- This is the new Volkswagen Touareg! VW’s latest SUV is designed to go up against the Audi Q7 and BMW X5, but as a result it comes with a price tag to match. Starting at just under £50,000, it’s the most expensive VW on the market today! But with so much competition in the SUV market in 2019, does the Touareg offer good value for money? Join Mat for his latest in-depth review to find out!

I’ve done 8000 miles in my new Touareg with pretty much this spec. Very happy with it. Family of 5. All very comfortable and safe. I had 2 Audis before this and I don’t notice a drop in quality. Feels the same to drive. Brilliant V6 TDI 286hp engine.
Do you habe matrix lights? Do you think that they are worth it?
Had you any problems with the car?
sime simicevic sorry I don’t know what you mean by matrix lights
sime simicevic generally very happy with the car. Only issue was the sensors that feed the adaptive cruise controls stopped working. Now all ok 👍
Give us a job
He loves scratching the material
god I cringe like hell when he starts scratching plastic
Nobody ever does that on a car they actually own...
@@marcusskyfall i do.
It's something Mr Bean would do 😂
@@unhealthyburrito6589 Weirdo.
This over any other SUV - you see Q7s, X5s, Range Rovers etc everywhere whereas this sleek looking Touareg will be rare and more appreciated since it’s not the ‘obvious’ choice
I see This every second
Range rovers are better off road ! because they spend a lot of time "Off The Road" being fixed !
Thank you matt for this honest review. I understand that the first review was "promoted" but its this in-depth reviews that truly keep me subbed and supporting your channel!
Unpopular opinion but i like this better than the Audi Q5/Q7. I couldn't give a shit about the plastic interior bits that i will never touch
Right wing extreme
Exactly.
Your paying the same price for a lower quality vehicle lol guess you weren't taught how to value your moneys
@@paladin3116 Audi Q7 and Q5 looks like 90's car. It out dated, and i would trade some money and give sides leather for a car looks so awesome and can handel tough situations. Touareg is known with its durabiltiy as well.
Best practical while looking good at this range.
Am I the only one that thought this car was totally perfect ..
Nope
Just I too 😂😂😂😬😬😬I got disappointed
No, the Touareg is absolutely perfect. Sporty, reliable, rugged, offroad capable, not flashy but far from ugly, elegant yet strong. The list goes on
you are
It perfectly perfect
Who is watching in 2024?
Hey Mat
Your videos are absolutely amazing. Your humor is great and the bandwidth of the videos (from cheap to outrageously expensive) is great.
What I would still find cool, especially with the more expensive cars, is a night shot. Both from the outside (headlights and such), but also from the inside. For example, the new Volkswagen Touarg from the inside with ambient lighting looks breathtaking. Surely many of your followers would like to see this as well.
Just such an idea ! Keep up the good work

Great video. Finally a new in-depth review for Touareg. Have a great day, Mat.
You dont need to go to menu to set wipers to servis position. You just turn off the ignition and press the lever for wipers down, and the wipers go up and stay there:)
All VW cars have this
Adam Kohoutek exactly
Honestly I just watch carwow videos more for Mat than the cars sometimes lol
This car is pretty much perfect for me, I want one so bad 😭
What would I do without Mat Watson in my life. Great as always :)
Cool review as usual mat!!! But you forgot to mention the coolest option on the new Touareg! The night vision assistant! A radar which can spot objects like people or animals up to 400 meters at night or with fog! I tried it a month ago and it’s really worth the money, also in combo with the laser lights!
Ciao ciao!
Just a tip: with all modern VW cars that have the wipers under the hood, you can have them go into their “service position” (blades upright) by flicking the windshield wiper stock up. It saves time and is a little bit of an Easter egg!
I believe VW puts the wipers under the hood for looks and the ability to not freeze too much when driving in snowy/icy conditions.
