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.

Watch: The Stig Drives (nearly) Seven Generations of Golf GTI

With Volkswagen announcing “major” updates to the Golf, it seems an appropriate time to look back on what we’ve had so far. And who better to guide us through the rich history of the most popular European car ever made than Ben Collins, the former Stig? Some say he’s never met a GTI he doesn’t love, and that he can’t grow any of his own facial hair. All we know is … Ben Collins is actually a pretty solid presenter. Working his way through seven generations of the GTI (skipping over the Mk6) Collins tells us a little bit about each one and matches each mark to its corresponding facial hair craze. The Mk1 GTI for instance, is light and quick, but can lose traction under hard acceleration (in heavy rain). Despite that, Collins calls the Mk1 a “pure gem.” The Mk4, meanwhile, is a powerful return to form after the perhaps too sensible Mk3. Collins ends in the only way he could, with the Mk7, which accelerates faster than a Lamborghini Countach and is all kinds of wonderful. Watch, ...

Watch: The Story of the Ads that Made VW Big in America

The ads for the original Beetle are almost as famous and well-loved as the Beetle itself. Looking back now it’s easy to forget, though, just how easily things could have wrong. A new short from Dial M Films tracks the history of those early Volkswagen ads that sold America on the people’s car. The story, of course, begins with the visionary agency that made the ads: Doyle Dane Bernach (DDB). As a popular agency for Jewish products, no agency was more aware of the implications of Volkswagen, and no one, it seems, was more skeptical of the brand than DDB. “Remember Those Great Volkswagen Ads?” from Dial M Films on Vimeo . William Bernbach, though, was adament that the firm take the client, probably as a way of attracting other lucrative automotive clients. Saddled with a client that he didn’t want, art director Helmut Krone says in the film that he originally came up with ads that were all wrong. Krone tried to do what other manufacturers did and was intent on selling the Beetle ...

Watch: The Zerouno Cruis’n USA

ItalDesign is drumming up excitement for its new supercar based around the same 5.2-liter Audi V10 that powers the R8. Naturally, it hit the road for a cruise around California last week to celebrate Monterey Car Week. There isn’t much in the way of V10 noise—which is a real shame given the sound it makes—but you do at least get a good look at the car inside and out in this video. With a body made entirely of carbon fiber and designed to be as aerodynamic and light as possible, ItalDesign figures that it will be good for a 0-60 time of just 3.2 seconds. “We put it our best skills into the production of the first car,” said Massimo Bovi, head of pre-series production, when the Zerouno was first unveiled in Geneva earlier this year. “Using some of the finest productions methods and engaging our high-skilled workers.” The car features clever aero tricks gleaned from single-seat racing, like a y-duct up front to improve downforce and turn-in. Available in a number of trim levels, the...
