The 2019 Volkswagen Touareg range of configurations is currently priced from $28,990.
Our most recent review of the 2019 Volkswagen Touareg resulted in a score of 8.5 out of 10 for that particular example.
Carsguide Family reviewer Nedahl Stelio had this to say at the time: This was such a great, easy car to drive this week. The interior is luxe, the boot is enormous and there is plenty of space for families of four or five. It’s quite big and bulky, but was still fine to park and it really felt like a car of the future with the huge multimedia screen.

The 2019 Volkswagen Touareg carries a braked towing capacity of up to 3500 Kg, but check to ensure this applies to the configuration you're considering.
The 2011 R-Line package for the Touareg included plenty of extra kit, so identifying one shouldn’t be a problem. Those extras started with a body kit with a deeper front spoiler, side skirts and a rear roof spoiler. The R-Line package also extended to 20-inch alloy wheels.
Inside, look for stainless-steel kick panels inside each door, a different steering wheel, lots of leather, aluminium gear-selector and pedals and a 12-way electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

This is actually more difficult than it ought to be as VW Australia doesn’t seem to publish a Gross Combination Mass (GCM) figure for the Touareg. Neither is the GCM something you can confidently calculate by adding the Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) to the maximum towing mass (in the Touareg’s case, 3500kg). That’s because in many cases, a vehicle is not able to tow its maximum towed load while fully loaded itself. These limits are all calculated by the vehicle’s manufacturer and are seriously non-negotiable. It’s a bit of a trap for some owners who hitch up a big caravan or boat, only to discover that they then have very little payload remaining in the vehicle.
In any case, here are the relevant GCM figures for the 2015 Touareg: 150TDI – 6390kg; 180TDI – 6415kg; V8 – 6510kg.

The Gross Vehicle Mass (GVM) of your vehicle is 2890kg. That is, the total mass of the vehicle and its payload (including passengers) must not exceed this figure. The Gross Combination Mass (GCM) is the absolute weight limit for the vehicle, it’s payload and whatever it’s towing.

The Touareg's minimalist exterior design extends into the cabin with a tall dash ruled by horizontal lines accentuating its width. Our car was fitted with the optional 'Innovision Package' which adds an integrated 15.0-inch display for nav and media and a virtual instrument cluster. The complete effect is half the dash is a giant screen, and at night it's stunning. Leather upholstery is standard on all grades from the 190TDI up.
