The Volkswagen Touran is a type of car made by the German company Volkswagen. It first came out in 2003. It's known as a compact MPV, which means it's a smaller car designed to carry many people or lots of stuff.

The Touran was built using the same base, or "platform," as the fifth generation Volkswagen Golf car. When it first launched, it had different engine choices.

  • Petrol Engines:
    • A 1.6-liter petrol engine with 102 horsepower.
    • A 1.6-liter FSI petrol engine with 115 horsepower.
    • A 2.0-liter FSI petrol engine with 150 horsepower.
  • Diesel Engines:
    • A 1.9-liter TDI diesel engine with 100 horsepower.
    • A 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine with 136 horsepower.

In 2004, the diesel engines got an update. The 1.9-liter TDI engine became available with either 90 horsepower or 105 horsepower. The 2.0-liter TDI engine was updated to 140 horsepower.

The Touran got a new look, or "facelift," in late 2006. The older 1.6-liter and 2.0-liter FSI petrol engines were replaced. New 1.4-liter TSI petrol engines were introduced, offering 140 horsepower or 170 horsepower. The 2.0-liter TDI diesel engine also became available in a more powerful 170 horsepower version.
