2017 Volkswagen Touran Owner’s Manual

The 2017 VW Touran is a family SUV with seven seats, that aims to provide decent value for money and a good level of practicability. Its style, nor performance, is going to win any rewards, but the Touran will offer you reliability, practicality and a decent level of tech too. It’s certainly a great choice and even beats rivals like the Peugeot 5008 and Citroen Berlingo XL.

The 2017 model makes a few upgrades over the 2016 version. For instance, the horsepower has been increased to a limit of 188, which is around 70 horsepower higher than last year. The 2017 model also has greater torque than the 2016 model and some higher-level tech too, depending on your trim level. These aren’t drastic changes, but they do help to keep the Touran a competitor in the market.

Under the hood, the 2017 Touran comes with a few choices of engine. The best of the bunch is probably the 1.4-liter TSI, which produces 150 horsepower. This allows the car to accelerate from 0-60 in under 9 seconds, which is not bad for a car of this size. The engine also feels smooth and refined, and has a decent fuel economy too.

The overall ride of the 2017 Touran is very respectable. Passengers will have a comfortable journey thanks to soft suspension, and the driver can have some fun with accurate and sharp steering. The Touran’s performance isn’t the best when compared to its rivals, but it’s more than enough for everyday use.

The interior of the Touran is also a great selling point. All seven seats are very spacious and comfortable, with plenty of legroom for even the tallest passenger. There’s also a lot of cargo space, making the Touran incredibly practical.
