Used Volkswagen Touran for sale

What types of used Volkswagen Touran cars are there?

A used Volkswagen Touran is an MPV (multi-purpose vehicle), otherwise known as a people carrier, that offers families the freedom to carry lots of luggage and passengers for longer journeys or school runs/commutes.   

It's one of the most practical and sensible types of vehicle for the job, making the Volkswagen Touran the best-selling MPV in Europe back in 2017 before the rise of the SUV.   

With tech and parts passed over from the popular Golf, the Touran is a reliable car that also offers high levels of safety, which is just what you want from a family car. 

Although there are no hybrid options, the petrol and diesel engines are excellently efficient, and the optional smooth-shifting DSG automatic gearbox makes light work of longer journeys. 

Trims include the SE Family, SEL and R-Line.

What features does the Volkswagen Touran have?

Because this is a family MPV, we should probably start at the back and take a look at its vast amounts of interior space, such as the boot, which measures 137 litres in seven-seat more and 927 litres in five-seat mode. 

With all but the front two seats folded flat, there’s a 1,827-litre space, and enough room to fit items up to 2.7m long. 

Each model has a touchscreen infotainment system that’s easy to use and works seamlessly with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.   

Some other car tech, depending on trim level, includes a digital instrument cluster. Comforts like a dual- or three-zone climate control system, a powered boot lid, and keyless entry are all available. 

Is the Volkswagen Touran reliable?

Not only is Volkswagen a highly reliable and dependable brand, but the Touran also benefits from tried and tested parts from other models, like the Golf and Tiguan, including its engines and gearboxes. 

How much does the Volkswagen Touran cost to run?

Most drivers will end up opting for a 2.0-litre diesel unit, which combines performance and efficiency. It’s probably the better pick if you’re likely to carry lots of people or stuff regularly, but it should still be able to get respectable fuel economy figures. 

Who is the Volkswagen Touran suitable for?

Being a seven-seat model, you’d be forgiven for thinking that a used Volkswagen Touran makes the most sense for large families, but while this is true, many buy a Touran just for its hugely practical dimensions. 

Its main rivals include the Dacia Jogger, Citroen Berlingo and Ford S-Max.
