Great review as always Thomas! I'm glad VW kept it 5 passenger, it was one of the things that lured me to my 2013. I'm not crazy about the front grille, but overall it's a handsome car.
Great review Thomas! You guys are the first to review so many hot new cars. I was disappointed when you said that this vehicle won't be coming to north America. ☹️☹️☹️
The design of this new one lack of criteria as off road luxury suv. The underlined mainly is at "approach" and "departure" angle. The two predecessor has much better of it. And the last one, I wish it comes with 3 locking diff. like g class but I can't see it will happen, at least until now. Oh please God..............
The new Touareg looks stunning especially with the impressive R-Line exterior package!🔥😍 Overall the Touareg is the best looking SUV in its class!🔝 The structure of the “Innovision Cockpit” seems to be very logical and self-explaining even if there are sadly no buttons left for the climate control.👍 Thank you VW for offering big and befitting engines like the V6 petrol/diesel, V8 diesel(!) and for not using fake exhaust pipes at this beautiful SUV.🙏👏 I hope VW will offer the VR6 in the Arteon very soon :| Thanks for the video, Thomas
Good review as always Thomas. The Touareg is really nice looking inside and out. Especially the blue colour on it is nice to look at. VW did a great job.
Kentajävel Volkswagen's design team stepped up to what? It's an Audi Q5 with a different grill. They don't have a design team, they have a photo copy machine that spits out "new" generations of cars.
Arteon is a new design and so is the new Q5. And still I dont see no resemblance whatsoever. The only thing that looks similar is the taillights that look like an updated version of the ones in the facelift CC. If you want the same design over all models, take a look at Volvo/Merc/Bmw. Haters gonna hate.
Exterior is typical Volkswagen flair, nothing much to expect there but the interior is quite impressive and has a much more cozier/natural feel than Q7 I think. Audi would have to update their pasted on center info screen as Volkswagen has got them beaten. Tops to Thomas for the relaxed review.
Thomas, the car was first debut in Beijing today. But until now I did not see such detailed introduction on Chinese media. You always get first hand information. I hope to see new Audi Q3 ASAP
Loved the unpronounceable German lesson for today Thomas - many thanks! This Touareg 3 looks like the big brother to a Mk2 Tiguan SEL with Outdoor Pack - with its squarer shape, raked rear hatch window, and similar headlights. Liked the bright coloured interior version with the blue paintwork.
There are more words in the English language than many other European languages so we Brits are not stupid when it comes to languages. Personally I quite like the German language but some words are more difficult to pronounce than others and trying to pronounce "Wankstabilisierung" if one doesn't speak any German is asking a lot.
cbcdesign001and SJW Maniac - agree. I personally like the German language. And Italian. I like all languages. I have great admiration for those with any talent. I speak a little French, but I am not talented! In my comment, I was just remarking that I always enjoy all Thomas's trademark sayings: eg his "German Lesson For Today" trademark, his "Thomas Driving Lounge", his "80-100...plop!", and his other sayings, etc! Cheers guys.
Honestly - this car just looks stunning! In my opinion much better outside and inside than Q7! I wanted to order Q7, but I'll just wait for the pricing and release date of the Touareg - probably much cheeper than Q7!
Finally good looking VW!!! Of course I like new Jetta too they have a almost same dashboard and front and. Since I can’t afford Touareg , going for Jetta 😀 . Very good job Thomas 👍
A lot of the interior design looks identical to the concept vehicle, which is very good it looks really nice. Looks better than any new Mercedes interior imo.
It's insane that the newest Atlas in Canada has NOTHING on the quality of this interior! There is more design and beauty in one door panel than the Atlas has in its entirety!
Great review as usual Thomas! I've been waiting for this review for nearly a year. As a previous touareg r-line owner I've taken a 2 year lease on an volvo xc60 (which is a nice motor too) as a temporary measure but I'll be flipping back into one of these in 2019. Look forwards to the driving review soon ; )
I love how every new model of just about any car ‘gets a little bit bigger’ - car park spaces however have remained the same! Did you know the VW Up is almost exactly the same size as the Mk1 Golf!
