CarTell take
We haven't driven the Touareg yet. On paper, ANCAP rating dates from 2018 on the older protocol. Cross-shop against newer-rated rivals if 2024 protocol scoring matters to your buying decision.
Why consider it
- 3,500 kg braked towing across the entire range, Cayenne and Q7 underpinnings at sharper money, and a 340 kW R eHybrid flagship with genuine EV-only commuting range.
What to know
- Five seats only, no seven-seat option locally.
- The 5-year warranty also trails Sorento and Palisade by 2 years.
Who it suits
Tow-rig owners and couples who want Cayenne and Q7 platform engineering at sharper money. The R-Line 210TDI is the volume pick.
