Expert Reviews

The VW faces an uphill struggle against brand laden rivals, but is actually just as good.

Pros
Sophisticated and high-tech interior plus engines for all situations in the pipeline

Cons
Same-price rivals wear more premium badges

Spacious inside for up to five people

Fussy infotainment system
No seven-seat option

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.

Pros
Smoldering performance versus regular GLE-class,
high-quality and high-tech cabin,
silky-smooth ride.

Cons
Coupe version sacrifices cargo space versus SUV model,
drives as big as it looks,
GLE63 requires more fill-ups.
