Volkswagen Touareg review

Since 2003, the Volkswagen Touareg has provided buyers of luxury SUVs a less blingy alternative to premium-badged rivals. At least it has until now.

Not only that, the Touareg shares a platform with the Audi Q7, Porsche Cayenne, Bentley Bentayga and even the Lamborghini Urus – all cracking cars. Although the Tourareg does not have the same level of firepower as its pricier siblings, you still get a 3.0-litre V6 turbo diesel, with a V6 petrol, a 4.0-litre V8 diesel and plug-in hybrid on the way.
