subject: The Vw Touran The 7 Seater Compact Mpv [print this page] Volkswagen has been producing the Touran since 2003; originally it was available in 5 seat or 7 seat configuration. The new Touran unveiled earlier on in the year will only be available as a 7 seater. It is based on the Golf and similarities can be seen particularly on the front end.
The Touran is slightly larger than the Golf Plus; the Touran has a longer rear overhang accommodating the extra 2 seats. The new Touran has been available in the UK since September 2010; it has been given a cosmetic overhaul to match the looks of the latest Golf, Touareg and Polo.
As well as new bumpers, grille, lights, tailgate and alloy wheels, the face lifted Touran also has new interior trim, dials and a fresh steering wheel. The Touran boasts great versatility and practicality, the third row of seats fold down into the floor to give 695 litres of luggage space. Fold down the centre row of seats as well and there's a massive 1913 litres of space.
New engine choices have also been added to the model, there is now a new entry level 104bhp 1.2-litre petrol engine, along with the existing 138bhp or 168bhp petrol engine. There is also a range of diesel engines to choose from a 1.6-litre with 89bhp or 104bhp, or a 2.0-litre with 138bhp or 168bhp.
VW have added some new clean technology to bolster the Tourans green credentials, the 1.2-litre petrol and 104bhp 1.6-litre diesel will be available with BlueMotion Technology, the 1.6-litre diesel capable of an impressive average of 61.4mpg. With VWs reliable engines it is vital to ensure all routine servicing is carried out at a VW approved dealership such as the Volkswagen Touran servicing London.
