Used Volkswagen Touran for sale

All Tourans have front, side, and curtain airbags, ABS, stability control, and anti-whiplash head restraints. ISOFIX mountings on the second-row outer seats are common, and the hill-hold function is handy on steeper streets. Newer models add features such as blind-spot radar sensors and lane-keeping assist, though these were expensive extras, making them rarities.

Earlier Tourans featured 1.2, 1.4 and 1.6-litre petrol engines, and 1.6 or 1.9-litre diesels. 2010-2015 models introduced 1.6 TDI and 2.0 TDI diesels, each using VW's Bluemotion Technology for improved performance and efficiency. All post-2015 Touran engines comply with Euro6 legislation and come with both manual and automatic gearboxes.

Entry-level versions usually offer Bluetooth, DAB radio, cruise control and air conditioning. Higher trims bring parking sensors, climate control and a touchscreen stereo system. Post-2015 cars are notably more up-to-date, featuring sharp infotainment screens, wireless phone connectivity and USB ports dotted around the cabin.

The economy depends on the generation and engine. The efficient 1.6 TDI diesel could officially return up to 61mpg, while the pre-2020 1.4 TSI petrols generally average between 40-47mpg. Real-world returns may be a little lower, especially on short runs or in town. The newest 2.0 diesel keeps the tax cost low, with CO2 emissions from 119g/kg.

Check service records and beware heavy clutch or gearbox wear on diesel versions. Ensure all electrics work, look for any condensation buildup in the headlights, and listen for knocks or suspension noises. For extra peace of mind, consider The AA Vehicle Inspection before buying used.

The Touran has a good reputation for reliability, especially with regular care over servicing. Owners praise its sturdy build and everyday dependability, though some older diesels are known for potential EGR and DPF issues. Petrol tends to be smoother and lower-stress – ideal for running the family around town.
