Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
Roomy first- and second-row seating
Lots of cargo space and interior storage spots>
Easy-to-use control

Cons
Standard touchscreen interface is too small
Third-row seating is cramped for adults
Lackluster acceleration and braking performance

By:

Pros
Refined powertrain,
actually capable TrailSport model,
just as family-friendly as the last version.

Cons
City fuel economy could be better,
entry-level infotainment display is dinky,
Honda's Odyssey minivan remains the more practical choice.

The name sounds odd, but the Touareg offers a comfortable ride and spirited performance—something we all can understand. Its 3.6-liter V-6 makes 280 hp and is mated to an eight-speed automatic and all-wheel drive. The Touareg is large, comfortable, and solid—plus it’s equally at home both on and off the pavement. A standard touchscreen infotainment display is functional but dated; the optional adaptive cruise control and automated emergency braking, however, are well engineered and effective.
