Who should buy a Volkswagen Touran: why people buy it for the family

Buying a Volkswagen Touran pays off for many reasons. This is not simply a «big passenger car» but a well-thought-out family compact van where every centimetre of space is used logically. That is why the Touran appears so often in the searches of young families looking for convenience and a sensible price. The car has proved itself both in city use and on motorway trips. Buying a Volkswagen Touran is chosen for these advantages: 1. Cabin space – even the second row is comfortable, and there is genuine legroom between the rows. 2. Convenience in the city – compact dimensions compared with minivans, parks without stress. 3. Boot – in the base 5-seat configuration it is bigger than in most hatchbacks and crossovers of the same class. 4. Economy – the diesel Touran is especially economical on the motorway; the petrol versions do not «eat» too much either with a calm driving style. 5. Family-oriented layout – handles, locks, ISOFIX mountings, a high seating position without «climbing down» into a low cabin. 6. A choice of seat numbers – there are 5-seat models and a 7-seat Touran, so you can choose for specific needs. But you should not plan to buy a Touran if you need all-wheel drive for regular off-road use. Here it is better to consider an SUV. A family of 8-9 people needs a large minivan (Sharan, Caravelle); this model's capacity will not be enough.

Which Touran generation is better to take: I, the facelifts or II

The question of generation is one of the most important, which is why it comes up first in a search. The Volkswagen Touran's price differs significantly between the I and II generations. But the difference in equipment and comfort is real too. It is important to understand that every generation has its strengths and typical weak points. If you plan to buy a Touran, they are worth considering.

Touran I – an affordable entry and many offers on the used market

The Touran I was produced from 2003 to 2006. Drivers in Ukraine still often want to buy a Touran of this generation. It is the most affordable option by price. The generation suits those looking for a used Touran on a minimal budget or who simply want to try this class of car. But the car's age requires more care during the inspection.
