There is a variant that is available here in Australia that uses a 4 x 4 system called 4xMotion (the set up you have there is called 4Motion over here) that uses a low range transfer case, center and rear differential locks, height adjustable air suspension and some other goodies too, the Touregs fitted with it are absolute beasts off road while still maintaining their on road refinement.
The original Touareg had that here....but like so often in USA, they have to make them boulevard cruisers to appease the masses. In other words, they have to make them soft and cushy...and wimpy. ☹️
Looking at getting a 2015 one here in Canada with only 60K kilometres. In Exec R-line trim too. How is overall reliability of it for you? And overall ownership experience?
@@MattySquared More like the cars get 40. The max MPG on the hwy is like 28-29. Mine has 137,000 now and have the emissions fixes and I still average the same.
@@olegk455 Because it's the best combination of luxury on-road and the off-road beast car. At the same time it's very reliable car. I'm also willing to buy a 2015-2016 model!
@@mareklansky2948 My search for 15-16 Touareg TDI was not very successful, since they are so hard to get lately with lower kilometres, so we ended up getting a very nice 2013 Audi Q7 TDI S-line package and we like it a lot. I know it’s not quite the same and more expensive to own in the long run but I am a mechanic by trade so that will help. It’s quite a bit more spacious than Touareg for our family needs but my god that thing is a behemoth of a vehicle.
@@olegk455 Добрый день, Олег. Скажите, не разочаровались ли вы Ауди Q7? Тоже дилемма выбора между Touareg 2015 или Q7 примерно того же года. Ауди больше нравится,плюс имеет 7 мест, что для меня не менее важно. Но!!! 1.) на много ли Ауди будет дороже в обслуживании. 2) надежнее ли Touareg , чем Q7 ? Если да ,то как сильно. Заранее спасибо.

Just under "20 mpg city" is poor but then some how it manages nearly 30 mpg hwy which is good. But to say 700 miles on a full tank is not a mpg rating at all. I would ask, what size is the gas tank? 14 gallon? 20 gallon? What?
Chris Boyer I kinda of skirted looking up the specs. I suspected the devil was in the details. 26 gals is a lot of gas but it somehow beats my honda element which does 17 to 18 MPG and will get about 250 miles off of 13 gallions. I never go all the way to empty. But suffice to say 26 gallons would get me about 500 miles.
Chris Boyer One is a logistical matter, the other is a financial matter. A big tank and average fuel economy does not mean you save money over a vehicle with a smaller tank and better fuel economy.

I am at 80,000 miles on mine 2014 TDI. Best SUV i have ever bought. Average 24 mpg for daily driving.
good reliability?
Have you had any issues with it?

How do you get 24?? I’ve heard these get 40 combined easy

...so funny how that's 100% the universal name for them. 😂

Are those my bags? No... Are those? Oh, THERE they are. - Says Dave NEVER.
Great review . Greetings from sweden.
heavy is good in the rainy places like Portland they handle better. lighter cars aren't as good in the rain
VW Touareg v6 tdi Rline is my preferred car
Can you elaborate on why exactly? That is exactly what I am looking at to get. It’s 2015 model.
So is mine :)

180 mph on the speedo is a little excessive in my opinion. Other than that it's a solid vehicle.
I know I'm kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online ?
@Chase Ezra Lately I have been using flixzone. Just search on google for it :)
You wish the gas mileage was better!? It’s a 5,000 lb. SUV which gets 20/29/23 mpg. how much more do you want?
1:19 the gopher roams in the background.
I Would like to see Dave Ericson a TDI Touareg, LR4, MDX, Land Cruiser, BMW X5 Diesel. Could you do a Comparison with the 2016 ?
He said about a 700 mile fuel range, which no crossover even gets close to. Then at the end he complains about the fuel mileage, which makes no sense.

Detroitblue About 26 gallons.

It weighs nearly 5000 pounds?
Thanks 😊
Is 4-Motion similar to Audi's Quattro?
Yap, just a different name
Aww look at your "baby face" from 6 years ago. 😁☺️
Great car. But 51k seems a little too high for a vehicle with no leather or sunroof.
But when you think about it, the X3 and GLK also don't have leather or a sunroof for the same price, and they're smaller.
I dont think jx35 is not in the same level of tourage or x5
That luggage though
Had to scan for that section - thanks for the lol
Cargo room doesn't seem.that much. My elantra touring has more.
Boy, for being a bigger car, it doesn't have much cargo. A 2014 Ford Escape has more room 34.3 seats up...67.8 seats folded. ( Flat by the way).

You seem like a good guy, but if you want your reviews to matter to people, you really need to critique them realistically and without fear.

very cute guy
For a Volkswagen it's overpriced. It doesn't lead in any category: off-road nah, luxury, nope, power lol no no, mpg meh, brand hell na.
He should stick with gas he knows nothing about diesel
Sat T he will, thanks.