I think the LED lights with Dynamic Light Assist that Tiguan, Passat and Golf have, also allow for having the high beam on all the time as it automatically adjust the light as not to dazzle oncoming traffic - isn`t it the matrix LED already? If not, then what is it? What is the advanatage of a matrix LED??? It would be quite nice to see some review of todays lighting systems as it is quite confusing. It is also quite expensive item on today's cars and one is not really sure how worthwhile it actually may be.
I like the exterior and especially the headlights. They look really cool. But the main draw is the infotainment system and instruments screen. They need to get those into every car. So fast and stylish.
Oh come on vw you made for the second time (1st the arteon) a very beautiful overall car and all the staff is optional? Headlights, instrument cluster, infotainment screen etc. Better get an Q7 with less extras. It will be chipper. Very bad pricing strategy sadly. Thomas great as always!!!
I've long been a fan of the Touareg! I was thinking of waiting for this newest version....but late last year got a great deal on a 2017 USA model Wolfburg Edition with only 1,600 miles (driven by a VW Manager) and couldn't resist. Will definitely consider trading up to this newest version in a few years! But for now loving my 2017! Thanks for your excellent reviews Tomas / Autogefuhl.
Top notch review. The new Touareg beats the old one, it's more athletic and youthful. The rear design has a hint of the last gen Audi Q5 feel and the rear shoulders have the new Q5 undercut detail. Overall ,sharp looking ride. The proportions are right. Es ist sehr gut.
Dieser neue Touareg gehört definitiv zum Premiumsegment! VW macht sich hier Konkurrenz im eigenen Haus (Audi Q7) und konkurriert gleichzeitig mit Mercedes & BMW. Eine interessante aber auch sehr risikoreiche Strategie.
Excellent review from Thomas, as always. The 15'' infotainment...with touch controls only, why are manufacturers going in this direction? Design over practicality and, dare I say, safety. It is much more convenient to have separate controls for basic features such as climate control, seat heating, etc. It is all going to be too virtual for me...or I am getting old...
I wish they would have made the volume roller a knob. This is really nice. It’s a shame North America is not getting it. Since we have the Atlas as a bread and butter model, this could be the steak and potatoes.
9:13 hey thomas you look a little bit tired when you said "head up display by the waayyyyhhhhhmmm" !! i know the car has many options and features, so it's normally to get tired when we make such a detailed review of it !! but I really like the video ! and I am a big fan of Autogefühl !!
Great Review Thomas! Here in North America we are definitely saddened that Volkswagen has decided not to bring the Flagship Touareg. I am a Touareg owner, and believe Volkswagen is making a huge mistake only offering the ATLAS. For the premium segment market here in North America we are staying hopeful that Volkswagen will reverse this decision and bring the Touareg back. In the meantime, I will continue to enjoy my V8 Tourage and wait.
Bravo, Thomas! 👏🏻 Personally, I prefer the exterior design of the previous gen with rounded, softer edges. Same with Audi models especially the A5. ?: have any studies been done that show how (little) much of the tech presented to the occupants is actually utilized on a regular basis? The amount of technology fitted seems to be overkill unless you find yourself sitting on a ferry with time to kill 😎 I believe buttons/knobs for volume and climate controls are a must to help reduce drivers distraction. Ciao!
Excellent, comprehensive preview Thomas. Given that the mayor of Copenhagen has stated his intention to ban all new (Euro 6) diesel powered cars (ignoring older, more polluting diesel engines) by 2018, what are your thoughts on the engine line up for this new Touareg; assuming other cities throughout Europe could follow his lead?
Great review, thanks. That air vents under tthe infotainment screen are looks so close to gear lever. The gear lever could be very hot and uncomfortable in winter.