I sat in a full spec Tourag when I took my car for servicing, also the Q7 (medium spec) as Audi was next door. The Q7 interior feels so much more plush - that feeling of shutting the door and being cut off from the world. And I know you rarely touch the cheap plastics, but you DO sometimes and it makes a difference in the Q7 which just feels posh. Can't remember the prices but I think, if you have the money, the Q7 is worth it. But the Tourag is still the next best thing IMO
Another awesome detailed review, keep up the great work
People,just try to get this in your head... VW TOUAREG IS NOT AN AUDI NOR THE BMW, it is a car of its own, you can compare it to the BMW X5 or Audi Q7, but those cars are a quiet bit more expensive than TOUAREG, this is a huge upgrade for VW, if you don't like it don't speak wrong and nasty about it, it is definetly eligible for its price and quiet handsome I may say, that's all from me, keep the good work CarWow.. but you were clearly a bit not happy while making this video Matt ....
Finally a honest good review,of what buyers really want to know, not the usual grovaling blindfolded vw reviews,good job
2019: “better than a bentayga!”
2020: it’s aightttt
And it's exactly the same car lol
He's a clown and not a car reviewer.
@@Ignacio.Romero they both share the same platform, but that's pretty much it as for the similarities between the two. This could be regarded as a cheaper version of the Audi Q8.
@@damilolaakanni Q7
They share more in common than yoy might think. For instance both are made in Bratislava.
Yes a Bentley made in Brati fuckin slava
I have to say for Volkswagen that thing sure is pretty (the best in class in fact)
I hate SUVs, but I love watching carwow videos. :)
I mean... who doesn't?!
Yeah suvs are the most stupid thing the car industry ever brought to the market. So annoying and useless
Ok
For developed countries it is kind of useless. But for developing countries such as India SUV are really the only way to go. There are still many roads which are just man made and the ground clearance helps us alot. Really enjoyed the video and the car looks great matt
Clearly Mat doesnt hate SUVs. Is this a carwow or suvwow?
Hello Mat Watson 😄, your car review channel is quite awesome, it is so cool to see European vehicles from overseas that is not available here in the states. I'm a car guy as well. Also, your accent is truly amazing Mat, and your humor.
I love how you say that english man has accent in english😀
Matt gives the most thorough reviews ever .
This car is nicer in person. Hands down the best looking SUV I've ever set my eye on.
That "YEEEEEEEEAH" at 11:21 killed me dead. LOL
we miss you in Namibia, that will be a great review on the coastline.
Have you tried turning off the ignition and then pressing down on the wiper stalk to put it in the service position? That's how it works in my Golf.
Doug the type of guy to.....
Oops... Wrong channel
To wear 5 shirts when it's 110°f or 43°c in California
C'mon Michelle, pay attention love
You're a man Michelle.
Cant expect much from.the ex 1st lady
. Talk first then think later
Forget he bought a car. Wait no that was Tyler Hoover
It’s interesting how almost everything the VW group churns out these days looks really good and cohesive across the individual brands
Do wish they'd share more of their tech with each other. Put Porsche's PDK in all the cars for example. It would make for even greater products across the board and I honestly believe a Porsche buyer will still buy the Porsche as with Audi and VW buyers respectively
Does anyone else giggle happily to themself when Mat says "bits ‘n pieces of scratchy plastic" as he lightly scratches some scratchy plastic?
I like how you are honesty about reviews! I thought you always put shortlist, but considering it is very honest! Are there any avoid cars?
Would’ve loved if vw added 7 seat option cause this looks like a 7 seater suv with very large boot space
I like the front design of the VW Touareg. I also like the interior and the big screen.
I love the jacket demonstration for the trailer feature
I test drove this car, I didn't even know of it till I walked in to vw, and I had q8 in mind to begin with, and wow, this blew my mind I fell inlove with it, I've had a range rover, I've had an AMG, I've driven a fair few cars, this was my all time favourite!
Impressive!
you could really hear the inner walsall come out when you said “better” 😂
I had this as a courtesy car, and I have to admit the bad parts of this car wasn’t as bad and I thoroughly enjoyed it, already looking to buy one
This guy is making great reviews. Top1 on youtube right now for quite some time. Stick of truth is great :)
VW is planning to add the 4.0 V8 Diesel engine (from the Audi SQ7) into this new Touareg.
That is dope. 400+ hp and 900 Nm of torque
You are just Amazing TH-camr Mat.
Hi Matt,
Big fan of yours..Thanks for all the reviews😊
Can you just add another thing in your reviews that is sound of the exhaust.
Tooreg? Toerag?
