[@sxybasturd]

Shmee150 I have a new Tiguan besides night vision , and air suspension. it's the same with the tech . And I've been in this new truck a month back . It has all the same stuff

[@iliemircea6068]

Shmee150 great vid love the new vw good explication of the car love it

[@PorscheGTRSWeissach]

I don't like the big front grille... And why is every KZbinr ignoring the Lamborghini Nordschleife record lap???

[@PorscheGTRSWeissach]

Justice Warrior 6.44,97! What an amazing time and proof, N/A Supercars still able to keep up with Turbo cars! Driver had some trouble with shifting and sliding! I guess, some other professional driver would be 1-2 seconds faster... ;-)

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Kevin Koeberling I think because the Aventador is old and KZbinrs don't like it's drive and gearbox, they'll get on to it eventually but none of them are eager and whilst I personally am a little excited to hear more about it, I honestly couldn't blame them.

[@theomen826]

All the new Volkswagen models look great. Especially the Arteon

[@Shmee150]

To be honest they do have a very smart shape

[@CinemaUnited]

Nathan Judge The Arteon needs a new interior to match with the exterior.

[@syncdaryl]

I think the jetta is a little ugly

[@triss23199]

The Arteon is so underrated imo, it looks great

[@MrOpticBlade]

triss 23 I had the Arteon for a year and it’s a great car

[@greggtoney8163]

Very much enjoying the reviews of the vehicles from this series. As much as I enjoy your reviews of the super/hypercars, its so helpful to have your expertise extended to the market with broad appeal and everyday users. Keep going Tim!

[@Gladiator1972]

He got paid by WV for this review.

[@seamusburke3717]

In fairness Tim you do a fantastic job with these in depth car reviews. Your knowledge and the way you communicate to the viewer is outstanding. One of your greatest strengths. Well done.

[@discoverlight]

I feel something special for the Touareg, I still remember the first time I saw one on the street, I immediately loved it. And this techy third gen it’s amazing.

[@Erodenmark]

If you ask me this is the best looking suv ever made! Damn its beautiful! 😍

[@GTIracerr]

Very impressed by this SUV of Volkswagen. Looks cool! Good job, Wolfsburg!

[@dikohabib8055]

Not gonna lie, it looks brilliant!

[@Bryan-fg3ey]

Loving the way the headlights seem to ' disappear' very smart looking.

[@stuartcampbell4414]

That is one handsome car

[@peter-radiantpipes2800]

I’m planning on selling my Cayman S and this has been on my mind for quite a while. I’m pretty sure I’m getting a Tuareg this summer.

[@carlocarnevali7790]

Wow. The UI of that infotainment system was Laggy as hell. Reminded me of the Galaxy Next interface XD

[@wordreet]

Gotta say, it's a handsome beast!

[@kumarankarth86]

First time reporting on non exotic and super car content Tim. Keep it up. Love the content.

[@garydc1057]

Clear, concise, consistent, informative, professional and always perfectly weighted with detail, Shmee. Delivery excellent and seamless as always too. Frankly the only KZbin vehicle review channel worth watching if your quest is reliable, interesting relevant and 'to the point' information. Cheers.

[@kev8322]

You 100% need your own TV show brilliant at what you do I can never drive due to being partially sighted but the way you describe the whole driving experience makes me feel like I'm there driving myself! #topyoutuber

[@byates59]

I was 16 years old in 1975 and my first car was a GM Pontiac Firebird and it was great, but the technology today is light years more advanced! Thanks for the video!

[@apoorvasarde695]

I have been patiently waiting for your VW Touareg Video

[@Shmee150]

Thanks, hope you enjoy it

[@apoorvasarde695]

I always like your reviews because they are never disapointing.Loved this video too and keep doing what you are cause you're really good at this.

[@parrp1]

Great content Tim, whilst it is nice to see the supercar videos this series is really useful and informative on more affordable cars.

[@racoonzattack]

The front looks amazing! The new VW grille design looks great on the Toureg!

