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.

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

    When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier.  The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow.   While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something .  To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it.  Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait.  So with this in mind, we lined our G...

Volkswagen’s Gone to California with Grand California Camper

Volkswagen is bringing the California XXL concept to production. It will debut at the Dusseldorf Caravan Salon as the Grand California. It’s set to be based on the medium wheelbase Crafter van. That’s the company’s full-size commercial van, larger than the T6 Transporter based California. The high roof means room for adults to stand up, though it won’t get the concept’s extended length. The Grand California offers a full wet bathroom. It’s not exactly spacious, though, measuring in at around 31.5 x 33-inches. A toilet, shower, and sink are all crammed into that space, but at least there are motion sensor lights to stop you from reaching for a switch. Standard, the Grand California it comes with berths for two adults. Space for two children is optional, but they’ll be stuck in a berth amove the driver’s area. The kitchen offers a sink, stove, and two fridges. The front seats swivel to add seating space when the RV is parked. It’s also got solar panels, an integrated satellite dish,...

Audi Teases A7 Details with New Video

Audi’s gearing up to unveil the latest iteration of the A7, and to get you excited they’ve released this teaser video focusing on the details. The lights, the lines, the interior are all teased here, and though on its own the video doesn’t give us a strong sense of what the whole car will look like, with all of the other details we’ve seen so far we now have a pretty good sense of what’s coming. As you might expect, the updated A7 will look broadly similar to the outgoing A7, but will differ in the details. Based on what we’ve seen, the changes look good. As was reported yesterday, we’re expecting a 3.0-liter turbocharged engine, a 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo, a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6, and an RS7 that could reportedly make up to 700 hp thanks to the Porsche Panamera’s hybrid drivetrain. We’ll know for sure, though, on Thursday, October 19, when the car is revealed. You can watch the livestream on our site or at audi.com at 2:00 pm.
