New Touran Now Available at Dealerships Across Europe

  • New design, more room, top marks for safety, and new assistance systems
  • Perfect smartphone integration ensures maximum connectivity

The all-new Touran is now available in Volkswagen showrooms. The new family MPV stands out with a powerful design that is significantly lighter and sportier than before. Along with an enlarged multi-variable interior, Volkswagen has equipped the Touran with a wide range of new assistance and infotainment systems. According to EuroNCAP, the Touran is also one of the safest automobiles in Europe. Despite all the additional equipment features and greater comfort and safety, the popular MPV remains as modest as the previous model, with prices for the new Touran starting at €23,350.

The new Touran combines a distinctive-sporty appearance with numerous intelligent detailed solutions. For example, the interior has been completely redesigned. With its cargo volume of up to 1,980 litres, seats that can be folded down flat to merge with the luggage floor, ISOFIX fixtures at six seats and as many as 47 storage bins, the Touran is the perfect everyday companion – and not just for families.

The Touran is also equipped with the second generation of the Modular Infotainment System (MIB II), which offers maximum connectivity and includes the “App Connect” Car-Net feature. MirrorLinkTM, Android Auto (Google) and CarPlay (Apple) make it possible to integrate all different kinds of smartphone apps directly into the infotainment system and operate them using the large touchscreen. Volkswagen “Guide & Inform” also provides online services such as up-to-date traffic alerts and information on available parking spaces and petrol stations with the lowest prices. Another benefit offered by the MIB II system is that two smartphones can now be linked to it simultaneously.

Families in particular also benefit from an additional new feature – an electronic voice amplification system that allows the driver and front passenger to be clearly heard via the hands-free telephone unit and the speakers connected to the Touran’s infotainment system when they talk to passengers in the second and third rows.

The new Touran comes with the innovative Automatic Post-Collision Braking system and PreCrash proactive occupant protection system as standard. Numerous other assistance systems are available as options. These include: ACC Adaptive Cruise Control, Front Assist with the City Emergency Braking function, Traffic Jam Assist, Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert and the Trailer Assist trailer manoeuvring assistant. Other new features in the Touran include the automatic Easy Open tailgate function, which is activated by a foot movement, as well as a driving profile selection feature and high-performance LED headlights.

The petrol (TSI) and diesel (TDI) engines are completely new. At market launch, the Touran will be offered in two TSI and two TDI variants, with output of 81 kW / 110 PS and 110 kW / 150 PS, respectively.

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22.

The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey.

Macau Gets Messy with 16-Car Pileup

The Macau Grand Prix is always good for an accident or two or 16— you may remember Audi’s race ending crash last year —and this year’s event didn’t disappoint. It didn’t take long for things to get messy on the tight road circuit. On the opening lap of the qualifying race a 16-car pileup caused the race to be suspended. Things kicked off when Daniel Juncadella hit a wall on the exit of Police bend, one of the tightest parts of the already tight circuit. The following car of Raffaele Marciello was able to avoid the carnage, but Laurens Vanthoor, who was in the upside-down Audi that ended the race last year, could not avoid Juncadella and together they blocked up the road pretty much completely. “I couldn’t see him [Juncadella] at first. Then I saw the car standing still,” Vanthoor told Motorsport. “I tried to brake but it was just understeering and I couldn’t do anything. There’s room for one car there and you’re blind.” Fourteen more cars would eventually crash into the corner c

The First of its Kind: Integrated Engineering Releases Highly-Anticipated IE450T MK6 Golf R Turbo Kit

After two long years of development, the team at Integrated Engineering has finally announced the release of their IE450T kit for the MK6 Golf R. With their turbo kit bolted on right out of the box, the sport AWD hatch is transformed into a 450bhp monster, with hardly any noticeable increase in spool time. In fact, 435 ft-lbs of torque are achieved at all four wheels, at a mere 3300rpm! By now you are probably asking yourself how this is even possible on a 2.0L engine that made nearly half that power from the factory. By employing true twin-scroll technology into the cast turbo manifold and pairing it with a state-of-the-art BorgWarner EFR turbocharger, IE was able to keep spool time at a minimum and bring the fastest-spooling big turbo setup to the market. “We wanted to offer a kit that would dramatically increase the power output without making the car lose its amazing street-friendly drivability,” mentioned one of the IE engineers. We are told the IE450T leaves the car driving jus