[@MATTFL380]

Interesting to hear what a reviewer who normally tests only the premium Products makes of a vehicle that doesn’t carry “the badge” I’ve been in one of these new Touareg’s and I can tell you now it’s one hell of a car! And so it should be starting at £49k!!!! Shmee normally tests cars that cost a lot more, so for him to be impressed with this car is saying something. Well done to VW for producing a more attainable premium quality car, cheaper than a Q7 and imo nicer looking, Hell I prefer it to a Bentayga (not that can afford any of them) but if I could buy a new Touareg I 100% would! Great review Shmee👍👍

[@uSpeakTruth]

I will never buy a car because of its brand.. I look for functionality, reliability, resale value and comfort. This Touareg has everything you need.. the torque power is impressive for an SUV.. it leaves the rest behind. I drive a 2014 Touareg TDI Executive. Never been much happier driving this powerful machine. I'm glad I don't see many on the road.. some Touaregs I've seen are mid 2000s and still look great. The US just stopped the manufacturing of diesel Touaregs due to their fantastic mpg against it's rivals. Get one while you can. Awesome review.

[@veemacks7255]

If you're thinking sad that it's a diesel, Volkswagen really do know their market. I just did a search on mobile.de (the biggest site for buying/selling cars in Germany) and there are currently 4,406 Touareg's for sale in Germany. I clicked on the Petrol ('Benzin') fuel type and that number suddenly dropped to 118 cars. That's not even 3% of those 4,460 Touaregs being Petrol. It probably fairly represents sales in Germany.

[@DeepThrottle]

Honestly this looks really cool premium and stylish from front

[@galsteinberg8010]

Love this series

[@ltl9474]

I always enjoy your reviews Tim, that one was very complete and with an excellent quality! Even my Dad has watched the video while being at work! Anyways, keep going Tim, we love the quality! Cheers!🍻

[@Irowned]

I don't understand people who don't like the diesel noise... I love it.

[@shaminmanoharan]

Exclusive car in an exclusive channel 😊

[@jaywhitney789]

Wow that is one hell of a car 😀

[@richardthomas175]

If you test drive one of these try pulling away quickly, there is an issue with the gearbox. You will find you will be able to count to at least three before it pulls properly.

[@tahmidchowdhury5804]

You have the best job ever travelling the world and driving cars every day, amazing

[@tomasmestanik9575]

I dont know why but i like that car a lot :) btw nice video shmee

[@MrJrdude5]

Great visualization as always Tim truly look forward to all your vids when are you coming to NYC.

[@redzoom7857]

When I bought my Touareg brand new in '15 I said to myself, "I'm gonna drive Touaregs the rest of my life" because I loved (and still do) it so much...little did I know they'd no longer be on sale once mine gets old. This new one is gorgeous and the tech is top notch!...smh

[@RMcarphotography]

Sick video love the volkswagen

[@lordsoly1020]

Really like this new diesel uras

[@bamphmx-5548]

A V8 TDI is also coming.

[@MrOpticBlade]

Christoph S. with 900nm of torque :o

[@MrKeepitup83]

Christoph S. Volvo xc90 t8 is bettr

[@bamphmx-5548]

Robbez Duy with 4 cylinders?!? And hybrid? Nah dude, nothing is better than a big TDI.

[@Biskawow]

I like this car, even though I'm not an SUV fan. GJ VW!

[@vongdong10]

My parents were set on a Q7 but I advised against because you need to pay a lot for extras that should come standard for the amount you even pay for the base- mid range models. The Tourage looks like great value for what you pay compared to other German SUV's.

[@blessonvlogs777]

Urus got a competition man.... This is not a sports car.... But... It's worth every every penny

[@GHotel-fb1or]

Beautiful car... one of the best SUV on the market. But that Steering wheel... No way.

[@PR-qt9gp]

That’s a luxury car here in Finland. Base prize is over 100 000€. We have one off the worlds highest cartaxes here.

[@neilbate2872]

Once again Tim, crackin review and your knowledge is second to non , nice one mate

[@stephencsiszar8199]

Thank you Shmee it was a fun and informative vlog

[@stevewilley1614]

Got rid of ours because the sunroof wind deflector was SO nosiey. It was quieter when we held it down with our hand while driving. If they failed so badly with that we didn't want to wait around to find out more. Traded it in !!!!!

