In full HD, full screen, and full length. Let's go!!!!!!! 😁

[@Sophiacalate]

Well done Autogefühl team! Claus and me are looking forward to see you at the next event Thomas! ☺️👍🏼

[@bondisteve3617]

Sensational! Great machine. Thanks again Thomas.

[@aniki937]

When I saw you sitting on such recognizable rock for me, I was pretty sure that you were in Morocco. I'm glad you are Thomas, and hope you'll get the best hospitality they can offer you. I'm proud to be part of your subscribers. Choosing my country of origin to test the «Touareg» is a nice reference Merci et encore une fois, bravo ! Danke schön

[@autogefuehl]

love the Meze menus =)

[@tomxaak]

very very high quality, comprehensive review. great job.

[@Sandpitrikko]

Thomas, I've been speaking English as pretty much my only language for 53+ years and yet I still wish that I spoke it as well as you. Another great review. I owned a series II Touareg with air suspension and high/low range transmission, it was a remarkably capable off road vehicle out of the box. This looks a little soft in comparison. Nice tech anyway.

[@autogefuehl]

Appreciated Rick!

[@AndrewKNI]

Great review Thomas. The new Touareg must be huge, even you look small standing beside it. The Touareg looks fantastic. A top notch quality motor.

[@autogefuehl]

always good to have u here!

[@n4jdi409]

The is the most beautiful vehicle made by VW

[@hfwilkesjr]

Great video, thank you! I’m in the US and I agree with VW’s decision not to bring the Touareg here. The Touareg does not have a cult following like the Land Cruiser, the 4Runner, the Wrangler, or LR in the off road market. Without the dedicated off roaders, the Touareg would be compromising sales of the Atlas, the Q5, Q7 and upcoming Q8. Unfortunately there isn’t a business model for it here but I’m happy it exists and appreciate the review.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks m8 !

[@karlfranks35]

Great review as always Thomas 👌🏻👍🏻

[@guidogori8002]

great video as usual, thanks...but Here, man, the beauty of the landscape is the best thing to see and not the car... ;-)

[@habbaw]

Looks like a tough build suv and good off road capable, thank you for the review

[@erikthie2253]

I hope they bring this to Canada as well! My Touareg TDI is 5 years old and I really need a new one!

[@stephenshacklady9766]

In your reviews Thomas can you show the leg room in the rear with the front seats in their rear most position. Great review, keep up the good work.

[@Elijah-cy9do]

Wunderbar!

[@brenthobby3282]

Thomas and team, you have got to see the new 2018 Jeep Unlimited (4 door) Wrangler Rubicon, it’s like no other Wrangler ever made. Your review would be greatly appreciated. Love the channel, my favorite on KZbin by far

[@autogefuehl]

we ll test that one soon!

[@solid1378]

Another excellent review again Thomas, thank you! Also, thank you for standing up for us Yanks who are clamoring to have VW offer this vehicle in the US. I agree that it's a major mistake to not offer it in North America, and hope VAG realizes that, and reverses their decision.

[@autogefuehl]

:-)

[@beyond-the-limit]

Great job guys!!! Mach weiter.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks =)

[@Moisi547]

So much respect to you guys for the great work you do.👍 I hope the upcoming VW atlas Crosssport will be a proper replacement for the Touareg, because I personally love the Touareg very underrated here in the US.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks marcel!

[@amrashraf9559]

@@autogefuehl this touareg vs the volvo xc90 vs the audi q7 Which is more solid and durable and reliable for at least 10 years of usage ?

Even the Touareg has giving in o the video game crowd and giving up on the off road capability

[@tonyzee9931]

Haven't owned or been interested in a VW for a while but this new offroad capable Touareg 3 is amazing! I would love to have one in the US. Hopefully you are correct and they revise their view of selling it in the North American market. If VW brings this car over, I would definitely get it!

[@NunoOsswald]

Great video.

Hi Thomas, wich type of AWD system does this model have? Is it Torsen? Thank you!

