The VOLKSWAGEN TOUAREG (2007-10) 5DR SUV 2.5 TDI DPF ALTITUDE is a large, premium-leaning family SUV, offering a more substantial alternative to everyday crossovers. Its raised seating, roomy cabin and all-weather confidence suit families, longer-distance drivers and people needing space for passengers or luggage, rather than city-centre parking or first-time motorists. The 2.5-litre diesel is designed for relaxed, steady progress and can make sense for drivers covering regular miles, while the Altitude trim gives the Touareg an upmarket feel. Against rivals such as the BMW X5 and Land Rover Discovery, it is known for combining a solid, comfortable drive with Volkswagen’s understated design and practical ability.