Awesome! And cool review brother, like always! Finally the four doors are not in common with the Cayenne, now each car has its independent personality and sure I like that! :))))
It looks good but resembles a lot with the Audi Q5, profile and especially the doors look the same and even the rear lights from some angles look as the ones of the Q5.
Definetely, if you curious about car you should follow Autogefühl. ★★★★★ VW is rally good car, new Touareg is also good job, exterior is conservative but interior is spectacular ★★★★★ See you next review....
I like the blacked out grille. The Golf steering wheel, or the glossy plastics not so much. Interior space doesn't look much better than a Skoda Kodiaq/Tiguan Allspace. 11:45 armrest didn't look so "fixedly attached". Center 15" touchscreen, just like in Tesla Model 3.
nice car good job thomas autogefuhl is the best car review people in the world look at what they look at a car fantastic video's i know we wind u all up now and again .cant have it all good keep up the good work how can we donate toward the channel ???
Driving review all-new Touareg 3: ruclips.net/video/0SS5vg07paw/видео.html
Autogefühl can you get the elegant version ,with a v8 .???
Excellent detailed video. I hope VW will reconsider and bring this vehicle to the U.S.
Great video! The first to give such an in-depth review as always! Can't wait for all this technology and niceness to trickle down to the MK 8 Golf!
The best looking VW SUV with Porshe and Audi DNA in the rear. Excellent review as usual Thomas.
Looks exactly like the concept. Great looking SUV...best in class imho. Really impressive. I’d also take the greenish blue...gorgeous colour.
VW is seriously stepping up the game with this Touareg. Looks great imho! Thanks for the great review (as always ;) )
Excellent car and excellent full preview! Good job Thomas!
Wish this came to America. This looks so much better inside and out than the Atlas and the tech is amazing.
Looking forward to seeing the Touareg 3 in person. As always thank you for being so early with the coverage of new cars Autogefuhl Team!
Beautiful and elegant SUV!. Excellent and complete video. Greetings from Chile.
Great review as always Thomas! I'm glad VW kept it 5 passenger, it was one of the things that lured me to my 2013. I'm not crazy about the front grille, but overall it's a handsome car.
Great review Thomas! You guys are the first to review so many hot new cars. I was disappointed when you said that this vehicle won't be coming to north America. ☹️☹️☹️
Looks so much better than the last two ones, great design
BMW ///M yeah, although I quite like the design of the First one
The design of this new one lack of criteria as off road luxury suv. The underlined mainly is at "approach" and "departure" angle. The two predecessor has much better of it. And the last one, I wish it comes with 3 locking diff. like g class but I can't see it will happen, at least until now. Oh please God..............

Definition of a beauty and Thank you again Thomas.
Good review as always Thomas.
The Touareg is really nice looking inside and out. Especially the blue colour on it is nice to look at. VW did a great job.
Great review Thomas... as always. Personally, however I find the design a bit "soft", but still nice overall
Volkswagens design team has really stepped up in the last couple of years. This looks really clean both in and outside.
Kentajävel Volkswagen's design team stepped up to what? It's an Audi Q5 with a different grill. They don't have a design team, they have a photo copy machine that spits out "new" generations of cars.
0/8, go bait elsewhere
It really does look like a Q5 with an Arteon mouth. Doesn't bring anything new design-wise, typical VW.
Arteon is a new design and so is the new Q5. And still I dont see no resemblance whatsoever. The only thing that looks similar is the taillights that look like an updated version of the ones in the facelift CC. If you want the same design over all models, take a look at Volvo/Merc/Bmw. Haters gonna hate.
Kentajävel There's no company better known for tired, copy and paste designs than VAG.
Awesome review thomas love your review style classiest man on youtube
thanks danny!!
Exterior is typical Volkswagen flair, nothing much to expect there but the interior is quite impressive and has a much more cozier/natural feel than Q7 I think. Audi would have to update their pasted on center info screen as Volkswagen has got them beaten.
