What some may not know or remember is that the Touareg and the Porsche Cayenne are based on the same platform. It's like Chevy Suburban and Cadillac Escalade. The big differences are styling and engine. If you don't require more hp, the V6 is more than capable to take you anywhere you need to go. The diesel has a ton more torque, so that might be the engine if you need more oomph. The materials, fit and finish in this car are a step above and I think feels better than new VW. Plastics are high quality, it feels very solid, and doors shut with a vault like quality. I love the car so far. I purchased an 'R' line, so styling is a bit more sporty and I think looks much better than the standard Touareg, although they still basically the same. It's too bad they still don't offer this high quality vehicle. VW tried going upmarket with this car and the Phaeton. I guess Americans weren't keen on the idea of spending that much money on a VW, but they were definitely worth it. Nissan started Infiniti brand to go upmarket. Toyota started Lexus. Honda started Acura. Mazda almost started the Amati brand but backed off when the economy slowed in the early 90's. Mazda still brought what would have been an Amati to market as the Mazda Millenia while having the 626 and 929. The Millenia was the much nicer car and even had a solar panel in the sunroof that powered a fan to help keep the car cool on hot days. But I digress. . The Touareg is fantastic. It still looks clean and fresh even though it is about 10 years old. The design has aged well and I think will continue to do so. I'm a new big fan of this SUV.

Excellent cruising and acceleration blows away most competitors. Superb fit and finish. User friendly controls. Great on rough New York City streets. Car subject to NOX emissions repair without significant performance drop and a fair settlement from VW. Too undervalued to trade so gave it to daughter who will add plenty of miles.

Steering wheel shake

2013 Volkswagen Touareg VR6 Lux 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

I purchased a slightly used 2013 VW Touareg VR6 LUX approx. 4 weeks ago. Upon driving home from the dealer I noticed that between the speeds of 60 and 75 mph the steering wheel would shake back and forth. This was confirmed over many miles and all types of road surfaces. The car would also pull to the right as well as exhibit a vibration in the seat. The car has now spent 3 weeks at the dealer and after approx. 20 tires and countless road force balancing the issue still exists. VW, in an apparent attempt to limit their liability, is blaming the tires. They now refuse to attempt any more repairs and have told me to pick the car up. They acknowledge the issue to still to be present.
NICE CAR, BUT GET A RAIN COAT

Volkswagen just settled a class action lawsuit because many of their vehicles with factory sunroofs leaks in earlier production cars. Apparently they still have not fixed the problem with the touareg. I have been to the dealer for the problem to get repaired and they claimed it was fixed and it was not. Off to the dealer again. Wouldn't it be better if they just corrected the issue. Anyway, it is a nice car, but I certainly don't think it is worth the problems. I would certainly look at other cars in its class unless you want to bunk out at the service department the first year you own the car.
Best Diesel SUV for the money

I bought the 2013 VW Tuareg TDI. I am a car adjuster and I know the automotive field very well. The TDI is by far the best diesel SUV for the money. Has probably one of the best overall quality interiors and the driving performance is out of this world for a 6 cylinder and has a very quiet diesel engine. zzzzz The 2013 VW Tuareg is the best kept secret... till my review.
10 years later. Worth it.

I purchased a 2013 Touareg Sport in 2023. And I'm an completely satisfied. Its just so smooth of a ride. And the interior is definitely refined and high end for the class of vehicle it's in. I love my vehicle and I do t have much negativity about it, I've only owned it a month. I have the tan interior and the Vienna leather is beautiful. The nav and dash is clean and clear. All around a great truck that does feel like a smaller vehicle. Gets 0-60 in about 7 seconds so it's definitely not slow. Fun to drive and very stylish. I appreciate the work the Volkswagen people put into the vehicle. I am a happy owner. Gas mileage is as expected for an SUV. If your having second thoughts just go and give it a test drive.

This auto is fast, quiet, roomy…incredible performance and comfort. The only thing lacking are the current-day safety and infotainment options.

Traded in my '11 Cayenne S. I would say the VW is 90% of the Porsche for about 60% of the price. Actually, I like the slightly simpler interior and the easier ingress/egress from the seats. Feels substantial and drives really well. Quality seems very high. Nice car to fly around without attracting a lot of attention. Excellent fuel economy and you truly can't tell its a diesel.

3000 miles in thirty days. Meets or exceeds expectations. Mixed highway and city driving nets 26mpg. Only trip of 1000 miles got 29 mph but highway speeds were 75mph plus. Compared to Porsche Cayenne diesel, no different except $25k less!
Awesome suv
