Volkswagen's much improved post-2014-era second generation Touareg is a large luxury SUV that's dynamically better than you expect it to be, both on road and off it. True, it can't offer more than five seats, but then neither can key rivals from this era like BMW's X5, Mercedes' GLE-Class, Jeep's Grand Cherokee, the Lexus RX or Porsche's Cayenne. If you're looking at one of those contenders in this segment, then this under-rated Touareg offers a very complete package with a used value proposition that could prove hard to resist.

Easily the most comprehensive review I've seen for an average buyer. Extremely detailed, without brand bias either way. Allows one to weigh the options without sifting through hyperbole. Love it

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Glad it was helpful!

I like the way this guy knows what he is talking about, well done and thank you.

[@fredericoknapp1531]

Very nice review. Congrats. I have a 2014 V8 petrol engine. Very nice car. Still in love after many years of ownership.

[@geoffnoyes520]

Love these reviews, comprehensive and fair, and in depth, most informative. No attempt to be funny smart and 'entertaining', just a dusting of humor to keep things light. Thank you for your continuing efforts to give us top notch reviews. From Geoff, one of two squares in a (Nissan) cube, NZ.:)

Really appreciate that Geoff!!

I drive a 2016 Touareg TDI. It’s had many issues but all except sunroof leak were covered under warranty. Now it’s got 125,000 miles and runs great. Love the 725 miles I get on one fill up

[@DailyAutoSauce]

I had a 2011 TDI and it was such a beautiful, comfortable, refined beast. I had so many problems with engine/emission though. Thank God it was covered under warranty. Everything you can think of from turbo to injectors and sensors, cat, glow plugs, etc. Eventually it was totaled in an accident. Now I can’t decide if I want to buy a VW Golf R or give a 2016 Touareg TDI a chance

Great review!

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Thanks!

2023 and I've only just found out that the 7P or Mk2 Touareg not only shares the floorpan and driveline of the Porsche Cayenne it also shares the doors.

[@Indecisive7337]

A lovely car, many thanks for making this video.

[@CarandDrivingCarReviews]

Our pleasure!

ALWAYS loved the look and at least the off road performance of gen 1. finally pulled the trigger on the LAST YEAR IN U.S. . I REALLY wanted the TDI but as we know the Feds got that one good. unfortunetly in late 2016 the last year of the TDI's were going for up to 20K above the gas models. so i ended up with a gas Wolfsberg - My wife LOVES it so much she said it's hers. i believe that if VW had stuck with more of the off road of the first gen and updated to go head to head with say the new defenders etc. they may still be in the U.S. To bad as the designs i see in Europe are interesting BUT large ! this is a perfect size.

Great car, but I had to replace both front headlights at €1.4k each! Ouch!!! But I still love it… super comfortable and quiet with air suspension… get. 2016 and up (dynamic hella headlight issue was fixed)

[@SFlightline]

A nice review, but I hate the deliberate tutting at the start of almost every sentence; reminiscent of the UR Top Gear presenters who were just as annoying. I have one of these, and its a brilliant car in every way! Get the right tyres and its very very capable off road or in the snow.

[@benjilacombe7478]

These are such nice vehicles. All you need to do is drive one within it's warranty period to be worry free from expensive repair bills. I Love all these reviews, they normally don't tell you about all the faults making it seem all so heavenly. Complicated and unreliable emmissions, steering wheel lock modules, and poor computer circuitry solder causing limpmode faults, are the things that can leave you stranded. The people that don't worry are the ones with a warranty and AAA.

[@emergingit]

100%..!

[@benjilacombe7478]

@Ian-lx8ps Some are better than others, I sold my neighbor a 2011 hasn't had any issues...yet after 40k miles. I told her alot of the potential issues that could arise...ticking time bomb. Maybe deleting all the emmissions would help reliability.

[@erker6423]

The V8 4.2 TDi is very popular and even better in maintenance costs. Why this is not available in the UK ? In Europe/World/ZA ans AUS it is .

[@jaymaina]

Question. How does someone differentiate the 204 ps and 262 ps models?

[@rob327c]

Red I on the rear tdi badge. Or the engine code on the compliance plate.

[@TYAC_TPE_SF-Bay]

I think I can read the written format faster and more intriguingly

I am thinking about buying a 2015-2017 used vw touareg V6 model. May I ask how is the reliability?

[@emergingit]

If it's out of warranty get it checked by a local trusted mechanic. Like all German cars out of warranty you need to be careful.

[@mvubu6823]

Don't do it They look great but out of warranty you're looking for hurt. Just google the issues.

[@davidplathe]

I have a 2016 with the gas V6. Came standard with 10yr 100k power train warranty. The reliability is great but you will spend more on tires, brakes, and other regular maintenance. Only issue has been heater blower motor went out. I fixed myself in 30 minutes.

[@douglasb.1203]

2014 Touareg TDI Sport w 182,000 miles. Is it reliable? Yes. Is it durable? Yes. Does it need maintenance and occasional repairs? Yes. I love it and will drive it until they pry the smart key out of my cold, dead hands.

[@bafanammaziya4387]

Roof leak, injector seals, alternator brushes, brake disks, coolant leak by the valley. this are once offs DIYs. Tyres and brake pads😅😅😅

10% escapes lol yeah right....try ONE % if even that.......

[@daveydarko5026]

Those MPG figures are well off. 24 around town, 30 on b roads and 37 on a motorway run. The single worst thin about VW ownership is the useless dealers. They know very little about the Touareg and next to no interest in them at all. And if you are thinking of buying a new model - DONT. They are plagued with problems, and VW dealers have no comprehension of the customer service 'premium' product owners expect. I would NEVER buy another VW, simply because of the dealers. Oh, and VW is one of the most indebted manufacturers in the world. They sacked off the Golf, which is the only notable vehicle they have made in decades. Their EVs are a joke. Buy an Audi. LOL

you do realize VW owns Audi?

@@keponen331 the point I was trying to make was how crap VW dealers are. I have a small hope Audi dealers would be better but I have no experience of them. Sorry, I should’ve been clearer 👍❤️
