Pros Good-looking SUV drives well, handles well, is priced well
Cons Diesels are noisy, entry 1.0 TSI struggles
Pros Big boot and lots of interior space Lots of great engines Fun to drive for an SUV
Cons Could be more comfortable Interior plastics could be better Overall cabin design is dull
The VW faces an uphill struggle against brand laden rivals, but is actually just as good.

The 2020 Volkswagen Touareg V8 TDI is expensive, but it also has a very special diesel V-8 under the hood.
Pros Fast enough for the autobahn, diesel efficiency, premium-brand levels of luxury and refinement.
Cons Garish chrome grille; an Alcantara headliner would be nice; we'd love to have it here, but it's premium-brand money.
