2012 Volkswagen Touareg Review
By KBB.com EditorsIf an on-road dynamic is more important than off-road capability, today's Volkswagen Touareg is one of the better choices in the marketplace. A rigid structure and all-independent suspension provide t
If, in selecting an SUV or crossover, your emphasis is on cubic volume or the ability to clear fallen timber, this isn't your cup of SUV. For you, there's a Jeep Grand Cherokee or 4WD Chevy Tahoe. The
With three responsive powertrains connected to Volkswagen's 4Motion all-wheel drive and 8-speed automatic transmissions, all variants of the 2012 Touareg provide a level of driving engagement rare in the SUV/crossover category. Given that the Touareg platform was developed in partnership with Audi and Porsche that shouldn't come as a surprise, but there's no evidence of dumbing down the Touareg to reflect its more modest window sticker. We enjoyed the light, more "flickable" feel of the standard 3.6-liter VR6. With the 3.6 as a baseli

"It has been great so far. It has a solid footing when cornering, although you can feel it is a SUV. But better than others that I have driven so far. Very comfortable interior. Mileage on my TDI is been good, 27 MPG on approximately 85% highway drive. Too soon to provide any valuable feedback on its reliability, but I am hopping is as good as it's look and feel."

"The TDI Diesel is not worth it. People are inflating their vehicle's mileage. If you actually drive this SUV the way everyone does in real world conditions, you're not going to get the ridiculous 30-35 mpg that some people say they get. I've averaged about 23-24 mpg (Mid-High teens in the city / High 20s on the highway) with my Touareg TDI. That's good for a sports utility, and slightly better than my previous gasoline Touareg, but you have to remember that this vehicle stickers for several thousand more than a gas powered VW Touareg, costs more to fuel, and costs much more to maintain and repair. You'll save a few hundred dollars at the pump , but you are just going to spend thousands of dollars for everything else. You're just better off with a gas engine."
