This Great SUV Is Now Cheaper! (Volkswagen Touareg 2024 Review)

Detailed review and test of the 2024 Volkswagen Touareg facelift, including new price, models, V6 engine, handling, specs and more.
Volkswagen has repriced its Touareg large SUV with a few thousand dollars off on the base 170TDI grade (plus a bunch of previously optional equipment now included), while the 210TDI Elegance and 210TDI R-Line grades have had their prices slashed by higher amounts.
The Touareg is a rival to the likes of the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE - and even the Toyota Prado Kakadu and Ford Everest Platinum.

Thank heavens it does not have 7 seats. Not everyone wants to carry around a tribe or the extra weight of unwanted seats. Thanks for spending some time talking about the headlights too, although it would be nice if there was some footage of them in use, something that seems sadly lacking in almost every car review since the beginning of time.

Volkswagen was keen to point out that many people like yourself prefer a five-seat layout, though I know some would appreciate the option in an SUV this big.

We purchased a Tiguan Allspace Adventure, 5 seater, no need for 7 in our case. More boot space and can fit a full size spare. A great car at 60% of the price.

AU doesn't get the VW Atlas. If so, the whole picture completes and everyone gets what they want(5 or 7 seats) happily.

Yep it's the opposite for me. No 7 seat is disappointing.

It is!… but for some reason it doesn’t looks anywhere “as nice” as the previous Touareg (beige interior) I saw recently. Maybe it’s because it’s filmed, black interior or a subtle change in styling!?🤷‍♂️

Unless you're absolutely enamored by the shape or are one of those 'I must have European cars' kinda ppl, I can't see why anyone would pick this over a Mazda CX60 for example. The price doesn't make any sense. The toureg starts at around 96K and that's for the base model whilst even the mid spec CX60 D50e GT will arguably have a better interior despite sporting a smaller screen, definitely have a more powerful (and yet more economical) engine and cost around 70K. You can also argue it would be a better car than the Toureg elegance since it will come loaded with features like panoramic sunroof and whatnot. Even if you splash for the top spec Azami and you'd STILL be ahead by over 10k. And I'm not even gonna go into the reliability of each manufacturer... You just can't justify the asking price. Either needs to VW really rethink this or there are more fools than I'd expected out there.

Upcoming prodo 250 will be best seller in this medium suv segment unless VW drops their price around 65-70k drive away

Exactly why the heck would anyone get this over the new prado. Unreliable, depreciation is insane and an old platform.

@kevinferguson530 2 ай бұрын

New Prado looks good but the price is getting up there, especially if you compare the features on offer in the Touareg. I have also read a few complaints about the poor head room in the Lexus GX550 (Toyota Prado) especially in the second row. Also, the Prado interior doesn't look luxury, even on the upgraded variants.

Right, Toyota.... So, low power and high fuel use. 🤦 Do they still come with a cassette player and 1950's suspension technology?

It sounded a little like an advertorial to me... should we really be praising a cargo blind? Anyhow, the most useful feature that I heard is the range (1400km on highway). This would be handy for interstate travelling with a family on board. The least useful feature... the 15 inch screen.... drivers need to spend their time driving, not playing with a bloody screen. EDIT: I almost forgot... No car should be towing a trailer that is heavier than the vehicle itself. Anyone doing this is just asking for trouble. It's irresponsible of manufacturers to advertise this. Besides, with a 280kg maximum lowball weight, you might struggle to get a 3.5 tonne trailer attached (rule of thumb is about 10%).

Unfortunatly this is how many car review channels work. Many get paid by car brands for ‘reviews’. Look at the current flood of chinese car reviews by oz channels.

Horrendous alloy wheels design om 170 Tdi was holding it back in previous generation. It seems to be fixed now ! And why does VW not fit the better engine that gets shipped to other markets ? This engine is straight from their UTEs. Not fair
