Touran 2.0 TDI BlueMotion Technology (Germany, 2010)

In 2010 Volkswagen premiered in Leipzig the second generation of its MPV, the Touran. After 1.13 million units of the first series were sold, the Touran appeared with an updated look, following Volkswagen’s “design DNA”.

The 2010 Touran offers a range of eight engines. With an output between 90 PS and 170 PS all the eight engines follow the Volkswagen downsizing principle, offering less engine displacement, lower emissions, lower fuel consumption at more torque. The two 2.0-litres engines are the most powerful TDIs for this generation. With 140 PS and 170 PS of output, these engines have increased fuel saving up to 1.2 l/100 km. The 170 PS TDI has a standard six-speed DSG, while DSG is offered as an option on the 140 PS variant. The latter is also available with BlueMotion Technology.

In terms of design the body of the Touran was almost completely restyled. This generation model had its bumper, radiator grille, engine bonnet, wings and headlights adapted to the Volkswagen “design DNA”. At the rear, the MPV’s lights are the main new feature. For the first time they have been designed in two-part modules, extending from the wing into the tailgate.
