Car of the Month: VW Touran - Sponsored by Volkswagen

Searching for a compact people carrier that offers bags of interior space and outstanding safety at a very attractive price? Volkswagen’s New Touran, now on special offer from just £13,777*, is designed for all your family’s needs - and it looks great too.

Space with style

With a dynamic restyle for 2007 the New Touran combines practical family driving with good looks and rewarding performance. This popular 7 seat MPV now presents a fresh, modern face with distinctive radiator grille and striking headlights, plus redesigned rear lights and bumper. The light, roomy cabin, with its superb driving position and great all-round views, has been updated with stylish new fabrics and stainless steel trim.

Ready for action

The versatile New Touran will take you and the family anywhere in comfort. Whether you are off on holiday, doing the school run, or packing in sports gear – and half the team – the New Touran has a practical answer. Its incredibly adaptable interior is ready for anything, switching in seconds from seven seats to five or even two, to free huge amounts of extra space. In all, it offers:

Over 500 different seat variations
Up to 1,989 litres of luggage space
Up to 35 storage compartments for all the family’s bits and pieces

Great features

All New Tourans come with a generous specification including:

Stylish ‘Misano’ alloy wheels
Electric front windows
Speed sensitive power assisted steering and multifunction computer
Cruise control
Semi-automatic air conditioning
Radio/CD player
Two 12-volt sockets, great for electronic games

Moving up the range, the SE gains front comfort seats with height and lumbar adjustment, CD autochanger and extra storage compartments. The top-of-the-range Sport boasts distinctive chrome trim, rear parking sensors and 2Zone electronic climate control. An iPod connection is optional on all models.

Safety first

Family safety has always been a priority in the Touran, which carries a 5 star Euro NCAP safety rating. Six airbags – front, side and head – are fitted as standard, as is Volkswagen’s Isofix mounting system for two child seats. All New Tourans have a range of sophisticated safety features to monitor driving conditions and guarantee great road handling. The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) comes with Hydraulic Brake Assist (HBA) to help prevent wheels locking, while the Electronic Stabilisation Programme (ESP) is capable of reacting within milliseconds to help restore the stability of the vehicle.

Power and economy

Leading-edge technology means the New Touran delivers exceptional performance and impressively low fuel consumption. There’s a choice of two petrol engines, the 1.6-litre 102 PS and Volkswagen’s award-winning 1.4-litre 140 PS TSI unit with optional DSG gearbox. The world’s first twin-charged, direct air injection petrol engine, TSI technology combines power and economy, while cutting CO2 emissions. The four great all-round performing diesel engines range from the 1.9-litre TDI 90 PS to the powerful 2.0-litre TDI 170 PS with Diesel Particulate Filter to further reduce emissions and optional DSG.

The Verdict

Opt for the New Touran and you won’t have to sacrifice style or driving pleasure for space. The New Touran offers all the room and practical solutions your family demands with top levels of safety, power and economy. And the classy redesign makes this great-looking 7 seat MPV an all-round winner.
