I drove one without air suspension and it’s so comfortable and smooth on bumpy roads It is also petrol engine I feel like I don’t need the air suspension
I'm sorry but I have to totally disagree with this review. I really think this car is more unique than the Audi Q7 the interior design is better the dash is better and it just looks more up class that's my opinion. Sounds to me she thinks the q7 is far more superior. Not will to give it a far try....... smh
That is basicaly a Tiguan on steroids. For the U.S. market. to keep up with the American beasts. :) In Europe this segment can't keep up with a midclass interior made with cheap hard plastics and outdated elements.
So in the coming years if in case the touch screen malfunctions and stops working you cant turn on the AC and do the other million functions that the screen provides?
First time i saw the new touareg next to the 2018 Q7. The dealer was hiding the touareg before the launch in the Audi delivery area. And i was surprised to see that the touareg has better infotainment layout design than the Q7
I'm sure the ride must feel great, this Touareg is the European version. I'm pretty sure the US version will have idiot proof controls. I own a 2014 Touareg Executive TDI. I had several offers from people that want to buy but no way! I test drove the Cayanne, Macan, and Audi Q5/Q7. Those SUVs feel exactly the same except they're Porsche and Audi and a few more options that I didn't care about. They tow almost the same 7,700lbs. I can pass cars within secs, City is 26/27 and highway I get around 33mpg. 26 gallon tank 720 miles. Never had a problem just making sure I continue doing it's maintenance service. Always fun to drive.. it's an awesome durable and power machine!
I had the 2013 V8 Twin Turbo 4.2 Diesel.....Incredible engine. Was at the dealers over and over....very problematic....was Great when it worked...... just didn't work often enough.. This one looks Great.....but not a fan of the tech interiors
Please... Shut the fuck up! Because all what you are saying is stupid crap! "...was great when it worked"... Hey, listen: this Tourag is no fucking awfully unreliable British car from the sixities, seventies, eighties, nineties... and so on..., which stands most of the time at the dealership for reapairing. The 4.2 liter V8 Diesel was a fantastic engine. The current Porsche Cayenne V8 Diesel was from the same quality... before the fucking idiotic "let's save the world politics" destroyed it and now Porsche won't offer it no longer.
@notformebeaky 23rd September 2015 CEO Martin Winterkorn resigns. 9th March 2016 US Volkswagen CEO Michael Horn then resigned. 11th January 2017 Volkswagen pleaded guilty to fraud and agreed to pay 4.3 billion in penalties, also six Volkswagen executive's are charged. 3rd May 2018 ex CEO Winterkorn is indicated and charged with fraud and conspiracy in the US. 15th April 2019 Winterkorn and four other executive's are charged in Germany. 31st July 2019 Stadler and three others are charged in Germany as well. 24th September Winterkorn and three others are charged with stock manipulation by prosecutor's in Germany and on the 14th July 2020 another six Volkswagen employee's are charged with fraud in Germany. That's what you call being economical with the truth. While I agree with you that all car maker's are economical with the truth, on this occasion Volkswagen most definitely crossed that line and just out and out lied and defrauded everyone.
omg this car is manufactured with Q7 and cayenne and q8 also on one line people. ITS funny to compare them, they are exactly same only bodykit is other :D
Not a very good review to be fair, I drove this today for this first time, it wasn't even on my list, but wow I was sold straight away! Literally ignore everything negative said here, this car is absolutely fantastic, I fell inlove with it today and just ordered 1! Review things from a normal average everyday driver...most of us don't give a toss about a lot of things mentioned 🤷🏻♂️🚙😂
"A little bit hesitant" pulling away from standstill. That really is an understatement. Try before you buy. Start counting when you put your foot down and expect to get to 4 before anything happens.
Btw , I bought it in the end. The result , even that 1sec accelration lag bothers me but I'm 100% satsfied with the car. It have the karizma and the looks on the street. Great car. The only thing I would trade that with is Audi q8 or a jaguar F-pace. But sadly jaguar have a bad reputation with maintainance.
You mention there are other alternatives to the 3.0 V6... But the 4.0L doesn't exist either on the German website or the UK website.... Is this engine coming out ?
nice shape, i love the curves, looks fast and sounds throaty but thats enough about Rebecca... the Toe rag is filled with cheaper VW bits from other models, i prefer the Audi Q7
Unfortunately after 6 months or so the whole sensory system that feeds the adaptive cruise control and so on has STOPPED WORKING. VW have had the car for 2 days and sent it back without a fix. Really unhappy about this. It's now been about 3 months without the adaptive cruise control and all that. Disappointed that they don't appear to have the answers or want to get in touch.
