The VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG (2018-23) 5DR SUV 4MOTION 3.0 V6 TDI 231 DPFR SS EU6 SE TIP AUTO8 is a large, premium five-door SUV, sitting above Volkswagen’s smaller family models and competing with the likes of the Audi Q7, BMW X5 and Mercedes-Benz GLE. It offers a roomy, upmarket alternative to ordinary family SUVs. Checks on mycarcheck.com recorded 54 look-ups covering 16 vehicles, giving a useful snapshot rather than a huge sample. The average private-sale valuation was £31,500, with recorded mileage averaging 40,000 miles and annual use 9,000 miles. Vehicles checked had an average of about 0.8 previous keepers, suggesting many were lightly owned. This Touareg suits families, long-distance drivers and anyone wanting comfort, space and confident all-weather traction. Its 3.0-litre diesel and automatic gearbox make motorway journeys relaxed. It stands out for a refined feel and towing ability; as with rivals, check servicing, condition and running costs before buying.
