Why buy a used Volkswagen Touran?

The Touran may be one of the older models in Volkswagen's lineup but that's no bad thing. We've criticised the brand's recent efforts for their fiddly touch-sensitive controls, but the older Touran's cabin reminds us of a time when VW's interiors made sense. Everything is logically laid out with proper physical buttons and knobs for key controls, and there's a great sense of solidity if you start poking and prodding about.

S includes driver's seat height adjustment, Isofix mounting points on every seat in the second and third row, air conditioning and a basic infotainment system with Bluetooth.

SE gets 16-inch alloy wheels, silver roof rails, tinted rear windows, a roof storage compartment, auto lights and wipers, adaptive cruise control and all-round parking sensors.

SE Family brings a larger touchscreen with built-in sat nav, a panoramic sunroof, roll-up side window blinds, and a driver's voice-boosting function so you don't have to shout at your kids.

SEL adds larger alloy wheels, chrome trim and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto added to the infotainment system.

Sporty R-Line gains even larger alloy wheels and a meaner-looking body kit, plus special R-Line upholstery with splashes of faux-suede.

Owning a used Volkswagen Touran

The only thing that really matters to family MPV buyers is practicality, and the Touran scores straight-As here. Tall adults will be comfortable in either the first or second row, and it's actually possible to seat three across the second row without running out of elbow room. You still get a functional boot with all seven seats up, but you can swap this to a vast SUV-beating area simply by folding the back row down, or compete with some vans if you fold the second row, too.

MPVs aren't as widespread as they once were. Look to rivals like the Ford S-Max and Citroen Grand C4 Spacetourer, or the larger Volkswagen Sharan and Ford Galaxy.

Volkswagen Touran FAQs

The Touran comes in one version only – a five-door, seven-seater MPV with a large, hatchback-style boot lid.

Keep an eye out for SEL versions with extra chrome trim and R-Line models with sporty alloys and a sharp-looking body kit.

If you're shopping at this end of the market, it might also be worth looking at the Touran's bigger sibling, the Volkswagen Sharan, which has a slightly larger boot and a touch more room in the third row.

The Touran measures in just a shade over 4.5 metres long. While that's not exactly compact – taking up a little more space on the road than a Volkswagen Golf, for example – it's remarkably small considering how much cabin space the Touran offers. We'd suggest hunting down at least an SE-spec car that includes standard-fit parking sensors to take the hassle out of manoeuvring.

Inside, the Touran is simply massive. There's loads of space for very tall adults in the first and second rows, and you should be able to fit kids or shorter adults in the third row without anyone grazing their knees. Cargo space is either 'good', 'excellent' or 'ludicrous' depending on how many seating rows you have folded down.

There's just enough grunt in the entry-level petrol and diesel engines that you needn't upgrade to the more powerful units if your budget can't accommodate it.

That said, we think the Touran feels more relaxed on the road, especially when driving on the motorway, with either the 150hp 1.4/1.5-litre petrol engine, or the 150hp 2.0-litre diesel engine. These have the extra grunt to make light work of the car when it's loaded to the brim with passengers and cargo.

Volkswagen's DSG automatic gearboxes are widely offered with the more powerful engines and we think they suit the Touran's relaxed, easy-to-drive character.

Volkswagen tends to perform mid-table in reliability surveys. Nevertheless, most of the parts and engines used in the Touran are widely shared across the VW-Group, so sourcing replacements shouldn't be a problem.

You can maximise your Touran's reliability by keeping on top of scheduled maintenance. In addition, consider adding an extended warranty when you buy your car to protect from unexpected electrical or mechanical repair costs.

Buyers in this segment need practicality above all else and, in that regard, the Touran is an excellent car. There's loads of room for a cabin full of tall adults, along with Isofix mounting points on every seat in the second and third row giving parents plenty of options when setting up child seats.

Then, the Touran follows up by being devastatingly sensible – it's easy to drive, easy to use and easy to get in and out of.

This reveals perhaps the car's sole weakness – it knows how to appeal to the head but does little for the heart. The cabin's a bit dull and the driving experience is firmly set to 'soothe' rather than 'thrill'.
