 Practicality 4.5/5
Volkswagen Touran
Volkswagen Touran
The Volkswagen Touran is an expensive car to purchase, but running costs are low and insurance and service charges will be low as well. Fuel economy will be excellent, and resale values should be good.

The Touran cabin is spacious and will provide more than sufficient space for all of the car’s passengers. The seats can be arranged to turn the Touran into a van. The boot is large and is big enough for odd shaped items. The car will be able to accommodate the needs of a family quite easily.

The Volkswagen Touran gauges are clear and concise. They are logically placed and practical. They are also well illuminated with the trademark blue and red glow. The fascia is uncluttered and the controls are straightforward.

Passengers will be comfortable, though the seats are a bit firm. Plenty of head and legroom throughout the cabin ensures that the passengers will be comfortable even on longer trips.

Accessing the Touran cabin is easy, though in tight car lots the swinging doors may be a bit difficult to open widely. The wide door apertures and a high roofline make the climb into the cabin much easier. The boot is accessed through a large hatch that allows for unrestricted access. Parking the Touran is not an easy task by any standard, though parking sensors are an option on all models. They will prove to be invaluable when both forward and reverse parking as distances are hard to judge and the car is hard to maneuver in tight spaces.

Most drivers will find that the Volkswagen Touran is likeable enough. The car may feel a little lacking due to the fact that the car’s throttle and steering inputs are electronically regulated, but it is always precise. Diesel engines feel more powerful than they are thanks to the amount of torque offered. The Touran also doesn’t lean through corners like most of the other cars in this class.

This is an excellent family vehicle. The fact that it seats seven and provides more than adequate cabin space for all passengers is a huge plus. The car is versatile and can also carry a good deal of cargo. The van is durable enough to handle family life, yet classy enough that it can be taken anywhere.

This is not a good first car. It is expensive, and large. Novice drivers may have a difficult time navigating the Touran and are not likely to need so much space.

The Volkswagen company is known for producing quality and reliable cars. Owners will not need to worry about owning a badge that’s stylish enough. Volkwagen’s badge carries plenty of clout, but the Touran as practical as it is will not be much of a head turner.
