Everything you need to know about one of the most talked about SUVs of the last few years. Howard Ritchie goes rogue on and off piste in the Volkswagen Touareg SEL 3.0 V6 TDI 4MOTION 231PS 8spd auto, putting it through its paces as much as possible without needing a crane and TV crew to assist.

QUIZ: FREE CAR FOR ONE YEAR....NEW SHAPE NO SUNROOF OR OLD SHAPE WITH SUNROOF?

@ottergreen8190 5 лет назад

I have a 2011 Touareg and absolutely love it. Chocolate leather interior with stainless and wood grain.

@jtonline99 3 года назад

Love that you reviewed the SEL!! Everyone has done the 286ps or R-Line models, which are nice but slightly outside my budget. I think I could live with an SEL and a few upgrades after watching this review. Thanks 👍

@thezanzibarbarian5729 5 лет назад

I was half expecting you to mention "dogging" when you were driving in the woods. But you neatly let that one slip by :-))... For such a large vehicle, I was surprised how little room there was for the back seats. So probably not the best one to use for my first comment above!! :-))... Once again you've done everything right in this video. When are the BBC calling for you to join TopGear?

Instead of great global vehicles like this and the Passat we get the watered down POS made for North America only VW's which is why I won't support this company anymore.

@2W3X4YZ5 4 года назад

The day they offer a Touareg III with the 4.0 TDI V8 in the United States, is the day before I buy one. Sure would like to see an Amarok 4.0 TDI as well. That’s the truck America needs, but is forbidden to have.

@baltvdb 5 лет назад

Excellent review, all the relevant information good to watch & all opinions supported by details. Thanks 😎🇬🇧

@satnitcboy 4 года назад

It's a shame that this widely praised VW SUV isn't offered in North America. Here it's the Tiguan or the Atlas. Not that we don't have 799 different permutations of SUVs/crossovers to choose from, but this Touareg seems to be VW's best. Well, maybe they'll decide to electrify it and send us that one.

@imaginationphotography7057 5 лет назад

Loving the review, interesting and informed as ever

@timdeluca-smith1621 5 лет назад

For clarification - it's only the SEL that requires air suspension on larger wheels. Move up to the R-Line and 20's are standard. I have an R-Line Tech and love it (I came from the previous generation Touareg, and this is a massive leap forward).

I still love the V8 4.2 2004 Touareg It drives like a ship. Heavy, smooth, and powerful. Non of the newer Touaregs compare. Now that you have improved upon the technicalities, bring back the 2004 model to the market, equipped with all these neuschkeinten. It will outsell above all its competitors. And, please, we still want to keep driving the old Touaregs. We need spare parts for replacements. Make them available, please. Don't leave us to go scavenging. Help us enjoy owning the classics. We are willing to buy the parts to refurbish what we have. Help us pimp our ride.

@Exodos1234 5 лет назад

At 5:59 when you press the roof liner you can see how it separates from the middle column plastic. Also plastics are in some areas not up to the price. Rear passenger room doesn't seem to be larger than an XC90 for example. Too complicated infotainment system. should be more simple.

@matthew1355 5 лет назад

I looked at this model. Had two test drives and each car had the same issue. When you push the accelerator it takes up to a slow count of four before the car starts to move. The old model didn't suffer with this. If you are thinking of buying one try it, Imagine you are pulling out from a junction, put your foot down and start counting.....software?

@leasingdotcom 5 лет назад

Could be software, we were looking out for that issue and didn't encounter it. Seemed fine for a single turbo

I'm Extremely Disappointed VW dropped it from the US market. I grabbed a 2017 Wolf for myself but when my wife got her hands on it - well it's hers. If they stuck with the off road/ lux approach they would be ahead of the competition - such as their off road racing - just saying.

@chriszbodula1894 5 лет назад

I own a 2011 Hybrid. What year is this car. I thought they stopped making the Touareg and replaced it with the tinny, not even close in comparison, Atlas.
