- Detailed review and test of the 2024 Volkswagen Touareg facelift, including new price, models, V6 engine, handling, specs and more.
Volkswagen has repriced its Touareg large SUV with a few thousand dollars off on the base 170TDI grade (plus a bunch of previously optional equipment now included), while the 210TDI Elegance and 210TDI R-Line grades have had their prices slashed by higher amounts.
The Touareg is a rival to the likes of the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes GLE - and even the Toyota Prado Kakadu and Ford Everest Platinum.

Thank heavens it does not have 7 seats. Not everyone wants to carry around a tribe or the extra weight of unwanted seats. Thanks for spending some time talking about the headlights too, although it would be nice if there was some footage of them in use, something that seems sadly lacking in almost every car review since the beginning of time.
Volkswagen was keen to point out that many people like yourself prefer a five-seat layout, though I know some would appreciate the option in an SUV this big.
We purchased a Tiguan Allspace Adventure, 5 seater, no need for 7 in our case. More boot space and can fit a full size spare. A great car at 60% of the price.
Correct!
AU doesn't get the VW Atlas. If so, the whole picture completes and everyone gets what they want(5 or 7 seats) happily.
10:30 Are we reviewing the same car here?
Whoops! Mixed up the 'T' names. My apologies - TP
Didn’t show spare wheel type?
Beautiful dashboard
It is!… but for some reason it doesn’t looks anywhere “as nice” as the previous Touareg (beige interior) I saw recently. Maybe it’s because it’s filmed, black interior or a subtle change in styling!?🤷♂️
Agreed, hate the dashes that have superglued a large iPad on the dash
Upcoming prodo 250 will be best seller in this medium suv segment unless VW drops their price around 65-70k drive away
A.MA.Z.I.N.G love love love love
that lower grill gets bigger and bigger with every update
It's a Touareg, not a Tiguan @10:32mins change please
+9K for drive away? seems crazy
what happened to tom baker? hasn't done a review for a while
I could get a Q7 with an extra two seats
When they start making reliable cars maybe their sales will also pick up.
Horrendous alloy wheels design om 170 Tdi was holding it back in previous generation. It seems to be fixed now ! And why does VW not fit the better engine that gets shipped to other markets ? This engine is straight from their UTEs. Not fair
Nice review, Touareg actually looks okay. Unfortunately, though Volkswagen poor reputation for warranty and service means I would give this vehicle a miss, not even a so-called price reduction would entice me to purchase this vehicle.
I would be worried about the reliability issues of the VW . I personally would purchase a Toyota prado instead 👍
The new Prado does look good!
Exactly why the heck would anyone get this over the new prado. Unreliable, depreciation is insane and an old platform.
New Prado looks good but the price is getting up there, especially if you compare the features on offer in the Touareg. I have also read a few complaints about the poor head room in the Lexus GX550 (Toyota Prado) especially in the second row.
Also, the Prado interior doesn't look luxury, even on the upgraded variants.
@@kevinferguson530 headroom is a problem for anyone over 1.88m in a lot of Toyota vehicles with the B pillar cross bar. I found the Prado not too bad that we hired for an off road trip a few years ago.
Right, Toyota.... So, low power and high fuel use. 🤦 Do they still come with a cassette player and 1950's suspension technology?
It sounded a little like an advertorial to me... should we really be praising a cargo blind? Anyhow, the most useful feature that I heard is the range (1400km on highway). This would be handy for interstate travelling with a family on board. The least useful feature... the 15 inch screen.... drivers need to spend their time driving, not playing with a bloody screen.
EDIT: I almost forgot... No car should be towing a trailer that is heavier than the vehicle itself. Anyone doing this is just asking for trouble. It's irresponsible of manufacturers to advertise this. Besides, with a 280kg maximum lowball weight, you might struggle to get a 3.5 tonne trailer attached (rule of thumb is about 10%).
Unfortunatly this is how many car review channels work. Many get paid by car brands for ‘reviews’. Look at the current flood of chinese car reviews by oz channels.
It's not how this car review channel works, as any of our subscribers are keenly aware of.
Front grill doesn’t look appealing..
This platform is the same as the Porsche.
I would rather say the Porsche is the same as this platform.
Never again, another VW!
love vw
Way better than the atlas
$100 K for a VW ! You are joking !?
100k for a Toyota!
Volkswagen makes Audi and always with the Touareg it fought with BMW and Mercedes.
Which planet do you live on?
This platform is the same as the Porsche.
@@acde9355 yea the difference between the two is that Toyota will be much more reliable and would definitely have better resale value.
The front is very disappointing. It looks like VW took inspiration from the previous generation Amarok. The interior fit’n’finish looks abit average too.
Cupra are the only VAG brand doing anything even remotely interesting with their exterior styling these days
front is very nice
@@thiagolima5232… if you have 60% impaired vision!😝
Making the LC Prado 250 even more awkward.
Too close to q7 money
Q7 starts at $116,400 before on-road costs, so nearly $30,000 higher
Those wheels are ugly and very cheap looking
This platform is the same as the Porsche.
VW Please hire a good designer , it looks so old . Inside and outside .
V W and Diesel engines 😂
Those wheels are just awful and not befitting of a “luxury” suv
With$130,000I will buy the Landcruiser with no headache and much better overland capbilities!
The Touareg has zero overlanding/off-road capabilities. It doesn’t even have low range 😂
