New VW Touran 2019 Review Interior Exterior.

The MQB platform allows for optimal packaging. Here, the maximum utilisation of a minimum vehicle footprint, with all the associated practical advantages for driving and manoeuvring, is made possible by the innovative Modular Transverse Matrix (MQB). Thanks to the optimum packaging enabled by the MQB, the increase in the vehicle's overall length could be applied to an unusually large extent to the wheelbase, which at 2,791 mm is now 113 mm longer than that of the previous model. The longer wheelbase directly increases the usable interior space.

The galvanised body of the Touran is 1,814 mm wide (an increase of 41 mm on the previous model; not including exterior mirrors) and 1,628 mm high (a decrease of 6 mm; not including roof rails). The increased length and width and the reduced height give the vehicle considerably more dynamic-looking proportions – and provided an excellent opportunity for the designers to exercise their creativity.

The design of the Touran has been completely reworked. The Touran’s powerful and precise lines pick up the reductive clarity of the previous model. At the same time, the design concept was significantly further refined, and even reinvented in some cases, in order to give the vehicle a sharper look while retaining a strong underlying continuity, which is similar to what was done with the Multivan. What emerges is an original with an enhanced and noticeably lighter and sportier look, thanks to the long side windows and precise lines. Volkswagen was also able to improve the aerodynamics in the Touran further, whereby the aerodynamic drag coefficient has been reduced to 0.296 – an extraordinarily good Cd value for an MPV.

The more dynamic proportions, the expressive Volkswagen design language and the aerodynamic perfection achieved combine to give the Touran a sporty, powerful and modern air. With its increased overall length and longer wheelbase, the Touran also now appears considerably sleeker and more grown-up. The designers refined the overall shape of the previous body, giving it a more commanding aura by adding modern, sculptured surfaces which create dramatic interplays of light and shade and precise horizontal lines. For all its heightened proportions and increased dynamism, the outward appearance of the Touran remains faithful to its intrinsic character – that of a practical, high-quality MPV that offers plenty of room for ensuring comfortable long journeys.

The distinctive details of the Touran’s ‘face’ – the front section – lend it an unmistakable depth of class. The front is organised into a number of detailed horizontal sections that help to emphasise the sense of width. The lines all complement each other logically and harmoniously. For example, the cross pieces of the radiator grille extend naturally into the headlights to form a single, cohesive element. The headlights themselves are much slimmer than those of the previous model, and have a more three-dimensional shape; they also provide a common theme that unifies the front and the side sections.

Furthermore, the Touran was the first Volkswagen MPV to offer LED headlights as an option. The Touran is characterised throughout by fine, carefully executed details. At the front, these include the slim lower breather opening, which serves to accentuate the Touran's width and low centre of gravity.

Powerful wheel arches and horizontal lines form the visual accents at the sides of the vehicle. The window design is noticeably flatter and more stylish than in the previous model, extending once again from the A-pillar all the way back to the D-pillar. The new proportions of this glass surface, the more distinct areas around the A-pillar and D-pillar, and the glossy B-pillar and narrower C-pillar all add to the sense of exclusivity. The Touran is refined with smart chrome trim around the windows on SEL models.

Below the side windows is a precisely contoured shoulder line starting above the front wheel arch and extending to the D-pillar – another feature that emphasises the length of the Touran. An additional eye-catching highlight of the silhouette is the character line, into which the door handles are precisely incorporated. From the side, this gives the impression that the line and door handles are merged in one single strip. The character line is a classic style feature of the Volkswagen brand, one that effectively demarcates surfaces. In the Touran, it starts at the side profile of the headlight at the height of the A-pillar and continues through to its conclusion at the freshly designed tail light cluster. Another characteristic feature of the brand, the D-pillar, has also been given a more powerful and dynamic design than in the previous model. A distinctive angle in the outline of the side window and the elegant descent of the roof line give it a flatter and therefore sportier appearance than before.