Tops to Thomas for the relaxed review.
Volkswagen did a good job redesigning the Touareg!
Its really a shame for the new design, the previous touareg with its rounded shape was more appealing, to me at least...
Thomas, the car was first debut in Beijing today. But until now I did not see such detailed introduction on Chinese media. You always get first hand information. I hope to see new Audi Q3 ASAP

Dude the intro music. No one is doing these like you bro. Been loving your videos for a long time keep it up!!!
thx so much :)
Steering wheel is so old fashioned looking for that futuristic desing of interior. But it looks so much different than the other Vw’s.
Looks so beautiful , Great review Thomas . Can't wait to see you drive one.
Will do!
I will be watching my friend
That software is so smooth wow
Honestly - this car just looks stunning! In my opinion much better outside and inside than Q7! I wanted to order Q7, but I'll just wait for the pricing and release date of the Touareg - probably much cheeper than Q7!
Very nice and great presentation. If only Bentayga looked this good !
Finally good looking VW!!! Of course I like new Jetta too they have a almost same dashboard and front and. Since I can’t afford Touareg , going for Jetta 😀 . Very good job Thomas 👍
Volkswagen scirocco, arteon, tiguan r line 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
A lot of the interior design looks identical to the concept vehicle, which is very good it looks really nice. Looks better than any new Mercedes interior imo.
Amazing review, as always!!! Good job. Very nice car
Premium strategy SUV.... ready to fight BMW X5. This is so amazing, I love it, Thanks Thomas my good presenter. Greetings from Namibia Windhoek.
Never liked Touareg (VW in general), but this one is quite nice. Looking forward to full review. Good job Thomas, as always.
This vehicle look better then Q7 ! nice ^^
8:10 I love how the cameraman man gets amazed by the blue dot lights and can't stop filming them
Great review and a great car. The hybrid version is going to be great. Keep up the good work Autogefuhl!
Thx charles!
The best channel of RUclips about cars. I love it!!!
Yeah! 😎
very detailed, I enjoyed the review great stuff!!!
Who is this anchor. ...?
His speaking method is good. Every single detail he gave us. I enjoyed the review. .it's really great
Thanks says Thomas :)
It's insane that the newest Atlas in Canada has NOTHING on the quality of this interior! There is more design and beauty in one door panel than the Atlas has in its entirety!
Great review Thomas. A fantastic car with stunning quality. :-)

appreciated !
Such a beautiful piece of motor vehicle machinery both inside and out. Will definitely look at purchasing once available.
Looking forward to the driving review, then I shall order a dozen, in Thomas Blue of course!
Nice interior, i wish they made arteon's interior like that
Deniz Özbay quite sad how the arteon’s interior was made up of left over parts from other vws :(
Even the polo got more love with its interior
Very nice, particularly the lighter coloured interior.
I love how every new model of just about any car ‘gets a little bit bigger’ - car park spaces however have remained the same! Did you know the VW Up is almost exactly the same size as the Mk1 Golf!
I think the LED lights with Dynamic Light Assist that Tiguan, Passat and Golf have, also allow for having the high beam on all the time as it automatically adjust the light as not to dazzle oncoming traffic - isn`t it the matrix LED already?

It is also quite expensive item on today's cars and one is not really sure how worthwhile it actually may be.
Looks really nice. Elegant clean design.
There is something about this SUV that makes it special at first glance, but it is so with everyone, great and mighty
Excellent detailed video.
Tnx Thomas
I like the exterior and especially the headlights. They look really cool. But the main draw is the infotainment system and instruments screen. They need to get those into every car. So fast and stylish.
That front looks like Ssangyong Rexton
Nice review! Thanks for bringing it so quickly
Ricardo Frez I
Great review Thomas, detailed and high quality, a great watch
thanks and feel free to recommend! =)
The blue color!!
