Pentru familisti....New VW Touran
It’s nip and tuck time for the Touran. The wraps have come off the freshly facelifted VW MPV at the Leipzig Motor Show in Germany.
Just like the larger Sharan which bowed at Geneva, the newcomer is infused with the same VW design DNA which debuted on the latest Golf.
At the front, there’s a new grille and larger bodycoloured front bumper, while the headlights are more distinctive than the car it replaces. The rear now features new LED taillights and a revised spoiler which helps improve aerodynamic efficiency.
The interior has been given a refresh too. The Touran gets the multi-function steering wheel from the latest Golf, better materials including a greater use of chrome, and redesigned headrests which give rear-seat passengers a less restricted view of the road ahead.
The Touran comes with seven seats as standard. The third row folds into the boot floor, leaving a 695-liter load space, while the maximum carrying capacity is 1,913-litres. There are no fewer that 39 other storage spaces scattered around the interior too.
Under the bonnet, there’s a choice of two petrol and four diesel engines. The petrol range consists of the 138bhp 1.4-litre unit carried over from the old car, and a new 104bhp 1.2-litre unit.
Oil burners include two 1.6-litre units, developing 89bhp and 104bhp, and two 2.0-litre engines which muster 138bhp and 168bhp. DSG gearboxes are standard on the range-toppers. Both lower-powered diesels are available with Bluemotion technology. The 104bhp 1.6-litre diesel sips fuel at the rate of 61.4mpg and emits 121g/km of carbon dioxide.
Debuting on the new car is VW’s latest generation of the ParkAssist stystem. At the touch of a button, the Touran will park itself into a parallel space – the car does the steering while the driver controls the throttle and brakes. The system also allows the car to park itself in end-on spaces for the first time.
The new Touran goes on sale in the UK in the September where it will face stiff competition from the new Vauxhall Meriva and Ford C-MAX. Prices will start from around £17,000 - £1,200 more than the current entry-level model.
