Overview

The 2015 Volkswagen Touareg SUV is a proud member of the midsize SUV segment, locking horns directly with the Volvo XC60, the Acura RDX, and the BMW X4. Spread across four trim levels, the Volkswagen Touareg SUV starts off at a base price of MSRP of $44,705. Its 3.6L V6 engine and 8-speed automatic transmission give the SUV 280 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque. With that, it manages a 0-60 of 7.7 seconds and boasts a maximum towing capacity of 7,700 pounds. Moving to fuel economy, the Volkswagen Touareg SUV manages to get a combined EPA rating of 19 MPG, a below-average number for the class, giving its rivals an edge. It also has a ground clearance of 7.9 inches.

Buying Advice

It's best to get the Lux trim level with the Driver Assistance Package. Aside from that, it also has 19-inch wheels, a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, and power-folding and auto-dimming mirrors.
