emissions scandal that has surfaced but hey will still get one providing the common errors can be rectified.
Currently where I live prices have dropped substantially. Now more than ever the price is right.
well done car
whats the auto gearbox like not jerky round is it not keyless start
If the car was a Severn seater it would be cramped I bought it because it’s a very spacious car
i had a hard time understanding the reviewer.
He's a human mate i think
This or grand cherokee?
V.w Toureg over G Cherokee
is there a manual transmission on this model?..your reply is highly appreciated..
+fornidd met Only on the MK1 Touareg, otherwise its an 8 speed DSG automatic on this model.
8speed fully auto - not DSG - towing heavy stuff you don't want a DSG!
froont and rear boompers
Just had one to rent from enterprise and its so fucking small inside its unreal. Crap crap crap
LOL - compared to what? It may not be as big as some behemoths - but small inside? LOL
what kind of english is he speaking? barely understood
Newcastle/Yorkshire are it sounded like.
I'm not paying over 40k for a VW. At the end of the day its a VW
We need to clean roads from VW,these VW muck are spoiling our lives!
Fake news! LOL
40k for that... Havin a laugh..... VW overpriced and bland.

They are understated and the Touareg is very good off road. I have driven on extensively and think it is just as good as my Land Rover discovery off road.
You don't have to buy it. Go buy your flashy underperforming "other" SUV.
Obviously you have driven it.
