We test-drove the 2014 VW Touareg TDI which includes a huge list of standard features including in the Lux are 20” Pikes Peak alloy wheels; Dynaudio premium sound system; Vavona wood interior trim; Vienna leather seating surfaces; Park Distance Control; Heated rear seats; Heated, multi-function steering wheel, 4MOTION all-wheel drive system and Area View 360º exterior camera to name a few of the luxury standard features. Although you can buy a base Touareg with a V6 engine in the $40,000 range, the Executive offers the entire premium lineup of features as standard, and is less expensive than its competition.
The Touareg’s interior offers an upscale cabin, an abundance of high-quality materials, plus plenty of cargo space, the front seats are very comfortable full day of driving.
The Touareg’s ride is more sporty than comfortable, there is minimal body lean and we found it to be a very comfortable ride that offered a tight turning radius, responsive steering that was very precise and great power.

Competes with:
