Bought a 2021 black Wolfsburg edition here in Australia coming from a new BMW 340i as I needed to tow and the BMW couldn't be fitted with a tow bar. I was worried I'd feel like a soccer mom but have been blown away by the performance, the economy, but especially the comfort. The criticisms about the lack of buttons are lost on me. I think the infotainment and integrated vehicle functions into the screen works really well. Most of the time you only need to adjust the temperature or seat heating/cooling/massage and all of these are super easy. Criticisms? The pretty average material quality for this price and Apple CarPlay integration which just looks lazy. There are a few features of the BMW I would have liked in the Touareg but overall it's amazing value for money.
Oh did you, that’s Awsome the black edition transforms this car, it looks amazing up close and we were really impressed. Great pick. I bet you u can’t wait. Thanks for chatting 🤗
I’m a big VW guy so loved this! Just wish I had £64k spare…..another great episode, love the 3 features and that 15 inch infotainment screen is Delish. Maybe Adam should drive on the next episode and oli goes in the boot, I mean back.
I am driving the 4.0tdi with 422hp - its a understatement monster. The real power after testing is 465hp. Its a very nice, quiet and comfortable car with some points which I dont like, some buttons are missing, to handle the aircondition is not soo easy, the soundsystem is really bad for such price and the lane assist is crazy nervous, always needed to switch it off at the beginning.
Thanks for sharing its always interesting to hear from real world owners. We loved the car and was really impressed. Never been a fan of lane assist. Always turn it off.
Bought one last month here in China. I’d prefer the diesel one but only petrol option is available in this country. EA839 3L V6 engine, 340hp and 0-60 less than 6 seconds. It’s a good suv I love it and I’ve hit 3000 miles in the first month!
Got my Black Edition in October 2022 after replacing my 2014 Touareg r line. This is the best car I have ever owned and well worth the large dent it put in my pension pot. What an absolutely stunning vehicle.
This is the type of comments we love reading! I bet you love it. It’s such a cool car and you can’t help but look back at it every time. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗
@@Christine_x A lot better than my older one Hun. I am averaging around 34 around town but on a long run over 40. A bit less in sport mode every now and again. If you get one you will not regret it.
Had mine from new since 2020. Absolutely love it, the only thing I’d like is actual knobs and buttons for the heating, find it very distracting when driving. Would also like apple car play to take up the whole screen rather than just a small square.
Yes full screen would look so much better. The screen is big enough for it to use. I don’t like it when screens don’t utilise all of the available space. Makes it looks cheap. Thanks for sharing and chatting 🤗
Just bought one, pretty much the same spec I guess albeit in Malbec Red, scheduled to be delivered end September 2022. Looking forward to it. I didn’t bother with the heads up display, don’t think it’s worth the money, but added massage chairs for my wife (no, really it’s for my wife :-)). Smooth is what I’m looking for and relatively cheap compared to similar cars in this segment. I’m curious how well the car will smoothen out the bumpy roads with air suspension and 21” wheels…
Thanks for the comment🤗 I think you will love the car. I agree with you about the heads up display. I actually find that it gives me a blood shot eye when I’m driving for long periods. So I’ve actually turned them off on other cars that have them or have the brightness right down. I’m sure your wife is going to love the seats lol. I honestly was so impressed with this car and really enjoyed our experience with it. You will have to let us know how you get on with it when it arrives. Thanks for chatting 👍🏽
Just a couple of weeks more, last week it was ready to be shipped. Once it arrives the dealer has to build in the dashcam and apply the ceramic paint etc. Exciting!
@@CarChatTV I am sure I will love it. Own presently Tiguan R Line and cant fault it, lovely car, it is just a tad too small for me so the Touareg will be the perfect replacement.
Another awesome review! I’ve heard a few critical comments about the haptic feedback in this generation of VW’s UI/infotainment system. We need buttons back 😅
Drove one, yes smooth, quiet, torqueee. For real men not Nancy boys or girls. Side Note, hilarious if any one would lower the boot a few mms to load it.
Thanks for the comment 🤗 that’s great news you have one ordered. But annoying about the long wait. I think that’s the case with many cars at the moment though. You will love it 👍🏽 thanks for chatting with us
Thanks for the comment🤗 That’s a great question. I think the Cayenne has a diff exhaust manifold and a different tune so it would be very interesting to see the difference if there is much of one. But would love to do a review on that. Thanks for the idea and chatting with us. Are you thinking of getting one?
@@CarChatTV yes I was. I had a look under the bonnet of both, and to be honest everything looked almost identical. Obviously the engine was covered with the plastic bit so I can’t go any further to compare the two. I feel stuck because if both cars have similar engines and spare parts, what am I paying the extra cash for? The prestige of owning a Porsche? Given the choice which would you recommend. The GLE coupe? The Porsche Cayenne ? Or the VW Touareg ?
@@buridah328 you are totally right. It’s basically so you can say you have a Porsche, although the material used and the interior will be amazing. Fundamentally it’s the same parts. I would say it would all depend on budget, the Touareg is a great car, but I think probably the merc GLE would be the pick as it’s in the middle. Let me know what you choose. Thanks for chatting 👍🏽
Hey JT, thanks for the comment 🤗 that’s a fair point. I wish I checked the trip when I took it back. Think I was having too much fun with it lol as was really impressed with the car. Thanks for chatting 👍🏽

Yeah manufactures are starting to do that. It’s annoying. I guess they are trying to go for a cleaner look. But it can be frustrating when you are used to something that was so easy to locate and use. Personally I like them separated but from a lot of new designs they are incorporating them into the touch screen! It’s a bit like the cameras for wing mirrors. Don’t like them lol thanks for chatting 👍🏽
Wait… really? The editor I thought put plenty of passing shots and footage of the car in. It’s been a while since we watched this vid as we shot it a while back. So sorry if you feel like you didn’t see enough of the car. I will pass on your feedback. Thanks for chatting 🤗
Beautiful take on car review on his part, but at least if they go on to do a car review, they can at least learn the proper PRONUNCIATION of it's name.

Great review, I ordered the Black Edition yesterday - can’t wait to get it now!
Oh did you, that’s Awsome the black edition transforms this car, it looks amazing up close and we were really impressed. Great pick. I bet you u can’t wait. Thanks for chatting 🤗
We have been waiting 9 months so far for ours……..may get it in Dec……..
Good luck - i have been waiting close t 2 years for mine.
I got this car for a year now and is the best car I have ever.
Pure power.
I add audio and is fantastic
That’s Awsome. The car is very cool. Glad you are loving it. Thanks for sharing 🤗

I wish they still made these available here in the U.S. Such a beautiful car!!

I have older version 2008 model and i still love it!
They are great cars arnt they. Thanks for the comment 🤗
@@CarChatTV Absolutely it is a great car! I want to turn it into offroad beast....any recommendations of the stuffs like suspension, big brakes, etc?
Had mine from new since 2020. Absolutely love it, the only thing I’d like is actual knobs and buttons for the heating, find it very distracting when driving. Would also like apple car play to take up the whole screen rather than just a small square.
I also agree that the Apple Car Play should be bigger and look more integrated. Come on VW lift your game and fix this for existing and future owners.
I got mine a week ago .. 2022- Black obsidian. I have RA and for my disability it’s almost perfect , doors can be hard to close without slamming
Congrats on the purchase I bet you love it. It sounds lovely. Thanks for sharing and commenting 🤗
My left ear loved this video!
Lol brilliant 😂 did the sound not come out of the right one? Soz about that
Black is too hot in Australia, white with black wheels is my preferred colour option.
Didn’t even think about that as over here in UK most of the time it’s cold wet and lonely. But that spec sounds nice 👌🏽 thanks for chatting with us 🤗
I got one 6 months ago, nice car but what is missed to fix the small carplay/Android auto size screen to be full screen and be wireless.
Yes full screen would look so much better. The screen is big enough for it to use. I don’t like it when screens don’t utilise all of the available space. Makes it looks cheap. Thanks for sharing and chatting 🤗
Brilliant Review…. Had one ordered since 15th June 2021 and it comes 2nd week august … buzzing 🎉…. VW all the way
Awsome thank you David! 🤗 wow so soon. Enjoy your weapon of a car. You will love it. Thanks for chatting 👍🏽
Great review, keep it up mate!
Thanks so much for the comment 🤗 appreciate the positive vibes 👍🏽
Nice car but wasn’t expecting that price tag! Would get q5 or eqa over this maybe even x4 coupe
Thanks for the comment Peter 🤗
q5, x4 are smaller class then Touareg which is better then q7 and x5, you must learn more about cars

That's my next car-the R-line 286 hp diesel version. Just in grey and on 19' rims. 21' are stupid. :)
Thanks for the comment Tony🤗 it’s an amazing car. We were both so impressed. You will love it. Thanks for chatting 👍🏽
@@CarChatTV I am sure I will love it. Own presently Tiguan R Line and cant fault it, lovely car, it is just a tad too small for me so the Touareg will be the perfect replacement.
Its true, I changed my 21' for 19' a d its more comfortable.
I have a 2020 1 and I love it
Amazing.. sad we can’t get here in Canada
Oh no really! What’s the alternative in Canada? Thanks for chatting 🤗
i hope to lease one of these middle of 2029 probably will have changed a lot by then
Please bring this car back to the US
We will make it happen! 🤞🏽
Another awesome review! I’ve heard a few critical comments about the haptic feedback in this generation of VW’s UI/infotainment system. We need buttons back 😅
Thanks for the comment🤗 yeah there is just something. Off with the buttons and haptic feedback. Could definitely be better 👍🏽
You get used to it. I hired one for 3 days and it was fine. Prefer the new steering wheel design over old for sure.
When was this filmed? They're over 73000 now
Hey John, filmed early jan 2022. No way over £73k where abouts are they priced for that? Thanks for sharing
Does anyone know how it stacks up against an X5 40D?
It’s sad they don’t sell this car in the US anymore.
That’s such a shame. What is your alternative to it that you like?
Will VW reintroduce the wonderful Touareg to the USA market? If so, when and what trim(s)?
Touareg or XC90 which would be your choice?
Ooo good question. Would have to go for the Touareg. Thanks for the comment 🤗
Drove one, yes smooth, quiet, torqueee. For real men not Nancy boys or girls.
Side Note, hilarious if any one would lower the boot a few mms to load it.
It’s made me feel like Batman. Such a beast of a cool car! Il try and film someone lowering their boot to load it LOL thanks for chatting with us 🤗
Wish VW brought this back to North America 😭😭😭
Ordered one September 2021. Leasing company currently saying December 2022 until it arrives 😢
Thanks for the comment 🤗 that’s great news you have one ordered. But annoying about the long wait. I think that’s the case with many cars at the moment though. You will love it 👍🏽 thanks for chatting with us
wish i had your problems pal
How is the engine compared to the Porsche Cayenne ?

Good review, although if you’re gonna refute 42.8mpg, it’d be good to tell us what you managed to achieve.
Hey JT, thanks for the comment 🤗 that’s a fair point. I wish I checked the trip when I took it back. Think I was having too much fun with it lol as was really impressed with the car. Thanks for chatting 👍🏽
@@CarChatTV it is good 👍 I ordered one last year, 2 days after renting one for a holiday. I watch videos like yours while I wait for delivery 😂
@@jtonline99 brilliant sounds like you got a beast of a car. I loved it, couldn’t get over how good the infotainment was. 👌🏽

Great video! But it’s a Touareg not a Toorag 🤣🤣🤣
Lol HONESLTY I’m terrible with names ha ha. Really appreciate the comment and kind words. Thanks for chatting with us 🤗
Hi is there non hybrid this car I need to buy but I don’t want the hybrid can
Hi thanks for the comment. This one isn’t a hybrid. So you are all good to go 👍🏽
I like it how can I get it
How can I get it please
I don’t want this Touareg
Pity that Touareg doesnt have a 7 seater option anymore :(
Thanks for the comment. Yes that would be handy! Appreciate you chatting to us 🤗
By the way, pronounced Tu-A-reg. Not Toe-Rag. 😂😂😂
Yeah I realised I was saying it wrong. Toe-rag sounds a bit more gangsta lol thanks for the comment. Much appreciated 🤗
weait they still making them? i thought they stopp making them to make the atlas
Where are you from rock? In the Uk we still Got them?
@@CarChatTV USA i was shocked seeing this video omg
I hope you don't get LandRover vibes in this VW... _I thought VW were more reliable than that!!??_ ;-))...
Thanks for the comment 😂😂😂 lol that tickled me.
0-62 In 6.3 seconds
0-60 in 5.8 seconds
Awsome thanks 🤗 are you a big Touareg fan? Thanks for chatting
"all the temp controls are in the touchscreen!"

Lol ha ha
2021... thumnail saids 2022.. click bait
We tried posting it with 2021. Didn’t get much traction. And wanted to showcase how good the car is. Well spotted. Appreciate the comment 👍🏽
Didn’t even show the outside of the car

VW Toerag?
