Touran EcoFuel DSG (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.

Also in its second generation, the Touran continues offer a version powered by natural gas. The EcoFuel version in this generation consumes 4.7 kilograms of natural gas (CNG) per 100 kilometres in combined mode driving, which correspond to 128 g/km of CO2 emissions. When fitted with the optional seven-speed Direct Shift Gearbox fuel consumption is reduced to 4.6 kg/100 km and CO2 emissions to 125 g/km.

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.
