Volkswagen Touran Prices and Specifications

The Touran S is the entry-level model and is easy to spot because it has ugly plastic wheel trims instead of alloys – it’s worth spending more on a better-equipped SE Family model. It comes with a 6.5-inch touchscreen, a DAB digital radio and a USB connection to play music from your phone. You also get air-conditioning, electric windows front and back, and electrically adjustable mirrors.

SE models get 16-inch alloy wheels and tinted rear windows, so they look smarter than basic S models. Automatic emergency braking is standard, plus you get parking sensors all round, and auto lights and wipers. The S models kit list is carried over, which includes a 6.5-inch touchscreen, air-conditioning, electric windows front and back, and electrically adjustable mirrors.

The SE Family model is the best value version of the Touran, and comes with a decent amount of kit It gets the SE’s automatic emergency braking system, auto lights and wipers, air-conditioning, all-round electric windows, and front and rear parking sensors, but adds active cruise control and sat-nav. Its panoramic sunroof helps the interior feel light and airy, and you also get rear window blinds and electrically operated child locks.

SE L models are the most luxurious in the Touran range. They get chrome window surrounds and 17-inch alloy wheels. They have all the kit of SE models – including automatic emergency braking, parking sensors all round, and auto lights and wipers – plus three-zone climate control, ambient lighting and door mirrors that fold and have a puddle light. However, the plush suede-effect upholstery trim will be hard to keep clean and you don’t get a panoramic sunroof as standard.

R-Line Tourans get the sportiest looks in the range, but they’re expensive. Standard kit includes 18-inch alloy wheels, R-Line badges and model-specific front and rear bumpers. Inside, you get R-Line sports seats and stainless steel pedals. Equipment is carried over from the SE L model, so you get three-zone climate control, ambient lighting and door mirrors that fold and have a puddle light.
