2014 Volkswagen Touareg V6 R-Line 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 8A)
7 of 7 people found this review helpful
I drove a pickup truck for 25 years before getting tired of the bulk and getting a new 2014 Volvo S60 T6 that I had for six years and wanted something new. I looked at all types of cars and kept coming back to the Touareg. I looked for a month - test drove a number of TDI's but I wanted something with less miles - the TDI's were coming with VW warranties because of the diesel-gate issue but I couldn't find any with less than 60-70,000 miles on up. I found a 2014 VR6 R-Line in mint condition with 42,000 miles and I love it. The R-Line was only in the states for the 2014 model year - in both VR6 and TDI versions. People rave about the TDI's but I'm not a mechanic and right or wrong I just felt more comfortable buying the VR6. It has plenty of power. The only downside is it takes premium and with a 26 gallon tank - the extra half buck a gallon adds up. I love everything about it - performance - the quality of everything in the interior - huge panoramic sunroof, great stereo system and nav - everything just seems a step up and rock solid - handles great for an SUV and I think it's a really sharp vehicle. I don't envy anyone regardless of what they're driving when I'm in it. Try one - you'll love it.

Super refined and luxurious. Best value vs other luxury german suv brands. It hits the sweet spot of value for money and ability to make you feel special everytime you walk up to it. I also like that nobody really knows how nice it is because it is understated with the VW badge.

I've reached a point where build quality, materials used, fit and finish are much more important. Many of todays new vehicles are about size and qty. of the touch screens. The downside of these "big screens" and "car plays" and other electronics "trinkets" is cost cutting is painfully evident in many other very important areas. One is the seats. Unlike things like adaptive cruise control, seats are used every single time you get in the vehicle. The 3rd generation VW Touareg has outstanding seats. The vehicle I purchased, 2014 VW Touareg R-Line, not only has 12 way adjustable seats for driver and passenger, it's the size and shape of the seats, it's the quality of the leather used. These seats are some of the best "thrones" in any SUV at any price, new or used. Speaking of used, they also hold up very well. Go have a look at a late model GM SUV? Yukon Denali? any Chevy? Even the almighty Escalade, have a look at the seat cushion and seat cover after 40-50K? They are a joke. Cheap is an understatement on many of these vehicles. VW no longer offers the Touareg here in NA, they now have the car based Atlas. Crack the door open on one of those and compare the materials, fit and finish to a used Touareg and you will see what I mean. Like any vehicle, the Touareg has its weaknesses as well. They are more expensive to maintain than say a Jeep Grand Cherokee. If not properly maintained, they can cost a bundle to repair. These are highly capable vehicles with full time AWD. (4Motion in VW speak), as a result they are fairly heavy (about 4700#) and fuel economy suffers. Of course these were offered with an excellent 3.0L V6 diesel engine, which can (depending on usage) greatly improve fuel economy, but do your homework on fuel cost, cost to maintain, etc...see if it "works" for you? The other engine offered is a 3.6L V6. It has 280hp and in most situations it's more than acceptable, but a bit thirsty. When new, these vehicles came with a 10yrs. or 100,000 mile powertrain warranty. Many websites and even VW dealers have the powertrain warranty at 5yrs./60K?? That information is WRONG for the Touareg. Again, do your homework, check with VW of America directly. In summary, if you want a highly capable, well built, luxury SUV and your more interested in impressing yourself than the clueless masses, give the Touareg a look.

2014 Volkswagen Touareg V6 Sport 4dr SUV AWD w/Navigation (3.6L 6cyl 8A)

Just bought 2014 Sport with Nav two days ago after closely following Touareg's improvement for few years. Comparing with no less than 4 other SUV, we decided to take Touareg based on overall performance and its value. Certainly you can find few alternates which exceed Touareg in various areas, however Touareg impressed us with exceptional performance and overall value.
Porsche with a VW skin.

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.
