QUIZ: FREE CAR FOR ONE YEAR....NEW SHAPE NO SUNROOF OR OLD SHAPE WITH SUNROOF?

Love that you reviewed the SEL!! Everyone has done the 286ps or R-Line models, which are nice but slightly outside my budget. I think I could live with an SEL and a few upgrades after watching this review. Thanks 👍

I have a 2011 Touareg and absolutely love it. Chocolate leather interior with stainless and wood grain.

Your good you should be on TV. Everything on point.

We have some fantastic SUV offers below £300 p/m right here: buff.ly/3DQTVPg

Was randomly suggested this video on my home page, watched it and thoroughly enjoyed it, you've gained a subscriber.

Cheers Paul. Feel free to watch our back catalogue 😉

I like this one. His sarcasm is spot on.

WOW, this is actually the first time I see this car without the fully upgraded gadgets. Nice analog instruments.

Excellent review as always, tempted

I was half expecting you to mention "dogging" when you were driving in the woods. But you neatly let that one slip by :-))... For such a large vehicle, I was surprised how little room there was for the back seats. So probably not the best one to use for my first comment above!! :-))... Once again you've done everything right in this video. When are the BBC calling for you to join TopGear?

For clarification - it's only the SEL that requires air suspension on larger wheels. Move up to the R-Line and 20's are standard. I have an R-Line Tech and love it (I came from the previous generation Touareg, and this is a massive leap forward).

Hi, did you consider X5 against it ? I am thinking from either of these two, what do you think ?

Great review, might be my favorite KZread auto reviewer. Well done!!

Absolutely brilliant. Really enjoyable and interesting too. Loved the off road stuff. You nailed it again

Bravo excellent review

Top Gear needs you !

Wow. That was awesome. Thanks

It's a shame that this widely praised VW SUV isn't offered in North America. Here it's the Tiguan or the Atlas. Not that we don't have 799 different permutations of SUVs/crossovers to choose from, but this Touareg seems to be VW's best. Well, maybe they'll decide to electrify it and send us that one.

We need these diesels in the USA. If you have never driven a DIESEL, you do not know what you are missing. Bring this vehicle back to the USA.

Instead of great global vehicles like this and the Passat we get the watered down POS made for North America only VW's which is why I won't support this company anymore.

The day they offer a Touareg III with the 4.0 TDI V8 in the United States, is the day before I buy one. Sure would like to see an Amarok 4.0 TDI as well. That’s the truck America needs, but is forbidden to have.

Excellent review, all the relevant information good to watch & all opinions supported by details. Thanks 😎🇬🇧

I still love the V8 4.2 2004 Touareg It drives like a ship. Heavy, smooth, and powerful. Non of the newer Touaregs compare. Now that you have improved upon the technicalities, bring back the 2004 model to the market, equipped with all these neuschkeinten. It will outsell above all its competitors. And, please, we still want to keep driving the old Touaregs. We need spare parts for replacements. Make them available, please. Don't leave us to go scavenging. Help us enjoy owning the classics. We are willing to buy the parts to refurbish what we have. Help us pimp our ride.

Really like the car, but I really REALLY like your jacket!

Loving the review, interesting and informed as ever

Nice review, and I hate big truck things like this. Would like to see you collaborate with the Canadians at ThrottleHouse or Straight Pipes to compare fun global things like next year’s Abarth 124 or what Peugeots might be coming to N America.

looks like VW might have nailed it again and Howard so have you with this video - huge respect from me 👍

great review as always! :)

Great car for sure. Also as a non pro car presenter, you seem like a natural. Many of these KZread car presenters over do it.

Why aren't these videos looking real 4k? Are you recording from an iPhone?

The off road ability is quite frankly staggering, couldn't believe what this motor is capable of off road.

Love love love mine

My grannys electric wheel chair could make easy work of this track.

Bought the R-Line petrol had it a year and I can't fault it.

My dream car

I am driving the 4.0tdi with the full option and i can say its the best car I ever had. I just dont like the nervous lane assist and the soundsystem could be better.

Great car lm sure until the waranty runs out and then l would be very nervous. I would suggest resale might take a massive hit. Its not all roses folks.

Good review. I'd be interested to know why you don't like air suspension.

I looked at this model. Had two test drives and each car had the same issue. When you push the accelerator it takes up to a slow count of four before the car starts to move.

I have a first gen kia sorento great for off road ( i have a small house on a mountain with tereble road) and i will never sell it But i am waiting for my new vw touareg r line :)

At 5:59 when you press the roof liner you can see how it separates from the middle column plastic. Also plastics are in some areas not up to the price. Rear passenger room doesn't seem to be larger than an XC90 for example. Too complicated infotainment system. should be more simple.

I own a 2011 Hybrid. What year is this car. I thought they stopped making the Touareg and replaced it with the tinny, not even close in comparison, Atlas.

This is the 2018 Touareg, unfortunately we don't get the Atlas in the UK

it's new one Touareg, nice

I'm Extremely Disappointed VW dropped it from the US market. I grabbed a 2017 Wolf for myself but when my wife got her hands on it - well it's hers. If they stuck with the off road/ lux approach they would be ahead of the competition - such as their off road racing - just saying.

Watching this after VW announced the PHEV Touareg.

Did anyone see that roof liner move when touched at 6:00.. Not the most solid then.
