Volkswagen Touareg R 2024 review
This SUV is FAST, FUN, FUNCTIONAL, FRUGAL and FANTASTIC! Thanks for subscribing! www.youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1
The VW Touareg R is all things to all people. It's a plug-in hybrid so it can do the EV driving thing in urban situations, but that also means it has HUGE power and torque outputs - the most of ANY VW to date!
And it's a five-seat family SUV with a massive boot, heaps of tech and luxury, and a terrific cabin design.
Plus it's ridiculously good to drive - in town, and on the open road.
So is there anything that isn't good about it? And is it worth $130K AUD?
If that's too much, there's also the VW Touareg diesel models - my review of those is here: czcams.com/video/K3H3Mrq-j44/video.html

Volkswagen Touareg V6 TDI 2024 review - 170TDI, 210TDI 4Motion
zhlédnutí 8KPřed 19 hodinami
It isn't a 'luxury brand' but the VW Touareg is TOTALLY a luxury SUV! Subscribe here: www.youtube.com/@therightcar?sub_confirmation=1 This review focuses on the 170TDI V6 diesel 4Motion five-seat version of the Touareg, but there's also a couple of other really compelling diesel models covered here, including the 210TDI Elegance and the 210TDI R-Line.

This is a SIGNIFICANT moment for the ute market in Australia - the first hybrid pickup truck! The GWM Cannon Alpha beats Toyota to the punch, and also becomes the first mainstream ute with a petrol-electric powertrain well ahead of the planned BYD Shark and Ford Ranger Plug-in Hybrid models which are due soon. So is this ute the one to buy? Well, I've done a detailed review on the diesel versio...
Subaru Solterra 2024 review
zhlédnutí 8KPřed dnem
Subaru's first EV is here. And it's a good one! Good, I'd say... but maybe not quite great. And with the competition heating up in this segment, it's going to be tough for the Solterra to stand out against some keenly priced alternatives out there. But if you're a Subaru person, you might just want your first EV to be a Subie - and if that's the case, you're going to like plenty about this SUV....
2024 Kia Sorento Hybrid review - Better than a Toyota 7 seater?
zhlédnutí 15KPřed dnem
The updated 2024 Kia Sorento SUV range has seen the inclusion of a hybrid model. This is that car - and it's available in 2WD or AWD, with pricing starting above $70K AUD. Which means, frankly, that it's a bit expensive. Compare that to the diesel version, which is my pick and is very nicely sorted and it also happens to start almost $20K cheaper and the GT-Line only HEV Sorento isn't quite as ...
Best cheap 7 seater SUV in Australia? 2024 Chery Tiggo 8 Pro Max review

This is the biggest Chery SUV yet. It's the Tiggo 8 Pro Max, a 3 row SUV with a focus on value. With pricing starting at just $41,990 driveaway, it certainly delivers on that. The are three grades available, and front- or all-wheel drive, too. All versions are powered by a punchy 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine. There's a heap of great tech, loads of safety gear, and some impressive stuff inside ...
2025 Kia Carnival review - Why buy a 7 seater SUV? This 8-seat people mover (MPV) is AMAZING!
zhlédnutí 21KPřed 14 dny
SUVs are silly, and you know it. People-mover vans like the Kia Carnival MPV are brilliant. I mean, you have to be okay with front-wheel drive only, as there's no AWD model available, and some people think they look dorky... But those people are wrong. Because the updated 2025 Kia Carnival is a brilliant machine, with three rows of seats (with 8 seat capacity), a huge boot or trunk space, diese...
New Honda Accord hybrid 2024 review: e:HEV RS
zhlédnutí 16KPřed 14 dny
Should Honda have bothered bringing the new Accord to Australia? After nearly 50 years on sale over 11 generations, the Honda Accord is a household name in this market, but there are plenty of reasons why the brand could have decided not to bring this car in. Sales of vehicles that aren't SUVs or pick-up utes have slumped, and no-one seemingly sees the value of these sorts of sedans. But the re...

