Overview & Reviews

Volkswagen has thoroughly revamped the Touareg's engine lineup this year. A new, larger V6 engine makes 36 more horsepower than last year's V6, and a new V8 provides 40 more hp. It would also seem that the long-delayed diesel-fueled V10 is finally slated for a full year in 2007 after coming back from the dead in late 2006. Other upgrades this year include adaptive xenon headlights, an Apple iPod adapter, a power liftgate and remote keyless start.

• Upscale interior, polished road manners, true off-road capability, diesel engine option, lengthy standard equipment list.

• Smaller backseat than competitors, hefty curb weight results in disappointing fuel economy from V6 and V8, no third-row seat.

  Excellent SUV - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Susan Curtis - June 5 - 9:16 pm

  I have owned other mid-sized premium SUVs and this one is my favorite. It handles so well and I feel very safe in it. It has surpassed my expectations and continues to do so.

  Good Solid SUV - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Bill M - May 22 - 10:33 am

  We have 43,000 miles on the Touareg and still enjoy driving the car. We especially like the quiet solid ride. Handling is shape with good braking. Transmission shifts smoothly in drive drop down to the sport position and the performance gains are note worthy. The power is excellent with a average of 17.5 mpg in SoCal driving. We just replace the front brake at the VW dealer $600 the back brakes should be good for 60,000 miles. The tire were replace at 36,000 miles. The GPS lacks detail but the backup camera make the GPS a fair value. Much better car than the FX45 we traded in. The interior has shown no signs of wear, the heated seats can bake your backside in short order. GREAT SUV

  Best Ever - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By bob shulman - December 6 - 2:20 pm

  My previous SUV was am Acura MDX, which I was totaly satisfied with. The Volkswagen drives so much better, feels better (its the euro feeling), same mileage, much more power, but everyday I enjoy the vehicle more and more, its not the Volkswagen our parents had years ago.

  Excellent - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By ehd - June 2 - 1:10 am

  The Touareg has excellent build-quality, power, handling, comfort; and it is fun to drive on and off-road. Despite some of the complaints, the FSI V8s fuel economy is on par with any comparable performance AWD vehicle with 350 hp.

  By E55 - May 22 - 10:20 am

  I got mine since may 2008. I have v6 tdi version. Fuel consumption around 26 mpg in city- 36-40 mpg at highway. Not bad for diesel. If compare to 16/21 for us v6 version, I have done test drive with VW staff. Its amazing what they do with touareg! We were at Nice off road and on airport take off lane. Definitely will take my to us next time.

  Outstanding - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Bob - October 15 - 5:40 am

  Replaced my 2003 Acura MDX which I thought was a great vehicle. This car outshines the acura in every respect. They changed the engine this year and its great, no complaints, but its still new. I cant feel the transmission shift. If it stays like this in the future I think Ive died and went to auto heaven.

  This is an Awesome SUV! - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By KeithB - June 28 - 5:56 pm

  I am very happy with my new Touareg. I waited for the 3.6L FSI engine and it does not disappoint. The fit and finish here is top notch. I have owned BMWs and Audis and I like the Audi feel of the Touareg in terms of ride quality and German feel. Nice rig!

  The Touareg is Awesome! - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By KeithB - April 10 - 2:00 pm

  We really love our Touareg. The build quality is top notch from the first class interior to the 3.6L FSI V6 which really feels like a V8 and is more economical. This vehicle is a nice ride. I really like how comfortable the car is and that you do not hear any road noise at all. I have owned a lot of BMWs and one Audi and you just cant beat the German car feel here. I also like the idea that the Touareg is somewhat unique in that you dont really see many of them on the road. Everybody has a X5, MDX or whatever. The Touareg stands out from the rest. This vehicle is a keeper!

  Touareg Love - 2007 Volkswagen Touareg
  By rock - April 8 - 3:36 pm

  I fell in love with my Touareg the moment I took it for a test drive. Its fun and I feel in complete control. Its gas mileage is low, but its an SUV. I havent had an issue yet, but its still early. I enjoy it.
