An All-New Generation of the Best-Selling MPV has arrived. Families have a very clear idea of what a vehicle perfectly tailored to their needs should offer. With their children on board, they need space - a lot of space for a comfortable life on the move. They also need storage bins and trays - lots of them. Variability is very important as well - for as many short or tall people as possible. Then there鈥檚 safety, for which no compromises will be accepted. Volkswagen had all of this in mind when developing the Touran, a vehicle that鈥檚 a true all-rounder. Whether it鈥檚 a trip to the football pitch, a drive to school or a holiday excursion - the Touran is the most popular MPV in Germany and also extremely successful in Singapore. The colour I have here is a Nutshell Brown Metallic colour. The Touran is available in two equipment levels - the Trendline and Comfortline.
Even the Trendline is very well equipped, with leather upholstery, cruise control, automatic headlamps and wipers, an electronic vehicle immobiliser and the new Pure Air Climatronic system all coming as standard. The Comfortline has even more equipment, including a multi-function steering wheel, rear view camera and panoramic sunroof. An additional equipment package (EQP) comprising four features - LED headlights, keyless entry and starting, driving profile selection and Front Assist - can be ordered for both the Trendline and Comfortline models. The model that I'm having here is the Comfortline (EQP) - The Best of All! Back design of the Touran is nice and simple. The new Touran is a multitalented vehicle with a self-assured air. The roof line drops down slightly towards the rear, giving the car a dynamic, self-assured air, further helped by a powerfully contoured silhouette which succeeds in combining ample interior space with compact proportions that promise agile performance. Its timeless exterior design has one overriding purpose, however: to offer you as much room as possible for everything you need within a remarkably small footprint.
As a result, the new Touran's ease of manoeuvrability when driving in the city is matched by its great comfort on long holiday trips. The front end of the new Touran has a stylish and dynamic appearance. Its sporty, assertive feel makes a great impression. Distinctive radiator grille with stylish chrome strips, black air intake grille and dynamically sculpted headlights: the unmistakable Volkswagen design idiom shines through to particularly stunning effect in the vehicle's front end. An eye-catching tornado line reinforces the dynamic look, forming a V-shaped swage that gives added impact to the Touran's profile. Keep everything perfectly in view: the sporty, elegant LED headlights on the Comfortline model put their distinctive stamp on the front end of the new Touran. They include a cornering light function and LED daytime running lights. Their superior lighting power and original design emblazon the vehicle's front end with an even sportier lighting signature compared to standard halogen headlights. LED headlights produce light that is close to the quality of daylight, and they are both more efficient than halogen bulbs and last longer.
The front fog lights provide additional illumination in inclement weather. The direct-injection turbocharged 1.4 TSI engine in the Touran is a completely new design. Producing 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque, it delivers strong performance (0-100 km/h in only 8.9 seconds) while consuming only 5.6 L/100km of fuel in the combined driving cycle. The Touran is fitted as standard with automatic engine stop/start and battery regeneration systems as standard. For Trendline it will be 16-inch alloy wheels. The new Touran comes with a highly convenient multifunctional centre console including various stowage facilities as standard. It includes two cup holders and storage compartments at the front, while there is also a small storage net in the front-passenger footwell that is ideal for holding flat objects such as books or a tablet PC. The leather-covered steering wheels for the new Touran put you firmly in control of both the car and all the main systems and displays in its interior. The leather multifunction steering wheel fitted as standard in the Touran Comfortline, meanwhile, lets you control the radio, telephone and multifunction display, for example, without having to take your hands off the wheel.
