I love the VW UP but i really feel like VW have been taking the mick for the last 5+ years with premium prices for cars that feel entry level on the inside.
Same as Mercedes tbh
I am so fed up with all the car manufactures giving us what suits them and not what “we” want. I do not want everything on a touch screen. It’s dangerous fiddling about while driving.
👍
Thanks for the review. I have ordered 5 just now.
Its a Vanilla Ice cream with a Truffle Price 😂
It would be good if you also mentioned whether this car or other cars have or do not have heated radar and safety systems, like you did with the heated sprinkler system.
The name always makes me smile. It's named after the nomadic tribe that lives in the Sahara, but Touareg in Arabic means Godforsaken.
Why, even with a digital dashboard, are the Speedo markings at 20, 40, 60, 80 etc instead of 10, 30, 50, 70 to align with UK limits? This really infuriates me. Also the car, like so many, is simply too wide for UK roads, parking spaces and garages (I must be one of a few who still uses my garage to park my car in)
yes, interesting isn't it. Germany has a fundamental challenge with software which means they're seriously under-represented in global developments. It's due to a continuing dominance of "engineering", where 20,40,60 sounds more logical to someone who's frankly clueless about usability but doesn't know it. Plus German management think they can manage the software development without ever looking at the product.
Because most of the world uses metric.
most roads will be 20 in the next few years, so 20,40,60 makes sense
Well, you can change that in the settings 🤷🏾♂️
@@mandlachonco2823 Really? If true, it's something new for the 2024 software as you've not been able to do this previously on VW cars
Considering the Q7 came out in 2015, and you can pick up a 3 year old one for £35K on AT (and get 7 seats) I’m not sure really what a 70+ grand VW based on a 9-10 year old platform, is targeted at? And like all German brands this obsession with haptic, piano black, fake exhausts and touchscreens is mildly annoying. Not for me I am afraid….good review though, covers the bases for a buyer.
On the subject of a sprint at a roundabout, an essential if you live in the Chichester West Sussex area, does the vehicle not have a Sport function on the auto box. I have a VAG vehicle and I use the Sport function on a daily basis and it gives the performance of a GTI. regards Crawford
Tnx for the review. I've ordered mine two months ago.
Is it also dedly slow as Tiguan? Latest Passat and Tiguan is terreble in benzin engines.
I always enjoy what car reviews, however I am often frustrated by the lack of numbers. How far will this car go on battery power if you buy the hybrid? How long is the car, especially for a big beast like this. It may not mean too much, but what is the boot capacity? And most importantly, you don’t actually mention the price on the video. Apologies if it comes up on the screen, but I am totally blind so wouldn’t be able to hear it. I’m debating whether to buy a big posh SUV like this, or just to buy a Kodiak. I’d save myself a big chunk of change, and how much would I actually gain in terms of boot space from the Guide Dogs and so on.
£68000 aint a bargain for any car. Anyone living and driving in a city centre really doesn't need a car of this size. Piece of nonsense.
£70K for a VW SUV? I must be getting old because that seems like an awful lot for an average car.
The reviewer reminds me of what Prince William would look like, with hair ! He’s very good though and everything is clear and simple enough, without copying anyone else 👍£70,000 though ; that’s £25,000 too much. Ridiculous actually!
Love my 2020 Touareg, I will need to replace eventually however with minimal changes on the new face lift I don’t need to be in a rush!😊
Bruh, it’s good for 10 more years. Just keep up the maintenance and you’re good.
68 foukin thousand poundizzles... This thing used to start in high 30's not so long ago.
Here in the Netherlands the starter price is at €89.999.. price is quite steep.
If VWs design brief was to produce a car with zero memorable features, job done I reckon. I can't think of a single reason I would choose this at 70k over competitors like the new Hyundai Santa Fe for example, which even in Ultimate trim manages to come in at 15K less as well as offering three rows of seats and a really interesting design. I don't know what's happened at VW over the past few years as creativity, ergonomics and usability seem to have left the building. If I want a large car with piano black tirm and dodgy software, I am pretty sure I don't have to pay £70k to get one. Great review though as always 😁
1. Looks like a very average SUV with an outdated exterior - more Hyundai Tuscon vibes. Everyone else is stepping up their game. 2. It's so expensive. Who on earth is getting this over other competitors?
VW discontinued it in the states
is it reliable as 3.0 tdi ?
Don’t like the wheels on this test car
Another great video, love that VW keep Tuareg a Tuareg 😊😊❤
Will it be ever launched in India?
I used to have a Toureg and was always disappointed with the lack of quality, for such an expensive vehicle.
Saw one of these the other day - it was huge!
‘Rubbish!’ Haha…what a spontaneous reaction!
Good review as always. 👏
The Touareg seems good looking but too expensive for what it is. There's better options out there.
For nearly £70k why would I get this instead of BMW or Audi
Why not petrol
That's amazing!
love love love thi is car
In my opinion, I’d find it a more tempting buy if it had 7 seats!
other than the climate controls I’d happily spend £40k on an 18 month old toerag petrol. Wouldn’t pay seventy grand for a new one. Because it doesn’t stand out is why I have always liked them to the normal chav wagon.
If it was 7 seater like all space I'll get
00:40 They actually made it look cheaper 🤨
The new Qashqai is a much better value for money SUV. Top of the range Tekna + has everything the VW has and more. Obviously not as big or as powerful, but a great little SUV for half the price of the basic model. If you don’t need to tow a big caravan, it is more than adequate and luxurious.
Every Touareg I've owned (which is why I never will have another one) has had the same problem. Rain runs down the drainage system from the roof and then it collects in the nearside passenger footwell. No problem eh? Erm.....underneath the passenger footwell are all the main ECU's! Cost me thousands to put right. Never again. Love the truck, I hate the design. A 4x4 which gets damaged with rain water!! That V6 diesel is amazing.......stereo....fab! The bills.........for fixing it when it goes wrong are mortgage material. If I'm lying....VW UK......loan me one for a years test.
A ...luxury SUV with so much cheap plastic?
This is the Germans try to full us worse than Diesel-gate!
VW is luxury ?
The scary thing is…. I have a Tesla and a VW…. And the Tesla feels more premium (which is saying something as Tesla’s are not renown for their “premium” feel
@@aerox69x I've tested Tesla Y and can't be compared to Touareg (cheap 'leather', wrongly put stitches on the steering wheel and so on - a friend of mine has model Y with panel gaps, squeaky plastic and he waited 3 months for spare parts after the accident so he was w/o the vehicle for 10 weeks).
@@RomanVerhovsek not comparing it to a Touareg (they not in the same class) but if you look at the Golf, Tiguan, id4 and id3 and they are all worse. Our Tiguan has been in twice for issues (locking system , sensor, rear view wiper)the Tesla has had no issues and only the vac filter needed replacing having done 3 times the mileage
If any small SUV could be considered to be like a cheaper Bentley, it's the Genesis GV70. It certainly _IS NOT_ a VW Touareg!
haha except this really IS a Bentley underneath the cheap plastic, while the Genesis is a Hyundai with softer plastic
@@sssssneaker Point taken 8-))...
Burying climate control in a touchscreen is just as bad as not having a spare wheel. That just makes a car not worth buying.
Seems a lot of cash for a dull SUV.
Zee Germans are losing zee plot.
TO MUCH MONEY
£68k for a VW? The world has gone mad
It is under 65K€ in Sweden.
Who is watching this video in 2021
Buy that over a Volvo, u want you’re head examined.
It's a bargain Lamborghini Urus
No V8 can’t be a cut price urus
Looks really nice from exterior but the interior looks awful and dated