[@meharbaloch6664]

Watching you first time and i loved the way you give reviews

[@ultimodragoalpha7939]

#SHQUAD another great vid as always. I'm your biggest fan from the Philippines...

[@QAnyui]

Is it true that diesel car is more fuel saving than petrol car?

[@drewiith993]

I’m just going to say it: this looks way more appealing and better than a Bentayga

[@Rascallucci]

Wow, this thing looks beautiful. Very impressive overall. I will definitely consider it.

[@mookie1247]

Tim, glad to see you are starting to review more regular affordable cars don't get me wrong super are amazing but so are cars from 5k up to 40 plus 😀

[@olliehanmer2478]

Better than a Range Rover I think always been a vw fan, I used to have a first gen Tiguan

[@Dimsbaland]

Hi Shmee i'm guys

[@Shmee150]

Hi guys!

[@ismayiloful]

looooool

[@robbeclaes5849]

Channel back to the welcome!

[@zeusgreen7178]

How can you be guys man ?

[@Nine9Three]

Reviews tech or otherwise.....Tim is the best in the business.

[@CameronEly]

Nice car! This would be an SUV I wouldn't mind having!

[@KillaMarci]

You should have a Shmee-score for reviews like this, just like Doug demuro has

[@davidabbs4459]

Really enjoyed this review, you should do more with cars in this class.

[@jackydefo]

wow that's extremelty nice.

[@Naapeajaea]

“Not a fan of that diesel sound” that my friend is the sound of reliability!

[@sachinjsaji7948]

Shmee you are the best

[@giulianoribeiro3067]

I LOVE VW CARS!

[@rayriverasj]

Nice improvement. I liked it

[@Simon-Simon-Simon]

like the electronic towbar for the carpark 🤣

[@montia1335]

VW 👍🏻

[@jakeroadtonowhere4070]

Beautiful SUV there's a lot of competition going on now with different companies bentayga the Rolls-Royce Audi Range Rover there all panicking great channel

[@chris809carhunters]

If only V10...who misses the V10 Touareg and V12 Q7. But a side note that Touareg looks like a baby bentayga

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

Chris809//CarHunters looks better imo. 😂

[@kraenk12]

Chris809//CarHunters It’s the same size

[@jeandupond7941]

Chris809//CarHunters So much of problem in the v10 of touareg

[@TRAINZRoCristi]

Black all the chrome and its perfect!

[@RCDriveCo]

Fly365 You can order the R-Line Black Style Package to get rid of the chrome

[@S58985]

Volkswagen logic: lets fix everything the Americans didn’t like about the Touareg and not sell it in the United States!

[@diazzsama]

cool

[@F1ll1nTh3Blanks]

😂😂

[@horatiotimewaster5755]

So true. This is far nicer than the Atlas. In the US, VW tries to go upmarket in fits and starts (Phaeton, Touareg, CC) but are nervous about getting too close to Audi. Plus, there is a huge difference in badge perception between them here.

[@kraenk12]

Jimmy W The Americans didn’t like the price. This is much more expensive

[@kraenk12]

Horatio Time Waster In Europe and the rest of the world VW is seen as a luxury car maker. In the US it US not. That’s the reason why Anericans don’t get the nice models or don’t buy them if they get them.

[@bradleyabel]

Great video!

[@neikels]

I think Volkswagen has the best interior designers when it comes to cars like the Touareg, the Golf etc. (obviously I ment their price class and not cars that cost as much as a Cayenne)

[@AutomotiveMike]

Still would go for a X5!

[@LucGrenier]

Who wouldn't

[@aidenp5768]

That’s a higher class but same size about. This VW isn’t pure Luxury like that but yes %10000 take it over this. As you can see my pic X5s are my favorite BMW yea surprised my favorite isn’t a M2 or M3 or M5 even a M6.

