Volkswagen Touareg R Review: More is less

Күн бұрын

The Volkswagen Touareg is the flagship luxury SUV within the German brand's lineup. In this CarGurus UK video, Chris Knapman tests the recently facelifted Touareg R plug-in hybrid to see if it's worthy of consideration alongside rivals such as the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7.
With an electric-only range of up to 30 miles and a 0-62mph time of 5.1 seconds, the Touareg R certainly has some on-paper appeal, but is it worth the extra money over a standard V6 model?

Definitely agree that it make far more sense as a used buy.

Matrix LED headlights are all very clever, but they are also part of the reason why everyone’s insurance is going up (yes, including those who don’t have matrix lights). All of the tech in the front bumper means that minor repairs are no longer quick & cheap to fix. Who actually asked for any of that lane assist crap in the first place? Ironic that the review spends more time on how to turn them off than whether they are any good 😂

Legal requirement in Europe maybe?

Aside for its expensive list price, I’d find it more appealing if it had a 7 seat option. Far more attractive as a second hand buy. But it’s the lack of a seven seat option that kills it for me.

@wainerollins2587 5 ай бұрын

Agree with this. I just can't see the point of making an SUV of this size and it not being a 7 seater.

The Touaregs' lack of popularity is the ridiculous high price and shockingly poor reliability!

I have had mine since April 2019 and it hasn’t failed once. In that time aside from servicing the only additional costs have been at 60000 miles for a set of tyres and brake pads all round.

@@Trickytimes So your one positive experience discounts the majority negative experience, which is indicated repeatedly in consumer survey after consumer survey. Is that what you're saying?

@lapamful No. I didn't say that. I said that I had experienced trouble-free motoring with mine.

Pre-facelift model has drive assist features menu on a dedicated steering wheel button, and did not require accessing a menu on the touch screen. Perhaps this was missed in the review?

The enjoyment comes from driving the car, not spending the money. Likewise a holiday, spent in the destination not how much it cost. Not a Tuareg driver but have the Tiguan R-Line and love it

What put me off is its legendary unrelibabilty. Seems this thing was put together by Diane Abbott. But you mention all the competition, and all those competitors provide larger engines than this v6. This thing used to look a lot different, and it used to come with engine sizes up to V10 with over 1,000 nm of torque!!! Those were the days...

The reason why this car failed in UK was its price. It’s the same price as Q7 even though its build quality was cheaper and a less desirable brand.

These have chronic problems with leaky sunroof leaking. It leaks into the doors and fries the entirely electric lock mechanism. Very expensive repair, the sunroof comes out and the door(s) come off. Comfortable and relaxing cruiser (wibbly wobbly horrible mess if you "push on") but a huge design flaw. Volvo far superior.