The rear is very Q5. The interior is extremely well done.
once again a great review Thomas!! i really love the new touareg, what a great car.
thanks !
very well balanced design
Very nice looking vehicle. I can see a lot of the new Audi A8/A7 design cues.
Excellent review Thomas. When will u be driving it?
hoping to drive it next month!
This is basically car asmr lol but great preview anyway 👍🏼
Thanks, great as always :)
Oh come on vw you made for the second time (1st the arteon) a very beautiful overall car and all the staff is optional? Headlights, instrument cluster, infotainment screen etc. Better get an Q7 with less extras. It will be chipper. Very bad pricing strategy sadly. Thomas great as always!!!

cheers! Keep us updated :)
Will do! I'm very happy here in Cayman Islands we will continue to get the Euro spec new Touareg.
ohh nice place!
Very impressed by the infotainment system
OMG , this is lightening quick , i mean your upload speed !
Top notch review. The new Touareg beats the old one, it's more athletic and youthful. The rear design has a hint of the last gen Audi Q5 feel and the rear shoulders have the new Q5 undercut detail. Overall ,sharp looking ride. The proportions are right. Es ist sehr gut.
Thx!
at some rear angles you can see hints of the bentaga design. great video👌🏾
Thx!

Mihai Scortea old
Nice soundtrack
Very sleek sharp looking design, love it.
Very crisp looking design. Although I'm not convinced about the edge detailing of the wheel arches, maybe it's the white colour
What is the intro music please. I'm impressed by this new design
you just gotta love some driver oriented cockpit
Sure is nice. ....rather have the Atlas though. ....I think. Would have to try them both.
I wish they would have made the volume roller a knob. This is really nice. It’s a shame North America is not getting it. Since we have the Atlas as a bread and butter model, this could be the steak and potatoes.

Thanks! Yeah... where did u get ur Touareg?
like my 14 exterior look but absolutely impressed by the new touareg interior design and technology. sad it's not available in US!
Beautiful machine! Love my Touareg.
I love it. 2022 is my year for one so a I am expecting a few tweaks by then.
Bravo, Thomas! 👏🏻

They should also offer the hybrid in Europe
Top car - top review !!! Thx Thomas :-)
Great review, thanks. That air vents under tthe infotainment screen are looks so close to gear lever. The gear lever could be very hot and uncomfortable in winter.
Awesome! And cool review brother, like always! Finally the four doors are not in common with the Cayenne, now each car has its independent personality and sure I like that! :))))
Shame this isn’t coming to the US, I’d rather have this than our Atlas. Great video as usual!
Appreciated!!
The Tiguan in the R-line trim is way more agressive and beautiful in the front. Overall I would choose the Tiguan instead also because off the price.
It looks good but resembles a lot with the Audi Q5, profile and especially the doors look the same and even the rear lights from some angles look as the ones of the Q5.
Definetely, if you curious about car you should follow Autogefühl. ★★★★★
VW is rally good car, new Touareg is also good job, exterior is conservative but interior is spectacular ★★★★★
See you next review....
Should’ve given it at least a gti steering wheel
Is it just me or for the first time the boot sensitivity test was missed? Whaaaat??? Same was not touched upon in Brian's video. Bootgate? 😁
Nice New car, thank u Thomas
Good job!
I like the blacked out grille. The Golf steering wheel, or the glossy plastics not so much.
Interior space doesn't look much better than a Skoda Kodiaq/Tiguan Allspace.
11:45 armrest didn't look so "fixedly attached".
Center 15" touchscreen, just like in Tesla Model 3.
North America needs this
nice car good job thomas autogefuhl is the best car review people in the world look at what they look at a car fantastic video's i know we wind u all up now and again .cant have it all good keep up the good work how can we donate toward the channel ???
Thx so much m8
My concern is off road ability. Is it better, equal, or worse than the predecessor?