I drive the new A4 with Audi MMI plus and virtual cocpit and that type of user experience with no touch screen is the same like in Q7 and is far more safer and with no hand streaching all the time much more user friendly.... I hate that Audi went with all touch screens in new A6 and A8... this is not a couch and using an Ipad style tech in a car is a no go for me, you have to look on the road....
Yes, sir. This pertains to my interests. The Touareg of the SUVs! Unfortunately, it still has the same interior materials. I hate the plastic that your knee keeps banging.
It’s a diesel.... shortly to be banned in a city near you! Come on VW - the other vehicles using this base have a hybrid option. You promised one in the last model. ?
VW! Please please please 🙏 🙏, bring this car back to the USA 😭😭😭. We need this beautiful, sexy German creation! You can take the Atlas back, but please bring this back
Rebecca, the Touareg is not the largest suv vw makes..... It's the largest they sell in Europe. In the USA, the VW Atlas suv is larger FYI..... All in all, great reviews...
Too bad they took the toureg out of North America i can understand for the price point. Wish the atlas had this interior but the price tag would be a lot more thats for sure.
The back is very good, the new VW front grill sucks... and they made it too big, don't know why any new model should be bigger then the previous that also sucks but it is for all manufacturers
The standard "base" infotainment system has a smaller screen and more physical buttons. It's only the optional and stupidly expensive one which is all touchscreen.
i personally think this gen Touareg looks more expensive than the Q7 if you dont look at the badge
not on the inside
@@kelvo6983 Inside of the q7 although nice is lacking in practicality. Touch screens galore, even for the AC controls, no-go for me.
I drove one without air suspension and it’s so comfortable and smooth on bumpy roads
It is also petrol engine
I feel like I don’t need the air suspension
Depends on the car, sometimes it really is enough
I'm sorry but I have to totally disagree with this review. I really think this car is more unique than the Audi Q7 the interior design is better the dash is better and it just looks more up class that's my opinion.
Sounds to me she thinks the q7 is far more superior. Not will to give it a far try....... smh
Note that they have an even larger model named ATLAS in north America
yes, the Atlas are so nice. Sure would like that.
We have it here in middle East with different name Teramont it's come with only petrol engines no diesel, but it looks nice and cheaper than Touareg.
That is basicaly a Tiguan on steroids. For the U.S. market. to keep up with the American beasts. :) In Europe this segment can't keep up with a midclass interior made with cheap hard plastics and outdated elements.
American beasts...thats funny...american SUVs are just oversized...plasticky...with no quality materials
Gil Moskovich VW doesn't make the Touareg for US market anymore. So that's basically a 5 seater atlas
5:24 that close door sound is so solid
So in the coming years if in case the touch screen malfunctions and stops working you cant turn on the AC and do the other million functions that the screen provides?
It looks striking to me. Very beautiful car
Great review Rebecca, VW should have given the option to spec this with 3rd row seats though.
First time i saw the new touareg next to the 2018 Q7. The dealer was hiding the touareg before the launch in the Audi delivery area. And i was surprised to see that the touareg has better infotainment layout design than the Q7
Getting one of these next week God willing when me Camelot cheque clears😅😅🙏
I don’t think it’s better than the q7 but it’s certainly better looking.
Agreed, nothing is as ugly as that Q7 bus.
It is better rahh with a 15 inch sat nav and the led strip lighting in the front
JTL2017 it’s by far better than the Q7
In your opinion maybe.
Harper Wallace ... And mine, I’ve just changed from Audi to one & it’s knocks spots off it😉😉

No Touareg for US.
I have a 2016 Touareg TDI currently 33,000 miles. Great machine. Hope to drive it for many years to come 👍
I had the 2013 V8 Twin Turbo 4.2 Diesel.....Incredible engine.
Was at the dealers over and over....very problematic....was Great when it worked...... just didn't work often enough..
This one looks Great.....but not a fan of the tech interiors
See, that's the thing. Nobody wants problematic cars or SUVS. Buy the Toyota Land Cruiser and you won't ever have to visit the mechanic.
Please... Shut the fuck up! Because all what you are saying is stupid crap!

SJW Maniac.... AWSOME LOL!!
Presenting style is way better now! Nice one
Rebecca's reviews are now such a pleasure. She was always great, but the new "voice" really makes you want to listen that much more.