Man these videos give me a Old Top gear Vibe. And I love it.
I love how Matt is enthusiastic about such a family car 😂🙏🏻
its supposed to be a budget version of a X5 or Q7, not a direct competitor.
Budget? It has basically the same starting price as a q7, within margin of error. Touareg starts from 57K, Q7 from 64K. The only thing it has going for it are the cheaper options. So it's not budget, it's just a tiny bit cheaper.
Simonas Mažeikis true
Simonas Mažeikis It’s a lot cheaper once specced up. Audi options are a lot more expensive
The Touareg was never meant to be a budget version of the Q7. The original Touareg was even released years before the Q7 was a thing. They even had a W12 Touareg at some point!
Along with the Phaeton, VW wanted the Touareg to give the brand a premium image and place it above other European and Asian mainstream brands.
you call 50,000 pound car a budget car?lmfao you must be joking
Best car and best review, Carwow is the only channel i like for car reviews. Big thumbs up from Nepal.👍👍
Just a little bit of info regarding the front wiper service position: you can also press and hold the wiper stalk down rather than tap through the screen. Nearly all VAG cars support this.
I've driven the new Touareg a month ago, right after the new X5 and the new Q7. Gotta say, I wasn't expecting the Touareg to drive the best out of those 3. It's just an absolutely amazing car.
Hey Matt. The wipers go into service position with a single push down on the wiper stock after a key cycle too, just like the old Touareg.
All vw from mk5 golf onwards has that feature
You made my day Mat, again ...
OH good i remember the good old days doin hard off roading in a 2005 tuareg r5
Nice review!! I’ve been waiting for this car on your channel 😁 this is by far my favorite SUV from VAG. I think this gen of Touareg deserves an Audi badge 💯
Tj Pewter damn right its does 👌
A real petrol-head wow, classy comment 😂.
mat and doug are the two best car reviewers on youtube.
Who's Doug?
@@carwow lmaoooo
@@carwow @dougdemuro you got beef
Nah, Savagegeese and Alex on Autos :)
Lmao Doug 👎, no, just no.
Just FYI on the wipers, on all VWs from around 2006 you just turn the ignition on and off then one push down on the wiper stalk then its in service mode. No faff on the menu systems as he mentioned.
Just ordered a Black Edition and looked at the Q7. I don't need 7 seats and I am not a badge snob... so the Tuareg is great for what I need. Had the SEL MK3 for 2 years now. I wanted the innovation cockpit but to be frank the standard one is absolutely fine.
Lease deals starting from £480PCM on Q7 Sport 50 right now (IR £4,000) for and Touareg for around £390 for SE 231 (IR £2,500)
Brilliant has always mat
Can’t tell how happy I am to see finally Touareg review from you 😋 commenting even before watching.. let’s see if you liked it😁

Hugo Mathee seen it👍
The best TH-cam channel ever 😆😆
this guy knows...
Im from Malaysia i really really like carwow video i give 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ for the reviews
You should visit mine
@@carwow #CARWOWTHEBESTREVIEW
sarcasm?
Best best car review channel in my eyes...
Very nice Video and i would Love top See a Review of the nee Borgward bx7
Such an in-depth analysis, car companies beware
This Seat Skoda Lamborghini Bentayga Cayenne - is Amazing Volkswagen!
U forgot Audi
So the new specs help your on screen presence, clearly your more professional look helps to help us understand cup holders are clearly important. the travelling efficiency will clearly be affected by the scratchy plastics. thank you for pointing out the sloppy seat nets. all in all great video
Transparent as always Mat.....👍👍👍
Touarage is a beauty! Love it
I love this Chaneel. Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮🙂
Chicken country
I am about buying the 2011 VW touareg but after seeing this video am like God when...... great car........plus much love from Nigeria....we love your reviews. Welldone
Finally a good enough video...
Imagine the guys from the "TheStraightPipes" youtube channel visor test at 3:00 they would be so happy lol
I hate SUVs, but I love watching carwow videos. :)
11:20 - first and last sighting of one of these going off road.
We've got one as a courtesy car for a few days. I agree about the feel inside, the plastics are cheap for a car that's supposedly worth nearly 60k and its lacking kit that comes as standard on tiguan allspace. Lovely to drive and even though the car we have is top of range, fuel economy has been good. 40/42mpg on my motorway commute to work at speed limits, our sorento only used to hey 35mpg on same journey.
