TOURAN

Why choose a Volkswagen Touran for your family car?

There are many reasons why a Volkswagen Touran makes a great family car. Here are three of the most popular:

Spacious

As you’d expect from a 7-seater family car, the Volkswagen Touran has plenty of space for passengers and luggage. The second row has three full-size seats with a further two seats in the third row.

Assuming you have a car full of passengers, you will only have a small amount of boot space - around half the space you’d have in the boot of the Volkswagen up! compact city car, for example. However, you’ll still have space for your day-to-day luggage, like school bags, laptop cases or a compact folding pushchair.

The game changer for the Touran is the ability to fold the rear seats flat. Fold the two rearmost seats down and get six times the boot space you’d have with the seats in place. This is the perfect option for your weekly grocery shop, allowing you to easily fit in multiple shopping bags, along with a pushchair.

For even more space, fold the second row of seats and double your available boot space again. With all seats folding flat to give a flat load space, you can load bulky items such as flat-pack furniture with ease.

Plenty of Tech

There’s far more to the Volkswagen Touran than just its size. Inside, it’s packed with technology to aid both safety and comfort.

Let’s start with safety tech. Safety is important regardless of who’s in the car, but especially when your full brood is in tow. Thankfully, there’s a raft of safety features on board the Touran to make every journey safe.

Highlights include Adaptive Cruise Control which automatically adjusts your driving to stay a safe distance from other vehicles and an emergency braking system that can react for you should you make a sudden stop. Lane Assist uses radar sensors around the back of your car to alert you to traffic in your blind spot as you change lanes.

Another handy feature is the seat belt detection system. We know little ones will love sitting in the car’s rear seats but this puts them far away from you, the driver. To keep them safe, an alarm will sound if they're not wearing their seatbelts while you’re driving.

Outside of safety tech, there’s a great infotainment system including a navigation system, DAB digital radio and Bluetooth connectivity - perfect for hooking up your mobile and streaming the family’s favourite songs. Don’t worry - there are two USB ports in the front of the car that you can use to recharge your (or your teenager’s) phone battery.

We also need to mention the Touran’s climate control system. It automatically detects the strength of the sun and whether your windscreen is steaming up, adjusting the temperature inside your car without you having to touch a dial. Handy!

Agile

Large families need a large car, that’s no secret. However, sometimes larger family cars can feel cumbersome and sluggish to drive. Not the VW Touran.

The Volkswagen Touran is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV or people carrier, as it’s also known). This means that while it has ample space inside to keep the whole family comfortable, it doesn’t have the larger dimensions of some MPVs.

Engine-wise, Volkswagen has developed powerful, fuel-efficient engines to enhance the on-the-road performance of the Touran. With swift acceleration, it won’t feel like you’re driving a bus around town.
