This is the greatest Vehicle I've ever driven, I absolutely love it!!! If you notice this car, see the price tag and move on because its a VW; you're doing yourself an injustice. It handles and performs like a sports car, it rides and feels like a luxury suv, it tows like a full size truck, it performs admirably off road, and It has stunning looks without being pretentious. I've been a Toyota/Lexus person for a long time and for whatever reason, I thought negatively of VW. After searching and searching for an SUV that has good gas milage, could tow , fits my outdoor lifestyle, and is a comfy fun everyday driving car; my search kept leading me to the Touareg. I tested it over and over again, compared it to every comparable vehicle in the market and I couldn't find a reason not buy this car. I get 575 miles on a tank of gas, it tows my airstream with ease, takes my buddies and I to Colorado for mountain bike trips in luxury, and It puts a smile on my face every time I get behind the wheel. Its an absolutely joy to drive.

Like no other vehicle. There is no other vehicle period that can tow, handle, 4wd traction, and accelerate like this vehicle...and still get 30 mpg cruising at 70 mph down the highway. Fast. Quiet. Reliable. Incredible torque and towing ability. Very attractive...in and out. Crazy solid. Overbuilt. A Porsche Cayenne in plain clothes. As long as VW makes them...I will own one.

The GREAT: For the most part this is an exceptional vehicle. The 3L Diesel is the best engine ever put in an SUV...we'll see following the recall. 30 MPG on the freeway; 28 MPG over and back a mountain pass; 700 mile range; what is not to like about that? My Touareg that tows nearly 8000 pounds gets better fuel economy then my brother-in-law's toy Forrester. The not so Great: For the price, it is fairly technologically behind the pack. None of the new generation of active safety features (lane keeping, radar cruise, auto breaking) are included. While there is a just fair quality back-up camera and a good interior display, there is absolutely nothing up front...no beep, beep sensors, nothing. Rather an oversight in a vehicle of this class. The interior is average, but nice. Exterior is boring, but a great wolf-in-sheep's-clothing. Every bit the value and capability of an ML350 Bluetec without the vandal-bait 3-point star. If you're looking to fly beneath the radar, this is your SUV. 2020 update—Still loving it. Maintenance is a little steep, but nothing outside the norm for European cars. Drove it from West Yellowstone to Portland, OR on a single tank of fuel (33 MPG/800 miles of range).

Best car I have owned in the past 10 years. It isn’t a rocket, but is quick enough to merge into the highway and get up to speed without a sweat. I never get tired of that shove in the back when it gets off from a stop. It tows very well, I find the driver’s seat very adjustable, best sitting position of all cars I’ve owned so far, very comfortable. The ONLY bad thing is that sadly, VW of America has discontinued it and I won’t be able to get a new one. We will probably drive it until it dies or until VW comes back to senses.

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 owned a decent number of cars in my 30+ years of driving. Honda (x3), Mazda (x2), Volvo (x2), Chevy (x2), Nissan, VW (x2), and even a Triumph. My Touareg is my overall favorite. The combination of performance, power, efficiency, comfort, and luxury is simply perfect for me. The TDI is peppy, powerful, and smooth. It’s fun to drive. (Maybe not quite as much as my Mazda RX-8 was, but it gets far better mileage and is far more reliable). It’s exceedingly comfortable. The interior materials are nice and have a great feel. The features and controls are well placed and actually functional. But I also like that it’s not ostentatious and looks pretty staid on the outside. A definite wolf in sheep’s clothing, with the only hint of the wolf being the matte black 20” wheels. I will keep my Treg on the road as long as humanly possible (and hopefully find another when that time comes). My only regret is that I didn’t find the Treg sooner.

Just bought one of the "re-engineered Touaregs that have been coming on the marketing. Car was the dealer's car, so I don't think it was ever taken out of service, but I could be wrong. With 19,000 miles on it I purchased it for 28% off list price which I consider a fair deal, but not a great deal. I had my eye on one of these for some time, and had watched a number of reviews, mostly very favorable. Overall, the car in white looks very sharp and people sometimes confuse it for a Porsche (built on the same platform as the Cayenne). So far, so good with the car. It has a great ride,-handling balance, the diesel motor gets me around 21 mph overall driving in sport mode, it is quiet and overall a very nice vehicle to be in and to drive.

