Volkswagen Touran Gets Significant Updates for Engine Range and Interior Styling

Volkswagen Touran Front View The latest edition of Volkswagen Touran went on sale in October stronger than ever before and it has never been so well equipped. The German company is now updating the engine range with two new units. In addition, there is also a brand new design pack, which offers more style for the interior. Here are the details.

The New Engines

The expanded range of Touran engines from now features two new powerful variants. The first one is the 180 PS (132 kW) TSI version and the second one is the 190 PS (140 kW) TDI unit. Volkswagen highlights that both powertrains have their “focus on efficiency and driving pleasure”.

How does the Touran benefit from the two new top-of-the-range engine options? First and foremost it gets significantly enhanced sporting character. For instance, the 1.8-litre TSI, which produces 180 PS is capable of achieving a top speed of 218 km/h and the maximum torque of 250 Nm between 1250 and 5000 rpm. In addition, the 1.8 TSI benefits from the 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. The pricing starts at €34,250 and includes the Highline specification.

On the other hand the 2.0-litre TDI gains significant increase in performance: its 190 PS coming from the four-cylinder engine reaches a top speed of 220 km/h, but it still manages to consume just 4.6 litres per 100 kilometres. This variant in the Highline specification and equipped with 6-speed DSG has a starting price at €37,150.

Extensive “Milano” Design Package

Besides the two powerful additions to the engine lineup, Volkswagen Touran will also benefit from the brand new pack for its interior, called “Milano” design package. Called “Milano” for a reason, this pack gives the Touran a “trace of Italian elegance”.

Precisely, it includes ambient lighting, roofliner in titanium black and “piano black” inlays for the centre console, the instrument panel and in the door panels. The centre seat panels have a volcano-brown “ArtVelours” micro fleece, while the seats and the steering wheel com in “Nappa” leather. By the way, the front seats also have heating function. If we got you interested, the “Milano” design package can be ordered for the Comfortline and Highline specifications and has a pricing of €1,675.

R-Line Package Governs the Refreshed Touran

VW Touran R-Line Front View Volkswagen Touran in its latest form was previewed last week with the announcement that it goes on sale.

It will have the main benefits of exclusive new features for the interior and exterior, which will give it unmistakably athletic and dynamic appearance.

The R-Line Package is for the Exterior…

The R-Line Pack comes with characteristic front and rear bumpers. At the front we see two body-colored wing-like air intakes with C-shape gloss black signature and an R-Line logo in the radiator grille. At the opposite side, the rear, there is a sporty bumper contours adorned by a chrome strip.

The sides have distinctive features, too. Such are the high-gloss black side sill extensions, silver anodized roof rails and R-Line logos. And of course it is literally impossible to skip the new alloy wheel rims, offered in a choice of 17- or 18-inch Salvador or Marseille wheels.

…and for the Interior

Although we don’t have picture of the cabin of the R-Line Touran, VW ensured us that there are a lot of benefits inside. For instance, there are ‘Race’ fabric covers and the extra comfortable front seats, titanium black roof liner, ‘Black Lead Grey’ decorative inlays for the instrument panel and front door panels, fabric floor mats with decorative stitching in ‘Crystal Grey’, front door tread plates in aluminium and pedals in stainless steel. This equipment will definitely create unique ambience and perfect cozy space for the occupants.

The standard steering wheel has been changed with a leather-trimmed multi-function sports steering wheel, which includes decorative aluminium trim and R-Line logo. It is all about sportiness and athleticism for the new Touran, isn’t it?

At last, if you are keen on buying Volkswagen Touran R-Line, then you should know that the package will cost you an extra of €2,155.

Refreshed Volkswagen Touran is Available in Showrooms

Volkswagen Touran Front View 2015 Volkswagen Touran has new design, more room for its passengers as well as more assistance systems and safety features to show-off with. The better news however is that everyone who has been eagerly waiting for it to debut on market can go directly to the nearby showrooms and purchase the new Touran.

The refreshed family MPV has better design, less weight and sportier attitude. All of this has been combined with various intelligent detailed solutions. The interior has too been completely redesigned. The cargo volume is of up to 1,980 litres, and this fact allows the seats to be folded down flat to merge with the luggage floor.

Technology Features & Assistance Systems

Another very cool feature in the new Touran is the second generation of the Modular Infotainment System (MIB II). MIB II offers maximum connectivity and includes the “App Connect” Car-Net feature. Other tweaks included here are MirrorLinkTM, Android Auto (Google) and CarPlay (Apple). They will make easier the integration of all different kinds of smartphone apps directly into the infotainment system. This system is also beneficial because two smartphones can now be linked to it simultaneously.

Volkswagen Touran Interior

Furthermore, Volkswagen added an electronic voice amplification system, which at first glance might seem a little bit pretentious. But it is actually very cool and will make the things for the driver a little bit more comfortable. In details, this system allows the driver and front passenger to be clearly heard via the hands-free telephone unit and the speakers. They are connected to MPV’s infotainment system, so when they talk to passengers in the second and third rows, there will be no screaming and shouting.

The innovative Automatic Post-Collision Braking system and PreCrash proactive occupant protection system are also featured in the newest Touran. And the great news is that they come as a standard. There are of course other optional assistance systems like the 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.

VW Touran

The Touran is coming with a new look, new technologies and a new top TSI engine. The next generation of the bestseller will be presented in a world premiere at the Paris Auto Show on September 28. The market launch will be taking place in the middle of November. The van will be the first Volkswagen available with “Park Assist”, unique in its technical design; the parking system that makes parking a snap, even in tight quarters.

