Volkswagen Touran (2007) with pictures and wallpapers (1145 words)
At first glance the new Touran is recognizable from the front by its Volkswagen crest radiator grill in chrome design, a new bumper and precisely cut headlights; the optional lights available as bi-xenon adaptive headlights follow the stylistic design of the Eos.
The Touran is regarded as the all-round talent for private and/or business use due, among other things, to its unrivaled range of innovative engines and gearboxes as well as its great interior versatility and capacity.
The Touran can be optionally equipped with a third row of seats; when not in use the two full-fledged individual seats can each be easily lowered separately into the luggage compartment floor.
2004 VW Touran 1.9 TDi (1071 words)
VW's new Touran fits in between the Golf 5 and the Sharan, and the family resemblance is obvious.
Although the Touran's styling is rather conservative it is recognisable as a VW and it also has the same solid presence as its family members.
VW's 1.9 TDI engine is no stranger to South Africa and in the Touran it has a power output of 74 kW at 4 000 r/min while torque is 250 Nm at 1 900 r/min.