Thats right
Lovely unaffordable affordable SUV
@notformebeaky No VW got to where they are by lying and defrauding their customer's
@notformebeaky 23rd September 2015 CEO Martin Winterkorn resigns. 9th March 2016 US Volkswagen CEO Michael Horn then resigned. 11th January 2017 Volkswagen pleaded guilty to fraud and agreed to pay 4.3 billion in penalties, also six Volkswagen executive's are charged. 3rd May 2018 ex CEO Winterkorn is indicated and charged with fraud and conspiracy in the US. 15th April 2019 Winterkorn and four other executive's are charged in Germany. 31st July 2019 Stadler and three others are charged in Germany as well. 24th September Winterkorn and three others are charged with stock manipulation by prosecutor's in Germany and on the 14th July 2020 another six Volkswagen employee's are charged with fraud in Germany.

@@JohnSmith-xy1ze nobody cares about real world emissions. They did the people a favour by getting their cars into a lower tax band.
Touareg for me is one of the best Luxury SUVs. The petrol is the one to go for and it has 340 hp in Europe
Amazing big brother to the vw tiguan❤
omg this car is manufactured with Q7 and cayenne and q8 also on one line people. ITS funny to compare them, they are exactly same only bodykit is other :D

For me the touareg is the better car, looks nicer than sq7, just understatement and the 4.0 tdi is a crazy powerfull engine.
"A little bit hesitant" pulling away from standstill. That really is an understatement. Try before you buy. Start counting when you put your foot down and expect to get to 4 before anything happens.
Parking and negotiating narrow town and city streets could be an issue. Super vehicle, though.
Did she just said Volkwagen Toe RAG?😭
Yh😂
for a moment I thought this is was a new VW model I hadn't heard about
Dilafrose Bashir fr fff
Carl Johnson German mother and I own a 2008 version. (Too areg) das stimt!
Hahaaa.. someone here says grow up... why.. ? That's funny
Professional review made me rethinking before buying it. keep the good reviews up ..
Btw , I bought it in the end. The result , even that 1sec accelration lag bothers me but I'm 100% satsfied with the car. It have the karizma and the looks on the street. Great car.

@@xila8861 hey man, are you still satisfied with your ride?) How is it holding up?)
VW is the one of the best badges on the road. People know it's quality
Nice style, the hair style 😊
5:26 - if you are 150 cm, everywhere is so much space.
Lol
I laugh everytime I see her at the steering wheel ... it's like a five year old
VW Touareg worthy alternatives to the Volvo XC90 and Audi Q7 and Land Rover Discovery.
Volvo dosent tow 3.5kg's though
Brilliant and informative review Rebecca. This new Touareg is a rather handsome beast.
You mention there are other alternatives to the 3.0 V6... But the 4.0L doesn't exist either on the German website or the UK website....
Is this engine coming out ?
Yes, It's nice information 🤗👌.
Bring this back to the states! We’ll take her too...
nice shape, i love the curves, looks fast and sounds throaty but thats enough about Rebecca... the Toe rag is filled with cheaper VW bits from other models, i prefer the Audi Q7
That is very very funny.👍
Rides well, with plenty of low down torque and pushback on the gravy stroke ?
Rebecca I was under impresion that Atlas is the bigest suv that VW makes.
Not in the UK
The Atlas is only sold in the US.
Really a good review.
VW Atlas should also be available in the UK.
I would take this over the Atlas. But i dont think it’s selling here because it’s not in their website.
Why is she sitting so close to the steering wheel? In a city she would take ages to turn the wheel from lock to lock.
Not confident and shes three foot tall

I want to buy one In the States! I have one, but I will Love this one.. Can you do a video on the R-Line? Thanks
Wow this segment is becoming CROWDED
Just give me some nice physical buttons ffs.
Touch screens in a car are a bloody mare aye ?
Lucca Dennehy ... No not this one.. 😉😉
Agreed!!!
too bad this isn't coming to the USA.
Great Video Review as always and the best Female Reviewer
Great review Rebecca as always. Surprised there’s no electric steering wheel adjustment especially at this price!
I drive the new A4 with Audi MMI plus and virtual cocpit and that type of user experience with no touch screen is the same like in Q7 and is far more safer and with no hand streaching all the time much more user friendly.... I hate that Audi went with all touch screens in new A6 and A8... this is not a couch and using an Ipad style tech in a car is a no go for me, you have to look on the road....
