Overview & Reviews

The Touareg's standard V6 engine goes from 220 hp to 240 hp. The optional navigation system will change from CD-based to DVD-based later in the model year. The formerly standard tire-pressure monitoring system is now optional, and satellite radio is available across the board. A self-dimming rearview mirror debuts this year, along with newly styled 18-inch alloy wheels.

• Upscale interior, polished road manners, true off-road capability, solid construction, lengthy standard equipment list.

• Lousy fuel economy, not a lot of room in the backseat, no in-dash CD changer.

  Electrical Junk - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Dave - March 24 - 11:13 pm

  I wish VW would buy this junk car back. I should not be on a first name basis with the dealer service staff with only 6500 miles on the car. The vehicle has more electrical problems than I can stand, rewire the drivers seat, numerous tire PSI computers, and R/C key antenna issues (I could stand next to the vehicle and it refused to lock). Heck, I didnt even make it home from the dealer on the day we bought it before I had to turn around and bring it back for a problem! This is not what I expect from a high end SUV. Shame on you VW!

  Cant go wrong - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Damian Ward - March 1 - 8:53 am

  This vehicle will do everything you ask of it onroad or offroad. Safe, reliable, and plenty quick between traffic lights. Stops really well. great vehicle for long road trips. SatNav system is last generation CD instead of DVD. Air suspension works like a dream. No complaints in 1st year of ownership. This vehicle is the full deal.

  Volkswagen Touareg V6 - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Kadri - February 9 - 12:03 pm

  The Volkswagen Touareg is a great SUV, an example of this is when I went off-roading with this bad boy. Another great feature that I like is the Tire Pressure Monitior since you can actually check out the pressure of all 4 tires. Also I recently got a trialer hitch attached to my Touareg which can tow up 7,500 pounds. In my opinion I shouldve gotten the V8 since it gives the brawny power of the German cars today, even though the fuel economy would deterioate

  Brilliant SUV - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Henry20 - January 1 - 12:46 pm

  My parents bought me a VW Touareg as a welcome home gift from College this May. I was excited but at the same time apprehensive because I have heard/read that this SUV has many problems et al. I got it and me and my buddies went up to New Hampshire and it was the best automobile I have ever driven in my life(last car was a 2002 330i)! I had to take it in for a glitch in the airbag system and for a temperature gauge malfunction but have been tremendously satisfied with it! Superb road handling on wet, grueling, everything-nature-throws-at-you New Hampshire backroads and on the highways. I now have 12,500 miles on my Touareg, offroading and highway/city. Definately buy if you have the chance!

  One of the Best SUVs Available - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Siegfried Grimm - December 13 - 4:03 pm

  The Volkswagen Touareg may not be the fastest in its class, it does not get the best fuel economy, but it is well built and reliable. Those are important features to me.

  fun car - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By meg moscati - December 12 - 6:46 am

  Even though the fuel economy stinks, this is an awesome car to drive. Very comfortable inside and handles well. The exterior colors and design make it a really handsome car as well.

  The best SUV Ive ever driven!! - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By Ted - August 25 - 11:40 am

  This is hands down the best SUV I have ever driven. I considered 8 others and the Touareg is the best SUV for the money. Its not a "soccer mom" car. Its an SUV thats fun to drive, has lots of options and drives like a car. I recommend this vehicle if you like quality and performance.

  Unhappy with my Touareg - 2005 Volkswagen Touareg
  By julesvw - July 2 - 10:00 am

  I have less than 1000 miles on this, and have had numerous problems. Its already had a CD player replaced, different warning lights come on, and stay on. Its had to be towed to the dealership because it wouldnt start. Overall I would NOT recommend this vehicle to anyone. I have always driven a Volkswagen, and this is my first unhappy experience. I am also very unhappy about my "default" settings in the computer of this vehicle. It keeps locking my doors at inappropraite times. The brakes are squishy, and the drive is erratic. Its also a bit sluggish even though its a V8.