Poor Quality Poor VW Customer Service

Update: After having severe transmission issues and many attempts to work with VW (I was hung up on by the customer advocate) I decided to sell my Toureg. I lost about $9000 getting out of this terrible car. I love my new car. I will NEVER buy another vehicle from VW. They are not trustworthy or ethical. There are a lot of manufacturers out there, stay away from VW. My 2015 Touareg has transmission issues, and issues with the Infotainment Center. I actually backed into a car because the backup camera shut off as I was backing up. Bluetooth quality is poor. Transmission does not shift well at lower speeds. My car has developed rattling noises that I cannot track down. I don't know what happened but VW seems to be cutting corners in the wrong area's. Quality Control is suffering. Dealership told me too bad. :( Update: After having my car in for service 8 times, the dealership (VW Scottsdale) told me the transmission issue was between me and VW. I opened a case with VW corporate, the representative told me they were dealing with bigger issues and hung up on me, closed my case. The transmission was unsafe at times as it would not shift up or down when accelerating, it would clunk and jerk at times, other times it shifted ok. Bottom line was VW did not want to correct the issue. They also had not intention of fixing the infotainment system. It takes 4-5 minutes for the system to boot up. They told me the best they could do was to disable Sirius and that would help the boot process. The dealer (General Manager at VW Scottsdale) told me he would buy my car for $34,000. His first offer was $40,000, when I told him I would take it he reduced his offer to $38,000. When I complained he further reduced his offer. I have lost all confidence in VW, especially the VW Scottsdale dealership. I finally traded in my VW Touareg for a Ford F 150 (which I love!). I lost over $12,000 in owning the Touareg for 14 months. Worst vehicle I have ever owned in 35 years of driving. Worst dealership and people I have ever done business with (VW and the Dealership).

Materials, fit and finish

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.

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.

Unfortunately these cars are not available now thanks to “Dieselgate”. I highly recommend you buy one if you can get your hands on one. Zero troubles in over 3 years of ownership. 30 mpg Hwy!!! City driving about 24 mpg.

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.

The car was a great car until 152K miles. It's going in for the 3rd time for leaking radiator coolant. $2400 repair bill to replace a supposed gasket leak, it went back for the 2nd time for the same faulty gasket now it's going back again. It was in the shop for over a week each time.

Google VW mlb platform and you will see that the Touareg’s shell comes from the VW Slovakia assembly plant. Bentayga and Lambo Urus also use this MLB evo platform. 1st Gen Touareg (7L) model year 2003-2010 the first true German suv designed by VW group. 2004-2008 there was a V10 TDI extremely unreliable, every repair requires to drop the engine on a special lift. 2nd Gen Touareg (7P) model year 2011-2017 had better reliability and didn’t offer the air adjustable suspension. Be sure to get the TDI monster torque with 700+ mile range averaging 28mpg. 3rd Gen Touareg (CR) model year 2018-present. This Gen was canceled for the American market. Porsche Cayenne (9Y) was the only version you can get but no TDI. 2023 update: I have owned my 2015 Executive TDI from 100k-130k miles now with zero major repairs. It does eat up tires due to a full time 4 wheel drive system (40-60% to the rear) and the front brakes rotors take a beating the calibers are OEM brembo the tank curb weight is more than 5000lb. For diesel TDI Oil change make sure you are using a 507 spec oil. VW OEM bottle is a Mobile 1 ESP (5w30) and my personal preference is a oil brand made in Germany called Liqui Moly 4200 (5w30) this company use to make engine oil for fighter planes during WWII. The ride is a perfect balance between a sports car and a utility vehicle with just enough ground clearance that can get you through 90% of the apocalypse. This is the biggest hidden gem in the used car market. Until they bring back the Touareg stateside, I’m ok with paying $150 oil change at VW dealer instead of a $500 Cayenne oil change. Some other reviewer said it right; this folks-va-gun is a Wolf 🐺 in sheep skin.

This is the 2nd Touareg (T) I've owned and the 4th VW. I love almost everything about VW. The affordable luxury, the clever, intuitive and practical technology as well as the sturdy nature of the vehicles build. The only things I would tweak are (and this may have been something specific to my 2014 T) the jumpy acceleration. When I pushed on the gas, my T had a tendency to lurch versus smoothly take off. Other than that, almost everything else was a joy.