The running cost is what puts me off lol
As a car trader can say great value super lovely car a Touareg
Beautiful bless. loved Volkswagen hall my life
Stronger car loved all German cars.
🖐❤💖♥️💖💖❤
Yes, sir. This pertains to my interests. The Touareg of the SUVs!
Unfortunately, it still has the same interior materials. I hate the plastic that your knee keeps banging.
Great review! You're also the first person from the UK who actually pronounces the Touareg's name correctly. Bravo!
fleuger99 Too areg
Your opinion that the glovebox is "pretty decent" isn't shared by all. Another reviewer said it's "very, very, average"
The EU stars on the number plate are for ironic effect, I guess. Wondering why £50k doesn't buy as much as before, as well, I reckon.
The atlas is the largest is it not?
It is, but made on a cheaper FWD platform.
The VW toerag?
It looks so much like an a1 dashboard inside
It's price is a little inflated given how it's only a five seater SUV.
Noo the Q7 is on another level
Bit unfair comparing to a Q7, Touaregs are significantly cheaper, especially used.
Hey! Why are you driving on a wrong side of the road?
they live in the mirror
Are you joking or actually being serious? Where are you from?
It's cause it's here in England.
There always has to be one Zzzzzzzzzz.....
Only gay USA drive on the wrong side of the road...lol
3rd raw is making it under-utilised to me. Can’t be family car.
If this car was sold
In the US it would sale like hot cakes
Mmmmmm straddle 😂 joking... Nice looking car. Looks good in grey
No Hybrid?
Every Touareg is Better than Q7 but…. Only SQ7 is much better than Touareg.
It’s a diesel.... shortly to be banned in a city near you! Come on VW - the other vehicles using this base have a hybrid option. You promised one in the last model. ?
This how the new q7 should have looked like. The q7 after 2015 just looks boring
VW! Please please please 🙏 🙏, bring this car back to the USA 😭😭😭. We need this beautiful, sexy German creation! You can take the Atlas back, but please bring this back
Pfffff that steering wheel again. Make a New one! The same as the golf from 2013
M. Hoi But it looks good though
Will it get third row seats?
I’m so glad it doesn’t have third row seats
"Touareg is the largest SUV that VW makes" - I think VW Atlas is bigger and in production.
toaureg for europe market, for usa americans need big van or truck, atlas there
Interior reminds me most of an upgraded Honda HRV. Not bad, but there is a big leap with the Audi this is based on.
Rebecca, the Touareg is not the largest suv vw makes..... It's the largest they sell in Europe. In the USA, the VW Atlas suv is larger FYI..... All in all, great reviews...
Toe-Rag? 😂
It is not 4WD, it is AWD. Big difference....
we would never miss an opportunity to see and hear the lovely Rebecca. nobody in the states would buy a diesel from vw anymore. just fyi.
Too bad they took the toureg out of North America i can understand for the price point. Wish the atlas had this interior but the price tag would be a lot more thats for sure.
Ну как машина ?
Is it me or what car becomes specialized in thoses SUVs ?!... 6:40 : better see Rebecca in a lotus or porsche
Q7 would have been a better choice if it didn't have such a bland look. Switch over the body to Q7 then I would pick Q7.
Sorry but the Q7 is based on this as well as the Bentayga
The back is very good, the new VW front grill sucks... and they made it too big, don't know why any new model should be bigger then the previous that also sucks but it is for all manufacturers
Why is she calling it a Toe Rag?
Her accent reminded me of Australian accent. Is she British or Australian? Just wondering....
Only VW I like.
When is this car gonna launch in
INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳 and what will be the
PRICE please REPLY
Maybe 80 lakhs
She is so fit
Those leather seats look really low quality.
How else can they sell the Audi? Just make the VW worse!
The Touareg isn't really luxury it is upper middle class
Nice video. Best Suv ever.....
No 7 seat.
for real off road land cruiser,audi for people wants toy suv...so where touareg comes...?
Want to know her name
@4:00 the only thing i dont like bout this car
I don’t want a toe rag as she calls it.
Touarag?
I want a vw twategg
Tour REG not tour RAG
Such a shame no physical controls, and dangerous too.
Probably safer than using that climate control screen in new Audis, though.
@@stephandolby maybe and latest Volvo's dangerous too.
It's the latest gimmick, bad idea.
The standard "base" infotainment system has a smaller screen and more physical buttons. It's only the optional and stupidly expensive one which is all touchscreen.
