Touran great for family holidays
The Volkswagen Touran was launched in 2003 to fill a gap in the model line-up below the Sharan, VW’s large MPV. The VW Touran was the first production vehicle in the Volkswagen Group to be released with the new ParkAssist technology, it senses up to 30 km/h to determine whether the Touran will fit in the parallel parking position.
In August 2010, the New VW Touran was updated with the newer Golf VI platform, which included new features such as Light-Assist for Xenon Headlights, an improved Park-Assist System for perpendicular parking positions, infotainment systems and improved aerodynamic.
There are new engines available, the 1.2 with 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp) and 1.6 CommonRail TDI with 77 kW (105 PS; 103 hp); the Touran is also available as a BlueMotion model, Volkswagen’s low fuel consumption vehicle program.
The diesel engines offer higher readings for miles per gallon; you can achieve 60 mpg in a diesel Touran in proper conditions. The Touran has a five and six-speed manual transmission, Tiptronic six-speed automatic transmission and DSG twin-clutch automatic transmission.
All VW Touran’s come standard with head and side airbags for the front passengers, curtain bags to provide better side protection. Anti-lock brakes and electronic stability control are also a standard fit, as well as an alarm. The Touran received an overall 5 stars in the EuroNCAP crash safety test for passenger and pedestrian safety.
The Touran has plenty of legroom for a seven seater; the third row seats fold to have a huge 695 litres of boot space which is great when going on family holidays.