[@autogefuehl]

Classic AWD

nice photobomb =)

[@czuczups]

Great review. Area view is not available until November, I've read somewhere. Innovision cockpit is too pricey and overcomplicated, but looks better than the 9.2 inches discover pro with all those empty buttons around the screen. I like the ruggedness of touareg II.

[@autogefuehl]

thanks!

[@golfbuddy1969]

Excellent video as always. Is this basically a bargain Porsche Cayennne, except not much of a bargain really, is it?

[@BastianJahn]

Yesterday I saw one parking, it looks really nice and is big like a tank.

[@itechiwizard83]

It still has a manually adjustable steering wheel. But anyways. It's a cool car. Very nice review.

[@RandomGuyOnTheWeb]

Hi Thomas. Which Infotainment do you prefer? Audi's new MMI or this one?

[@tipazas]

Very cool location selected for presentation indeed. And the car is really great, although i'm not a big fan of more than compact class cars.

[@autogefuehl]

enjoy watching =)

such a great SUV, not available in North America, so sad...

[@SanthoshRagavendran]

Great car. I love 3rd Gen Touareg

[@mogame2114]

you were not able to see the map because of the internet coverage, the area where the test were conducted had only GSM coverage, if you got to a higher alt you would of got some 3G+ or 4G+ signal or the highway or cities, but it all depends on the car's cellular antenna

[@remusciobanu3802]

I think the previous generation was much better in off road.

[@kamala80]

Thomas I hope you are correct about VW bringing back the Touareg back to the U.S. The Titan leaves a lot to be desired. I'm in the market for an SUV in the coming 9 months and I'd definitely get a Touareg if I could.

[@LuvvSURYA]

The off-road drive through the Atlas mountain must be very scary!! Isn’t it? At least that’s what it appeared to me. At one point I closed my eye because, well, I thought... errr... 😬😬😬, you know 😉. How were you so calm and kept reviewing the car while driving? I’m eagerly awaiting the review of 4.0L V8 TDI Touareg.

[@autogefuehl]

yeah it is really close with those abysses!

[@stephenhendricks103]

I'm sure VW would like the public to believe that the cost of crash testing in the US was behind the decision not to export the new Touareg to North America. But that explanation doesn't ring true. In fact neither of the earlier generations of the Touareg sold well in the US and there is every reason to believe that the third generation would have done just as badly. The US replacement for the Touareg, the Atlas, on the other hand has significantly outsold the earlier generations of the Touareg. I've already seen more Atlases here in the Seattle area than I saw in a decade of the Touareg. It's a lesson VW should have learned with the ill-fated Phaeton years ago. They did learn it with the Passat. There's little doubt that the European Passat is superior to the US version but there is likewise no doubt that the larger, lower priced American version increased sales of the Passat several fold here. The bottom line is that the brand perception of VW in the US differs greatly from that in Europe. Though the Touareg is priced as a premium or even a luxury SUV, the American market simply does not see VW as a luxury brand. For example, Europeans happily pay the equivalent of up to $20,000 more for a GTI than Americans. In the US, a $50,000 GTI is simply not a viable offering. Put an Audi badge on the Touareg in the US and it might be a different story. It may be a bitter pill to swallow for VW fans in the US (like me), but Americans' priorities (including in SUV's) and brand perceptions constrain what VW is able to market successfully here.

[@autogefuehl]

Yeah as I said, they didnt expect enough sales so that the costs for homologation would have paid off. I still think it would be important for their lineup in the US.

[@stephenhendricks103]

I certainly would have loved it. My wife and I were shopping for a crossover earlier this year and ended up getting a Kia Sorento rather than a VW Atlas. Apart from the price difference for an equivalent trim, my wife found the Atlas simply too large. Apparently that's a plus for many Americans. Not for us. As I said, though, there seems to be much stronger price resistance for VW products in the US than in Europe. I suspect that slapping an Audi badge on the Touareg would make a big difference here. Unfortunately, it might well cannibalize Audi SUV sales.

