Well done Autogefühl team! Claus and me are looking forward to see you at the next event Thomas! ☺️👍🏼
Sensational! Great machine. Thanks again Thomas.
The is the most beautiful vehicle made by VW
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.
Appreciated Rick!
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.
thanks m8 !
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
love the Meze menus =)
I hope they bring this to Canada as well! My Touareg TDI is 5 years old and I really need a new one!
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.
always good to have u here!
great video as usual, thanks...but Here, man, the beauty of the landscape is the best thing to see and not the car... ;-)
Looks like a tough build suv and good off road capable, thank you for the review
Great review as always Thomas 👌🏻👍🏻
very very high quality, comprehensive review. great job.
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.
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 UA-cam by far
we ll test that one soon!
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.
thanks marcel!
@@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 ?
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.
:-)
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!
Wunderbar!
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.
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.
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.
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
Even the Touareg has giving in o the video game crowd and giving up on the off road capability
Hi Thomas. Which Infotainment do you prefer? Audi's new MMI or this one?
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
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.
yeah it is really close with those abysses!
Yesterday I saw one parking, it looks really nice and is big like a tank.
such a great SUV, not available in North America, so sad...
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.
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.
thanks!
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.
enjoy watching =)
Excellent video as always. Is this basically a bargain Porsche Cayennne, except not much of a bargain really, is it?
Welcome to morocco :D Mr Thomas
was amazing =)
I am driving a 2012 Toureg TDI, waiting for a re-release of the latest version in the U.S.
It still has a manually adjustable steering wheel. But anyways. It's a cool car. Very nice review.
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
We cannot get any Mahindra vehicles here unfortunately...
53:51
nice photobomb =)
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?
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
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.
definitely
The Touareg is in no way "less" than GLE, X5, Q7
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.
It’s like a Range Rover. It’s €80K, so who’s gonna actually take this on some serious off roading?
They nailed on the first generation, and everything else is write off. What's up with that front grill?
Great video.
Great job guys!!! Mach weiter.
Thanks =)
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.
I think the previous generation was much better in off road.
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.
Cheers!
Will the hybrid version here in EU be a 2.0tsi or 3.0tdi as the Audi Q7?
I’m hoping that VW keep their promise this time and bring a Hybrid to the UK this time.
Too bad the soft closing doors are not available in the U.K. - Why is that?
Great car. I love 3rd Gen Touareg
Very smart. I wonder how many people will actually go proper off-roading with it, though?
Would need a different set of wheels and tyres for anything like "off-roading"
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.
Thomas what feels more luxurious this or a fully optioned Volvo XC60?
This
Autogefühl
Is the massage seats as good as Volvo?
Also how is the Dynaudio compared to bowers and Wilkins?
Thanks.
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.
=)
Hope you enjoyed the stay. You have followers from Morocco. The 53:5 ride is the perfect 4x4. And is far cheaper.😂😂😂
🤣🤣
And of course I can't get this in the USA. Every VW I want they aren't selling here. Pretty sad.
Maybe if Americans would stop buying shit cars that they make over there you would get something better.
USA get the VW Atlas, in UK we dont.
@@3204clivesinclair Atlas is garage.
same with other manufacturers, we want the Edge ST in UK/EU, Ford thinks we cant cope with the V6 petrol!!
Loving the car
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.
Might also play a role
in the interior all is new only the steering wheel is old :(
I have no idea why they keep with that ugly design. I mean, at least copy the Up!. It's much better.
How abbout Škoda Karoq Off Road Experience, can you make that?
That we can already offer: ua-cam.com/video/zSjDe1_JXkY/v-deo.html
@ 16:21 Check out Jon Olsson's Mercedes G Wagon without roof :P
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.
An forgot to mention, better looking and cheaper than the Tuareg :P
A pig with lipstick is still a pig. The Atlas couple will still be below the Touareg.
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.
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.
The interior looks very similar with the 2019 Audi Q8
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
5000€, 6 years later...
Thomas! Thank Usm And Ilysm and Respect U AF! My Friend Mr Blau! Great Work too T! Keep it Up AF! And I'll See U soon! And Have a Lovely Evening Mr Thomas Blau!✊See what I Did There again! Blau!✊Blau!✊Blau!✊🏴x ;)
Too expensive for the US market due to internal vw competition with audi and porsche
10/10 VW for dropping the cheap and nasty looking black plastic sill and wheel arch trim that appears to be the staple of all SUV's.
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? 😂😂😂
=)
I got an Bmw commercial watching this
So what?vw cant compare with BMW anyway
Morocco, Oukaimeden area ;)
indeed :)
I had vertigo at 30:48!!
😅
5:29 a 340hp V6 engine and 9.1s from 0-100? Not quite. It`s more like 5.9s.
Yes sorry, 5,9 Sek. is correct. Misread my own handwriting =)
Hi Thomas Hru Today Mr Blue Skies, ELO!! Did You See What I Did There again!🌈🏴🇩🇪✊;)
Those non-adaptive cup holders on the rear centre arm rest is really uncomfortable. I'd rather go with no cup holders on the arm rest than that. Those plastic holes can hurt. Certainly one of those instances of VW still cheaping out whenever they can.
Why did you drive outside the roads? It was necessary to damage wild nature???
Too civilized for serious off-road. Can’t see this car last for years in the extreme rough countrysides. Need to learn from toyota on robustness and reliability first.
You sure have driven all of them off-road for years. Serious, what’s your problem?
全高清 全屏幕 全长 lets go
Word offroad shouldnt be with Touareg. Anyway i think this will have destiny od Phaeton.
Well, the ground clearance with air suspension up is just -1cm than the G-Class
gen 2 had elecronically lockable diffs [all 3].... this is a downgrade
🧐................🤔...............it needs more lines.
LETS GOOOOOOO
too expensive for the interior, just like a golf
sure,you never made any cliche
역시 GERMANY
Good SUV, but not offroader. Or this offroad is european type :-)) I don't like an idea to use Touareg in forests on deep mud surface.
1hour video 🤦🏻♂️
enjoy =)
In b4 "1st!" 😋
It is the most ugliest Touareg. First and second generations were much more handsome than this one.
what a shit box
such a plain and boring car