Having arrived in Australia with the Countryman C, Countryman S and Countryman JCW petrol models touching down first, and the fully electric Mini Countryman E grades here by the end of 2024, there's a heap of choices for buyers. In fact, that's the big thing about the new Countryman, which is all about customisation and configurat...
Volvo EX30 review - Australia has a new cheap EV superstar!
zhlédnutí 18KPřed 21 dnem
Okay, so it might not actually be that cheap, but the Volvo EX30 is now the most affordable vehicle from the brand. It's fully electric, has a couple of variants available including Single Motor and Twin Motor Performance versions, and I drove them all as a guest of Volvo Car Australia at the launch event for the new EX30. It is a small crossover hatch - but it has plenty of EV driving range, l...
VW Amarok 4-cylinder vs V6 towing test comparison review! (TDI500 v TDI600)
zhlédnutí 31KPřed 21 dnem
Is the VW Amarok a good dual-cab ute to tow with? You bet. But you really need to see the difference in performance if you're considering 4-cyl vs V6. There's not just a huge 25 per cent advantage to the V6 TDI model in terms of power and torque it also has a permanent 4Motion 4WD system that can drive in all-wheel drive mode on sealed surfaces. The 4-cyl? It's thousands of dollars cheaper, sti...

It's not every review that I sleep in the vehicle I'm testing... but this review is different. I just spent the night in the new VW Crafter Kampervan, an Australian designed RV that is built in conjunction with Jayco in Melbourne, Australia.

2024 Audi Q3 review - Sportback vs SUV
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 21 dnem
The Audi Q3 compact luxury SUV does a lot of things right. I just drove the higher-spec 40 TFSI S line version in the Sportback (coupe SUV) bodystyle, and while I don't think it's the smartest buy in the range of Audi Q3 2024 models, it certainly looks great. There is a heap of standard equipment on offer in this SUV that makes it stand out against rivals from Mercedes-Benz and BMW, and I've go...

how is 2024 Skoda Kodiaq as the alternative to this ? your view is much appreciated on it, or a review would be even better!
The massive obnoxious badge on the grill is a huge turn off. Other than that it's a winner in my books
what about the Lexus NX450 h+ as an option
I just bought one and I love it ❤
How much money, are you saving. When you go to trade it in, or try to sell it? 💸 🔥
Thank you for the great review, last week paid a deposit for the Sportage GT , and then found out that Tesla model Y dropped their prices to the exact price of the Sportage. I went to test drive the tesla today and I'm very confused now... I would love to hear your thoughts... Sportage HYBRID GT LINE VS TESLA MODEL Y .
What would be a similar vehicle comparison for ride quality. I drive a Mustang with magnaride, and am after a slightly softer GT ride. Plus carsales says it does have adaptive cruise control, is this the case ?
Still a shitbox
I might buy mine today based on ur reviews!! Thanksa
Touareg, not Twarag.😊
I am from South Africa I am thinking of buying one in September this year
That's gross
X5 is the answer. I own a VAG and it's been quite good overall but there's no way I'd choose a Touareg over an X5 30d.
Every Australian car journalist covers every Chinese cars in exactly the same, almost identical manner....... Seems it's like the legacy media kind of 'understanding'........ predictable, and a bit nauseous.....
You don’t have to consume the media.
We’re a family of 3, my son is 6 and this car fits perfectly
You must be a petite fam
Did he say F me I'm blind...?? Cool!!!
Haha yes I did.
Compare with Bugatti, its absolutely bargain.
I guess so
love the Amarok
Nice!
Waste of time watching this video
No-one forced you to.
How can this thing legally tow 3.5T It has only got a max tow ball weight of 280kgs and a maximum rear axle load of 1530kg. There isn’t many 3.5 t trailers/ caravans out there that won’t exceed these numbers once attached and loaded let alone a full tank of fuel, 2 adults and a bit of gear on board. I’m sure there will be people out there that will defend its towing ability but they would be uneducated lunatics.
Im thinking if the alpha would be a better candidate over the cannon x as a tradie vehicle ( trade anopy on back )
Sunroof do big in summer days sun rise, cabine are not easy contracts fresh environments. Even snow freeze days shall more freezing.
Interestingly it has a significantly bigger boot than the much bigger Lexus UX...
Hi Just bought a Commerce plus in the UK. Looking to convert cheaply with plasics & lightweight seats in back. Camping kit porta loo & shower. Hot water from solar & pre heat panels. Control battery 20w panel for dashboard top ups. Tesla Off Grid UK battery pack. Probably single pop up panel with bed on the roof. Not sure of time frame. Just enjoying the best dodgem camper car I dreamed of as a kid. Now where do I slot the money. In the key safe wallet. Nice. Great Review. Nice Van. My first VW. Partner has a Polo. I will get a spare & finger jack kit though. Hoo Roo. Terry.
Good on ya Terry.
KIAと比べるなよじいちゃんおたおかか?