[@autogefuehl]

yes indeed that was my 2nd main point, there is difference conception of VW brand in the different countries. In the US, people obviously wouldnt spend so much money on VW like they do in Europe

[@Rebel.s197]

I love the tires that are on the Touareg, seem like they can conquer everything. What I wonder now is if there will be such an in-depth offroad review of the Mahindra KUV100, which despite the lack of air suspension, can really challenge some of these dirt roads. Please, Thomas, address the lack of this information in the channel

[@autogefuehl]

We cannot get any Mahindra vehicles here unfortunately...

[@andrw8946]

Hi Thomas, Do you find new VW cars to be closer in terms of class to BMW Audi and Mercedes? I mean has the VW cars become more luxurious than before? If your answer is yes, do you think this is good thing, like are their cars good in terms of luxury and good for the already established name of VW? Can this Toureg compare with GLE and X3 or X5?

[@Johnyjohny-os9cj]

Andro Dimitrov its definetely good thing vw is big company they have wide range of models for everyones wallet,i think that ve touareg can compete to some luxurious brands

[@sic22l]

Not really. Touareg is the most expensive VW to it got some of the best echnologies VAG Group has to offer but in the same car you'll find much more cheap plastics than in the premium competition. As for other models I'd say VW did a step back, T-Roc is not luxurious whatsoever, it has disgustingly cheap interior.

[@autogefuehl]

definitely

[@autogefuehl]

The Touareg is in no way "less" than GLE, X5, Q7

[@andrw8946]

But isn't that opposite of what Volkswagen really translates from German. I mean since when VW is a luxury brand, instead of people's car. Does this mean that luxury is not so expensive anymore or the middle people class in Germany has become richer? Or maybe VW just wants to be a more premium brand, since they have Skoda and Seat? I wonder which answer is the correct one.

[@gracemalley6821]

I am driving a 2012 Toureg TDI, waiting for a re-release of the latest version in the U.S.

[@Sevy89]

@ 16:21 Check out Jon Olsson's Mercedes G Wagon without roof :P

[@TheGrizzlyNinja]

Overall styling reminds me of a mk7 jetta SUV. I really dig it and I agree that it’s a huge missed opportunity for VW not to bring this to the states. The Atlas doesn’t look anything near to this quality, Atlas is purely built to be a cost-cutter and I would never buy one. I actually prefer the new Tiguan hands down and I’m glad that refresh finally made it here.

[@DSGAuto]

Will the hybrid version here in EU be a 2.0tsi or 3.0tdi as the Audi Q7?

[@RobertLeBlancPhoto]

It’s like a Range Rover. It’s €80K, so who’s gonna actually take this on some serious off roading?

[@Smelmanov]

Hope you enjoyed the stay. You have followers from Morocco. The 53:5 ride is the perfect 4x4. And is far cheaper.😂😂😂

[@autogefuehl]

🤣🤣

[@lukem9707]

Great car and great review! Touareg did not sell well in the States probably due to rounded body design and a price that pushed into a BMW/MB territory. Americans don't pay attention to interior quality much but love aggressive and tough off road look. I had a chance to drive a new Tacoma 4x4 and the interior is just horrible with poorly fitted plasticks, hard plastic everywhere, it felt like a basic utility truck but was priced at $40k.

[@autogefuehl]

Cheers!

[@guniseran]

They nailed on the first generation, and everything else is write off. What's up with that front grill?

[@twigda]

Thomas what feels more luxurious this or a fully optioned Volvo XC60?

Too bad the soft closing doors are not available in the U.K. - Why is that?

[@NigelRudyard]

Very smart. I wonder how many people will actually go proper off-roading with it, though?

[@kenharding2558]

Would need a different set of wheels and tyres for anything like "off-roading"

[@shannonjude1]

i think with the right lease from vw financial, vw would not be able to keep these in stock and also male a killing on certified preowned ones at end of lease... its also very nice looking, not as handsome as Thomas, of course, but close.

[@autogefuehl]

=)

[@MysticMaven]

And of course I can't get this in the USA. Every VW I want they aren't selling here. Pretty sad.

