New Volkswagen Touareg Review – Premium SUV Bargain?

Juliet McGuire

5 Oct 2018

The Volkswagen Touareg is back with a strong premium SUV contender. What it lacks in premium brand cache it makes up in value and capability. Juliet McGuire tests out the new model.

The new 2018 Volkswagen Touareg is the third generation of the flagship SUV and it is undoubtedly the best yet. A radically altered design brings it in line with Volkswagen's new design language. With a brand new drivetrain and chassis and a thoroughly updated interior, in terms of tech, comfort and luxury, makes this one of the best long-distance cruisers we've ever tested.

And, even though the price tag hovers around the R1million mark, with rivals such as the new BMW X5 attracting prices between R1.1 and 1.5million, the Touareg starts to look like very good value indeed.

In this video, Juliet McGuire will take you through all the updates.
