  • Consumption L/100km : 5.2 - 6.5 L

Design & Presence

The Touran keeps a pragmatic, understated presence that favours function over flash — clean lines, a squared-off rear and a stance that reads “family tool” rather than fashion statement. At 4,527 mm long it sits neatly between compact hatchbacks and full-size MPVs, so it looks purposeful without dominating the driveway. The face is modern VW, restrained but tidy, which helps it age well and lose less value over time. For buyers who want practical dignity rather than showy style, the Touran hits the mark.

Interior & Usability

Cabin quality follows Volkswagen’s familiar rulebook: hard-wearing materials, logical switchgear and a fit-and-finish that feels solid even after heavy use. The Touran is offered with the 1.5 TSI petrol (around 150 hp) and 2.0 TDI diesel (122–150 hp) engines in manual or automatic forms, so buyers can pick the drivetrain to match their driving patterns. Controls are straightforward and ergonomics are sensible, with a central screen and driver display that keep things visible without fuss. Storage cubbies, sensible seat shapes and easy-to-read displays make daily life simpler rather than more complicated.

Space & Everyday Practicality

Space is where the Touran does its best work: five seats come standard and the luggage area opens at a useful 834 litres, expanding to as much as 1,980 litres with rear seats folded for larger loads. That capacity means strollers, bulky shopping runs and weekend kit for a family holiday fit without gymnastics, and the relatively modest exterior dimensions still allow easy parking in town. Payload figures near 590–601 kg keep towing and load limits sensible for everyday use. Practical touches and a low loading lip underline that this is a car designed around real family chores.

Driving & Handling

Driving balance leans toward comfort and composure rather than sportiness: the front-wheel-drive chassis is stable, predictable and tuned for mid-range refinement rather than sharp turn-in. Performance varies by engine — 0–100 km/h figures sit in a band roughly between about 8.9 and 10.8 seconds depending on spec — so overtaking and motorway merging feel confident with the 150 hp variants and adequate with the 122 hp diesel. Steering is light and composed, body control is good for an MPV, and the suspension soaks up rough surfaces in daily driving. For buyers wanting driver engagement, the Touran won’t thrill, but for families who prioritise smooth, secure motion it’s a reliable companion.

Efficiency, Consumption & Range

Fuel consumption is competitive for the class: petrol 1.5 TSI figures sit around 6.3–6.5 L/100 km while the 2.0 TDI diesel returns nearer 5.2–5.3 L/100 km in official measures. With a 58‑litre tank that translates to a theoretical cruising range well beyond 800 km on petrol and over 1,000 km on diesel in ideal conditions, although real-world numbers are typically a bit higher. CO2 emissions in the mid-130s to high-140s g/km reflect that balance between efficiency and family-sized performance. In short, the diesel is the economical choice for high annual mileage, while the petrol suits mixed urban and motorway use with only a modest fuel penalty.

Assistance & Infotainment

The Touran brings the expected modern assistance package: driver aids such as adaptive cruise and lane support are available, and parking sensors and camera options make manoeuvres easier in tight spaces. Infotainment centres on a clear touchscreen with connectivity features for smartphone mirroring, and the cabin layout keeps information visible without distraction. Safety and convenience systems are designed to reduce stress on long trips and busy school runs rather than to dazzle with gimmicks. The result is a neatly equipped, sensible system that covers the real needs of family drivers.

Who is it for?

The Touran is aimed squarely at families and buyers who prize practicality, interior space and sensible running costs over styling showmanship or sporting thrills. Those covering long distances will appreciate the diesel’s low consumption and long range, while mixed-use households will find the 1.5 TSI a flexible, capable choice. Buyers choosing between a compact SUV and an MPV will value the Touran’s roominess and everyday usability. If reliable packaging, solid build and family-focused practicality are priorities, the Touran remains a very rational choice.