[@ambassadorofpain1]

Maybe if Americans would stop buying shit cars that they make over there you would get something better.

[@3204clivesinclair]

USA get the VW Atlas, in UK we dont.

[@GooseVan]

@@3204clivesinclair Atlas is garage.

[@Mogsy28uk]

same with other manufacturers, we want the Edge ST in UK/EU, Ford thinks we cant cope with the V6 petrol!!

[@theApe-X]

There will be Atlas Sport that is more premium and it will be closer to the Tuareg in size and options than to the regular Atlas.

[@theApe-X]

An forgot to mention, better looking and cheaper than the Tuareg :P

[@solid1378]

A pig with lipstick is still a pig. The Atlas couple will still be below the Touareg.

[@theApe-X]

Well, it has a pig's name but it's not a pig. Yes, it will be bellow the Touareg but not by much and it will be much cheaper. I like the Atlas Sport better because it has an American appeal to it, I don't like the trend that SUV's are taking, they all look like larger cars.

[@solid1378]

I have inspected the Atlas and it's cheap outside and very cheap inside. Yeah they will sell lots of these in America, but it will all fall apart because it's cheaply made.

[@LuvvSURYA]

I was wondering if the dieselgate scandal is the reason why VW is not considering bringing Touareg to The US. Further, VW has faced maximum penalty in the United States as compared to anywhere around the world. Perhaps, this might be the reason why VW is playing safe and going slow in The US market. It’s just my speculation. Nevertheless, I’m from India and VW is quite popular here, especially the Polo (the only popular and practical car VW has to offer for Indian market). Its very disappointing that VW didn’t introduce any of the newer models that it offered in other market for as long as year ago. It’s about time that VW should revise its entire range for Indian market (incl. Polo). Touareg is one eagerly awaited SUV that was long gone from Indian market. With competition getting steamed up with Q7, X5, XC90 etc, VW should seriously consider bringing Touareg to India as soon as possible to get an upper hand. They’ve already earned bad rep with dieselgate and this is their, perhaps, last but golden chance to earn people’s trust in the company.

[@autogefuehl]

Might also play a role

[@zaphod2]

5:29 a 340hp V6 engine and 9.1s from 0-100? Not quite. It`s more like 5.9s.

[@autogefuehl]

Yes sorry, 5,9 Sek. is correct. Misread my own handwriting =)

[@1bboyred1]

[@autogefuehl]

[@ReeDo0x]

in the interior all is new only the steering wheel is old :(

[@XavieRibeiro25]

I have no idea why they keep with that ugly design. I mean, at least copy the Up!. It's much better.

[@firebolt2310]

The interior looks very similar with the 2019 Audi Q8

[@LuvvSURYA]

Ummm... I was wondering if I wanted a real hardcore off-road vehicle that’s also fuel efficient, should I go for the Touareg or the one that I saw at the end of your review? 😂😂😂

[@autogefuehl]

=)

[@zech007]

VW Touareg was already too expensive for its class, and fact that we hardly have any options that the EURO get, such as Air suspension, 2 speed transfer case, sparse engine choice, and its market target was too much (ie starting family) and not very practical for larger families. The Atlas was born to replace the VW touareg , make it 20k cheaper, make it larger, make it very praticle and slap a very good long warranty and there you have it,a breadwinner suv, and the atlas just sells like hot cakes. I see more Atlas than any other models ie golf, passat, tiguan, ect

[@monkibonbonki8846]

So what?vw cant compare with BMW anyway

[@mariodagostino6401]

Too expensive for the US market due to internal vw competition with audi and porsche

[@skagerstrom]

Not sure if I would say that VW has a premium image in Europe. Sure - they have some expensive cars. At least here in Sweden we have this issue about VW beeing a discount Audi - and not in a bad way really. Why buy an A4 when you can get a Passat? Why pay for a Passat when you can get a Superb? Of course there are differences that might justify the price premiums - but there is no real difference in the build quality. Sometimes you get the same switchgear, stearingwheel etc. I think it's a bit of a problem of VAGs parts bin philosphy. All brands get kind of bland.
