Why Would You Want One?

Well, this improved second generation model looks good, drives well and is tough. That’s one reason why it’s surprisingly good off road, plus as long as you don't need seven seats, it's hard to pick holes in its practicality. Prices are keen and it’s very well equipped too. There’s are lots of competitive VW Touareg business lease options too.

Give Me the Key Details...

Of you’re looking at a Volkswagen Touareg lease, you’ll find the engine range easy to understand. There are two units to choose from and they're both economical 3.0-litre turbo diesels, available in either 204 or 262PS outputs. We should point out that, quite apart from engines, not all Touaregs are created equal, especially if you're planning to venture off road. For anything a bit Bear Grylls, you might want to look to the Escape version which features the 4XMOTION off-road four-wheel drive system.

The Touareg never feels less than well-built and although the dash is a little overloaded with buttons, the controls are solid to the touch. The interior doesn't have the elegance of a Range Rover's or the slickness of Audi's Q7 but it certainly isn't put to shame in this illustrious company.  Wolfsburg wants to match its rivals on technology too, so has introduced a range-topping 'R-Line Plus' level of trim offering VW Toureg lease customers more sophistication.

The Bottom Line

A cynic might ask in what way a Touareg is class-leading and it would be tough to pinpoint one. But if instead, you think of this car as an artful exercise in managing compromises, you’ll see it's still well worth your attention. And with prices now overlapping with smaller mid-sized SUVs, its value proposition speaks for itself.
