A new way of looking at things. The Touran combines good looks with good sense. A dynamic new design with a distinctive radiator grille and striking headlights means that the Touran looks better than ever. While an adaptable interior with a host of refinements helps you get on with whatever life throws at you. Whether you’re going on holiday, ferrying the kids about, doing the shopping or transporting the sports team, the Touran offers a wealth of practical solutions without sacrificing on style. Discover how the Touran can open up a whole new approach to life.

Wherever you’re driving – in the countryside, by the sea or on your way to work – you’ll have a better view in the Touran, thanks to the elevated seating and large windows. While the interior feels exceptionally roomy and spacious, the dimensions of the vehicle itself are surprisingly compact, providing easy manoeuvrability and parking. If you take a look at the build quality, you’ll notice consistently narrow gaps between panels, ensuring not only greater rigidity and roadholding, but less wind noise and improved aerodynamics. If you want to add to the already impressive specification, a host of optional equipment includes Bi-Xenon dipped and main beam headlights and an electric glass sunroof.

Creating a car which combines flexibility and practicality with a striking and unmistakable design is no easy task, but take just one look at the Touran and you will fall in love. The design of its front catches the eye immediately and will make your heart beat just a little bit faster, while the dynamic design extends over its sleek bodylines to the rear tailgate with striking rear light clusters. With design features like these, it’s hard not to admire its stylish beauty.

Whether you’re planning a cosy in-car picnic or dropping into the supermarket for a major spend, the Touran’s amazingly adaptable interior is ready for almost anything. The single seat system lets you fold the two seats in the third row flush into the floor of the luggage compartment. The three seats in the second row can fold down, move, slide, tip forward or be removed, either altogether or individually.

This means that you can adapt the standard seven seater into a five or two seater with the greatest of ease, should you need the extra space. Your Touran gives you up to 1,989 litres of luggage space, plus the versatility of arranging the seating to accommodate long or bulky items. In fact, with more than 500 seat variations, the only limit to what you can achieve is your imagination!

Superior ergonomics come as standard in all Volkswagens and the Touran is no exception. The spacious interior with raised seating, ample headroom and single seat system is well laid out with everything to hand. Controls and dials for standard features such as front electric windows, cruise control and remote central locking are located where they are both comfortable and easy to use.

Driving is made even more enjoyable by the very latest in-car audio equipment, air conditioning and a choice of three upholsteries with decorative trims. And to show Volkswagen really have thought of everything, up to 39 storage compartments and cubby holes keep everything neatly tucked away. From coins to drinks, maps to sunglasses, there’s a place for everything. The front passenger backrest folds down fully for use as an extra table or to provide more load-through space for long objects.

The Touran is a vehicle designed to be practical and that practicality extends to its wide range of safety features. For a start, the front and second row of seats are equipped with no less than six airbags. These include driver’s and front passenger’s airbags, front seat side impact airbags and a curtain airbag system for front and second row occupants. In addition, all seven seats have three-point seat belts. For children, Volkswagen’s innovative Isofix child seat mounting system is fitted on the outer seats of the second row, so children’s seats with the Isofix system can be fitted securely to help provide maximum safety.

Then there are the safety features which constantly monitor driving conditions, helping you avoid hazardous situations in the first place. They include an Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) with Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) to prevent wheels from locking, and an Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP), capable of reacting within milliseconds to help restore the stability of the vehicle.

Safety and convenience are combined with the optional Park assist system, a parallel parking guidance system that was made for the city. When considering a parking space, drive past the space at up to 19 mph, press the Park assist button whilst indicating and ultrasonic sensors detect if the space is sufficient to park in, if so, it notifies you via the multifunction display. Stop, engage reverse gear and the assistant automatically steers you into the space. Parking sensors provide an acoustic warning should you get too close to the vehicle behind – all you have to do is use the clutch, brake and accelerator.

Finally, to aid you further, there is also an optical parking display via the vehicle’s audio system in conjunction with parking sensors or Park assist and parking sensors. The optical parking display feature is available with RCD 310, RCD 510 or DVD touch-screen navigation/radio systems.
