The Volkswagen Touran is one of the most practical and refined compact MPVs on the market. Built on VW’s MQB platform, it brings about car-like handling with SUV comfort and seven-seat versatility ,making it ideal for growing families or business use. With its efficient turbo engines, premium cabin, and advanced safety features, the Touran brings German quality and practicality together in one smart package.

The VW Touran is a European built family car that has largely been overlooked by Kenyans who troop en masse for Japanese options perceived to be affordable and cheaper to maintain. This perception is somewhat true but does not factor things such as safety, comfort, frequency of repair and overall build quality which are important for long-term ownership. In the grand scheme of things, the VW Touran is cheaper to run given that it requires less repairs and is much more durable than its Japanese rivals. Of course, it has its share of problems with the DSG gearbox which mainly stem from improper maintenance. It competes with the Honda Freed, Toyota Wish, Mazda Premacy and Subaru Exiga.