You should rename the video title to "How Many destroyed VW Touareg image". haha I loved the car. And already made enough in-depth reviews, test drives and POV last year.
I can't even afford these cars...I just enjoy watching the videos😆😆😆
2:12 A VW with a a check engine light on. Classic lol (I'm sure the vehicle is just in accessory power mode). Great review as always Matt!
classic? im not that sure
Catalyst...
Little hint for the wipers service position: all you have to do to it press down on the wiper stack right after you turn off the car and they will automatically move to the service position. Much easier than going into the infotainment.
interior looks amazing!!!!! holy smokes lads
for england james!
PLASTIC DOESN'T MEAN THE CAR IS SHIT!
Its all top quality.. If it's not leather or metal it doesn't mean it's not good!
+ they saved on the weight of the vehicle... This car ranks up to audis and bmws as I see, honestly...
I miss the old Touareg
3:01 I got that in my Saab 9-5 2.3L Vector 2006 mod
great review for one more time..!could you please review 2019 forester, rav4 and v60 cross country whenever possible??
not much to ask ehh???
i would love this in america rather than the Atlas
I have a Touareg 2 and it's such a good car :) I really like this low position behind a steering wheel, 3.0 TDI is a great engine, it looks good outside and an infotainment system is very easy. It's a first time that I don't agree with Mat. Which posh feeling SUV can we buy for the same price ??
I love watching carwow scenarios and I hope one day I see Touareg W12 6.0 on your channel as forgotten Powerful Touareg ever made.
You are THE KING OF THE REVIEWS :d
when is bmw x7 review comming anxiously awaiting
MOIZ MUGHAL why would you want a review of that ugly boat?
That will be later In the year
@@ExarchusDivision because it's an important, awesome fucking car despite the ugly grille. Because FINALLY there's a REAL alternative to the Range Rover that might even be reasonably reliable.
BMW's aren't known for their reliability, but the Range Rover is a fucking laughing stock when it comes to that.
Jesus Christ I don’t think the Rover lacks competition. I also don’t think the X7 will be a serious competitor to the Rover with this hideous chinese design.
@@ExarchusDivision what? No competition is plenty competition for you? Name one car that's meant to compete directly against it.
Also, as we've seen with BMW X6, cars can sell well despite being hideous.
Really like the new touareg
I like the way you review cars cause you are honest and funny 😂 great job!
🐒
Great review... Great channel
Mat, one bugatti chiron please
It is so beutiful
I like the detail provided in these reviews but I think CarWow should try using different presenters, I think Matt is very good but I’ve must have seen 50 reviews of his which all merge into one long review of him commenting on door bins and scratching the hell out of interior panels.
and I felt premium because in my family in November of 2018 my mother had bought a pure white Volkswagen Tiguan All Space and now with seeing this video the feeling of feeling premium went away
Is it always autumn in the UK? In pretty much all your videos there are a bunch of leaves on the road
Saw a normal looking silver one in VW recently with the tech pack (and a few other obscure extras I assume), and it was €92,500! 😳😂
Paddy Downey might as well get a Porsche for that price
@@DaTruePowa
Porsche is a good vehicle but not as good off road as the Touareg but is more sporty. It is about personal choice.
I agree with Mat. I 100% agree. My thoughts exactly. I drove the top of the line version too. It just felt it just did not worth the money.
I love the black edition version of this vehicle absolutely beautiful car.
Great review
I’m watching all these big lux suv videos and seems BmW x5 is the best among them
Volkswagen KILLED the Touraeg here in the U.S.
Yeah for the drab and lame passat-based atlas
The majority of Americans hated it so it became unprofitable. I'd love if they sold it again but I doubt it ever will.
Telluride, what do u mean by Volkswagen killed the Touareg
the U.S. tried to kill VW
@@promzypromzy1863 They discontinued the Touraeg in the U.S.
I think the gear not being speedy at the start is for safety reasons just to make sure thats what you really want and not an instictive mistake
The steering wheel destroyed everything! I just can’t remove my eyes from it 🤣. Good job VW.
Yeah, i am confused as well
