Car Profiles - Volkswagen Touran

VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN

While your tastes dictate "German" and needs say "family", a car has arrived for you. Despite the little footprint, it offers a massive interior space mated to a diesel engine. However, there are other competitors who have more space inside, so decide wisely.

The Good: Interior space, exclusivity, vaunted German engineering.

The Bad: Size for the price.

Price Range: P1,775,000
