VW Launches Touran
The new Touran has been unveiled at the Leipzig Motor Show.
Featuring fresh styling, pioneering technology and a range of efficient new petrol and diesel engines, the new Touran is set to build on the strong reputation of the 1.13 million examples of the compact MPV sold across Europeto date.
The new Touran features styling that takes inspiration from the design direction established by the Polo, Golf and new Touareg.
The new grille features strong horizontal lines that are replicated in the new front bumper while at the rear, revised tail-lights featuring intricate LED bulbs are fitted along with a new tailgate and bumper.
Completing the revisions are a set of new alloy wheels and chrome-edged rubbing strips running down the side of the vehicle.
Inside the Touran, fresh new trim finishes are joined by a three-spoke steering wheel ahead of a new set of dials featuring subtle white backlighting and a large electronic display to relay information on the vehicle’s systems.
A revised centre console with chrome highlights houses new controls for the ventilation system.
The new Touran is fitted with seven seats as standard, the third row of which can be folded down into the floor of the vehicle to leave a 695 litre loadspace that can be increased to 1,913 litres when the centre row of seats is folded.
Powering the Touran is a range of highly efficient new forced induction engines that promise greater performance and economy while delivering fewer emissions. The entry-level petrol engine is a new 1.2-litre TSI unit delivering 105 PS. It’s joined by a 1.4-litre TSI engine developing 140 PS.
The diesel range comprises two engines with four different power outputs. A 1.6-litreTDI engine is available with a choice of 90 or 105 PS outputs while the 2.0-litreTDI engine offers 140 or 170 PS.
In addition, the 1.2 TSI 105 PS petrol and 1.6-litre 105 PS diesel engines can be specified in BlueMotion Technology trim complete with Start/Stop and, in the case of the latter, the ability to return 61.4 mpg on the combined cycle – making the new Touran the most efficient MPV Volkswagen has ever produced.
The new Touran will go on sale in the UK in September with the first models arriving in October. Prices and specifications will be announced nearer this time.