At first glance the new Touran is recognizable from the front by its Volkswagen crest radiator grill in chrome design, a new bumper and precisely cut headlights; the optional lights available as bi-xenon adaptive headlights follow the stylistic design of the Eos. At the back the new rear lights and the bumper modified along the lines of the front section allude to the second Touran generation. Numerous interior modifications and expanded standard equipment top off the extensive package of measures. Starting in spring 2007, the highest performance gasoline direct injection engine, a Twincharger with 125 kW / 170 hp, will be employed in the Touran for the first time. The gears of this sporty as well as thrifty 1.4 TSI are changed via the standard DSG direct shift gearbox. The 103 kW / 140 hp strong Touran 1.4 TSI, whose Twincharger is also optionally available with DSG, will get started right at market launch.

Park Assist guides the Touran into that space under 15 seconds

Another technology highlight of the Touran is the optional parking guidance assistant (including Park Pilot / distance warning front and back). Developed by Volkswagen, “Park Assist” enables automatic parking. “Park Assist” is activated at the push of a button. While driving by at speeds of up to 30 kph an ultrasonic sensor system detects all parking spaces on the right and left that are parallel to the driving lane; a control unit calculates the ideal path for parking. “Park Assist” notifies the driver about the starting position via display in the instruments. After engaging reverse gear the van maneuvers into the parking space in under 15 seconds. During the entire parking process the driver only has to accelerate and brake – the Touran does the steering.

The latest generation of the van bestseller starts at 20.460 euros

The Touran is regarded as the all-round talent for private and/or business use due, among other things, to its unrivaled range of innovative engines and gearboxes as well as its great interior versatility and capacity. From a standing start the first generation introduced in 2003 advanced to the most successful van series in Germany (approx. 8,000 new registrations per month); in Europe the Touran is also one of the most sold models of its class (11% market share in the segment). The new Touran should strengthen this position. At a purchase price of 20.460 euros (Touran Conceptline, 75 kW / 102 hp) it can be recommended in terms of economy.

Stainless steel, new materials and uncompromising safety features

New upholstery fabrics and appointments breath new life into the interior of the next generation Touran, lending it a more refined feel. The middle plate of the instrument panel, for example: It is now crafted in a stainless steel design. The same is true for the area around the standard storage compartment above the middle console. In addition, the basic “Conceptline” version is refined by the new “Media” interior trim. The “RCD 300” radio-CD system with integrated MP3 mode is standard on-board equipment. Also true in terms of safety: no compromises. Front, side and head airbags are included as standard features, as well as the ESP Electronic Stabilization Program including counter-steering feature and trailer stabilization.

New features also refine “Trendline” and “Highline”

The stainless steel theme is even more enhanced in the next highest equipment version: The décor strips here also exhibit this design. It has a sporty character matching the new “Energy” interior trim. The Touran Trendline now comes with the semi-automatic “Climatic” air-conditioning system as standard equipment (previously a Highline equipment feature). Taken from its predecessor are practical details such as the folding front passenger backrest with table and load-through facility.

At Volkswagen “Highline” traditionally refers to the most exclusive equipment version. In the case of the updated Touran this includes, among other features, newly designed 16″ light-alloy wheels (“Magny Cours” design), the refined “Mando” interior trim, an air-conditioning system (Climatronic instead of Climatic), the most powerful version of the “RCD 300” audio system with eight speakers and ParkPilot for the back.

Innovative extras for an all-round automotive talent

In addition to “Park Assist”, “Hill-Starting Assistant”, daytime running lights and bi-xenon headlights with cornering light, the new optional equipment for the second generation Touran includes a variable luggage compartment floor with two integrated storage compartments and a DVD-based radio navigation system (“RNS MFD DVD”).

140 hp Twincharger with DSG direct shift gearbox

The new top gasoline engine is, as described earlier, the Twincharger 1.4 TSI with 103 kW / 140 hp, first used in the Golf GT. In combination with the new Touran the dual charged high-tech engine (charged via compressor and turbocharger) enables a top speed of 198 kph while running on an average of only 7.5 liters of fuel per 100 kilometers. The basic version engine Volkswagen offers for the Touran is a 1.6 liter gasoline engine with 75 kW / 102 hp.

A 125 kW / 170 hp TDI engine is at the top of the diesel engine range. The entry level here is a TDI with 66 kW / 90 hp. In the next TDI performance levels Volkswagen offers the new Touran with 77 kW / 105 hp and 103 kW / 140 hp. Another innovative way of saving without forgoing driving pleasure is the 80 kW / 109 hp natural gas version of the Touran, the “EcoFuel”, that will also be available at market launch. A world-wide novelty in the van segment: All TDI and TSI engines (at least 77 kW / 105 hp) can be combined with the DSG direct shift gearbox – in the eyes of many experts and customers the sportiest and most economical automatic transmission in the world.

Interior concept with up to seven seats and 1,989 liters of storage volume

The innovative seating system of the Touran shows the way in terms of versatility. Article originally posted on Babez.de! The three light-weight seats arranged next to one another in the second row can be quickly and easily moved – lengthwise and offset diagonally, folded down or removed. The Touran can be optionally equipped with a third row of seats; when not in use the two full-fledged individual seats can each be easily lowered separately into the luggage compartment floor. The luggage compartment of up to 1,989 liters (depending on seat configuration) is also a hallmark of versatile and efficient usability.