[@wiluvivriends7105]

BMW 4life

[@porscha901]

Automotive Mike why

[@Spirit4315]

Bmw is best and more reliable. Resale value is also better

[@supersanex_x]

The only really disappointing thing about this car is the interior quality

[@mart_en]

Nothing about this car is premium except the price tag. This is probably the first car over 50.000 €, where 80% of all interior materials are made of hard touch plastics. Quite daring of VW to ask for such a steep price yet only offer materials throughout the car, which are usually only seen in cars beneath the 30.000 € mark ... What were they thinking? Same pattern in the T-ROC though ...

[@shanks69]

Have to say I like it,it will be interesting to see what petrol engine they put into it. Great review by the way ,especially the interior and the info system although like you say the glovebox and centre storage are small for such a big car.

[@user-nu3el2mo2w]

This car is badass

[@stevehorwood1815]

De Crome and that would be a very nice looking car 👌🏼

[@pastormaldonado8822]

@Shmee150, given the number of cars that have been released since (and cars that you have ordered), will there be a second "Living the Supercar Dream" book?

[@Shmee150]

Good question! No plans to do so

[@GHotel-fb1or]

Seems to be a Bentayga... I love it.

[@tchadwic82]

Do the back seats fold completely flat though? It’s a fault of the last gen Touareg not to fold flat makes shoving heavy stuff in the back like appliances a ball ache.

[@MisterSkraetsch]

Hi there! I like the car but since a sales person told me he would wait and choose the unleaded over the diese version it got me thinking 🤔. What would you / you guys do????? Thanks!!!

[@ABQ87]

Shmee man, for that price the buyer would (most probably) buy the equivalent Audi

[@TEACHER0786]

Great vlog

[@OSDOENTES]

The front grille is preposterous!

[@MrOrbion]

Thanks for reviewing "normal" cars once in a while :)

[@propergander8509]

I just want shmee to review the Fiat Multipla, so I can die in peace

[@samrosen9823]

Should my friend replace his golf R with this? (He also has a racing yellow GT3:)

[@abdullahbaloch3851]

Keep the good work going

[@Shmee150]

Thanks for your support :)

[@ramisaaidi3953]

This car was lunched in my country. it is robust and work perfectly in extreme weather. It was an alternative to toyota land cruiser. But in recent years I don't see them often. I blame the marketing team of VW. They need to thank SHMEE for putting this car in the map again.

[@Belbivdevoe]

I love it! Too bad I can't get it in the US

[@horatiotimewaster5755]

Great review, but no giggling here. You seem not to enjoy plebeian cars very much (no surprise). How about profiling the GTI Club Sport S / Golf R Performance, Seat Cupra or Lotus Elise/Evora?

[@dim_kalemo]

Tim why do you think night vision should work perfect at the day light??Nice review btw..

[@aidenp5768]

Looks better than a Bentayga!!

[@tasteful7364]

1k views in 25 minutes.....you are doing good !

[@solomontetteh]

When he makes videos of new supercars/his new cars he's bought, he can easily get 5K views in 30 minutes.

[@NinjaKiller1022]

It’s such a shame that VW of America is not selling this beautiful car in the USA. The VW Atlas is less exciting. Such a great review, and I’m sure this SUV would be a fantastic family car.

[@allenmadathil4513]

KillerNinja0911 it’s because the Touareg didn’t sell well in the US. It’s so much more popular in the Middle East and Europe

[@NinjaKiller1022]

Allen Madathil yea, I know that. VW took to long to update the SUV. I’m sure they will come back.

[@sorenslothe]

Always really liked the Touareg, and the new one looks awesome. Wish the V8 was still available though, but I guess that is what it is.

[@kraenk12]

sorenslothe Still coming

[@MikiBata444]

It looks very good👍

[@Seventh7Art]

Does the new Touareg feature lockable rear diffs?

[@alexanderpeter219]

Hi Tim,do you like driving more economical cars and more normal cars?

[@arnoldarnoldsson9572]

Cant wait for you to do a BMW X5M 2019 review! When it comes out this fall!

[@djordjemilosevic3385]

Very nice car