Thanks! I’m going to do it for a few more videos coming up.
We actually just ordered an Ora Gt, we were leaning towards the ultra though which has all the same features as the Gt (like vented/heated massage seats and a powered tailgate) and just different styling and is a few thousand cheaper so that’s probably the better option
Oowaah sunny melbourne arvo. A very rare sight!
I can't handle the look of the front
Most of the people watching this today be flat out putting a deposit on a saveloy sausage let alone $130,000 VW 🤪 🤪 🤪 🤪
Hahahaha
Is Lexus just a highly stylized Toyota, or is it really a separate car brand, a class higher than Toyota?
Depends what you expect of a “luxury” brand.
No Toyota has it in us
That’s not Australia
Just wondering what do you think was reflecting the light onto your face?
You should this as a test. Go get a 10 year old Ute from China and then get a 10 year old Hilux and compare them.
Remind me in 10 years and I’ll do it
@@therightcar Is that because you can't find a working 10 year old car from China?
Thats what a 2024's car should be look like😄😄😄
Who in their right mind would pay over 60k for a top spec vw?
Congratulations on waking up from your coma. A lot has changed since 2005.
Which Is the best for a family?
Nice choice of your set off twisties to explore the performance. Sounds like it doesn’t come with a similar spec exhaust like its smaller brother the Tiguan R. With the same 0-100 times and better handling than this bigger one then if you’re not after the additional space then save just over $50k and buy the Tiguan R.
Great point. Get one while you still can - it’s done for in the coming months.
@@therightcar Exactly. Luckily, I’ve just purchased one for my CFO (AKA Wife), in blue, with the optional panoramic sunroof and HK speaker upgrades. I was actually surprised at how much bang for buck it provides. She also loves it. 😊
Great review. Thank you. Why didn’t VW take on board basically everyone’s feedback and get rid of those haptic steering wheel controls and replace them back to actual buttons.
I agree. I think the decision to revert to real buttons has happened on the cheaper models but not for high grades yet. Maybe we will see it in the MY25 upgrade.
@@therightcar I actually originally typed that they’ll possibly include this in the MY25 version. Love your channel BTW! 😊
After the last 2 videos, are you sure you wanna use "Rated R?"😂🤣😂
Haha I know - maybe my future is on another video platform…? #therightmatt
Interesting interpretation of "cheap" - the word I'd use is "overpriced". Maybe I'm just mean....
They were “cheap” when this video was published. There are better deals out there now.
@therightcar would you buy a LDV D90, Haval H6, Mahindra XUV 700 or Cherry Tiggo 8? Let's say all of them in entry level. Do not take size or amount of seats in consideration please. What will you choose?
I’d choose the LDV. It’s a bigger car with more space and a comfy ride, and NO annoying safety tech.
BYD should bring the EV BYD Yuan Up to Australia soon. It's similar size to the Venue and is selling in China for US$14000 (A$23000). Hyundai cars are way way overpriced.
really nice review😊 Love the channel. 0-100 will be really helpful.
VW say it’s 5.1 seconds
Considering Jeep can’t even sell a thousand vehicles of any type in Australia, this vehicle should be allowed to be sold in Australia.
What’s the wading depth of the triton?
As good as the racking system is, I personally think the roof rails look extremely bulky; Given that it's the luxurious version of the ranger, there would be a lot of people that would not have the use for the rack system. I'd rather see the platinum sold like the wildtrak, with a fixed sale plane. Then the racking system could be optional, if that's what the customer desires..
The stupid situation with sales to oz is that the old jeep/Chrysler and now Stallantis company only owned the jeep brand name not manufacturing licenses. Mahindra hold the Willy Jeep license to manufacture. The judge was paid off to protect US manufacturing, this current type vehical has been made by Mahindra from 1950, just that we didn’t see them in countries that US manufacturers controlled, like Australia.
