2020 VW Touareg review - Superior to the Audi Q7? | What Car?

Since 2003, the Volkswagen Touareg has provided buyers of luxury SUVs a less blingy alternative to premium-badged rivals. At least it has until now. Still, look past the in-your-face chrome grille and there’s a very sensible vehicle underneath. Save on a new Volkswagen Touareg with What Car?: www.whatcar.com/volkswagen/to...

I'm sorry but I have to totally disagree with this review. I really think this car is more unique than the Audi Q7 the interior design is better the dash is better and it just looks more up class that's my opinion. Sounds to me she thinks the q7 is far more superior. Not will to give it a far try....... smh

I'm sure the ride must feel great, this Touareg is the European version. I'm pretty sure the US version will have idiot proof controls. I own a 2014 Touareg Executive TDI. I had several offers from people that want to buy but no way! I test drove the Cayanne, Macan, and Audi Q5/Q7. Those SUVs feel exactly the same except they're Porsche and Audi and a few more options that I didn't care about. They tow almost the same 7,700lbs. I can pass cars within secs, City is 26/27 and highway I get around 33mpg. 26 gallon tank 720 miles. Never had a problem just making sure I continue doing it's maintenance service. Always fun to drive.. it's an awesome durable and power machine!

The 4.2 liter V8 Diesel was a fantastic engine. The current Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel was from the same quality... before the fucking idiotic "let's save the world politics" destroyed it and now Porsche won't offer it no longer.

That's what you call being economical with the truth. While I agree with you that all car maker's are economical with the truth, on this occasion Volkswagen most definitely crossed that line and just out and out lied and defrauded everyone.
