2015 Volkswagen Touran 1.6 TDI 110 SE Review Interior Specs Car Price Concept-It's a seven-seat Golf, basically, and that is no terrible thing for the new Volkswagen Touran. All things considered, we realize that the Mk7 Golf stage on which it's based is especially amazing, and the Golf standards of a quality inside, unflappable elements and smooth ride and refinement ought to convey the same amount of enticement to the MPV division as it does to family hatchbacks.
The inquiry is, can the Touran contend with solid rivalry from the Ford S-Max, Citroën Grand C4 Picasso and even the greater MPVs, for example, the Ford Galaxy and Seat Alhambra that it'll surely rival on cost in its higher-end variants?
This isn't an especially shoddy prospect and that could be an issue in this worth cognizant class. Indeed, even the base 108bhp 1.6 diesel motor in mid-spec SE trim, as tried here, has a rundown value that comes in at some £3k more than that of a Grand C4 Picasso, and is very little less expensive than the all the more intense 2.0 TDCi 150 Ford S-Max. 
As smooth and all around sorted as you'd anticipate. It swings through corners with simple and exact self-restraint, not falling back on understeer unless you push it preferably harder than any MPV is ever prone to be pushed, and it does as such with a lot of caution of much hold there is cleared out.
Body control is held firmly within proper limits, so you don't get the unpalatable, auto ailment prompting flounder and pitch of some delicately sprung huge human transporters, while ride solace is more than sufficiently malleable even on the standard steel springs of our test autos.
Absolutely you needn't include the £770 versatile dampers, since the standard set-up stays delicate edged over most potholes and stays sufficiently settled over high-recurrence interruptions.
This 1.6 diesel motor is somewhat of a mistake, however. It feels really drowsy, so you feel slanted to work it entirely hard through the six-speed gearbox, and it's not the calmest or most willing to rev of the diesels in this class. Still, it does the occupation enough, and what power there is touches base in an anticipated manner. 
For most purchasers, it'll be the inside that truly offers this auto. The dash is intelligent and simple to utilize and has a tasteful quality that is missing from any opponent with the exception of the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer, while space and reasonableness are among the best you'll discover.
In spite of genuinely reduced outside measurements (the Touran is shorter and smaller than a Citroën Grand C4 Picasso or Ford S-Max), it offers truly magnificent center line space, so two tall grown-ups or three youngsters will be fine, and the rearmost seats are likewise superior to you'd anticipate.
Access to the third column is sensible, in spite of the fact that's regardless it best left to the more able to climb through the genuinely wide crevice left by the tilt, lift and slide instrument of the center line seat. Once there, there's really as much room as you'd appreciate in a S-Max and more than in a Grand C4, so children will be completely fine even on longer adventures.
It's likewise a truly simple occupation to lift, fold or for the most part rearrange the auto's seat design, and you get five arrangements of Isofix fittings, which – together with the three separately customizable, sliding and leaning back center line seats - will make life simple for those with numerous youngster or supporter seats.
The boot is a decent size and shape, is level even with the second line collapsed and has a space for putting away the heap straight cover under the floor. You'll get a couple shopping sacks in with the third line being used, as well.
Keeping the driver upbeat is standard customizable lumbar backing, genuinely better than average reinforce backing and a lot of modification gave you're alright sitting genuinely high up. All in, practically any state of driver, in addition to their broad family, ought to have the capacity to get settled in the Touran. 
In the event that you don't need a full-estimate, van-like MPV yet you do need the best inside space and flexibility of the moderate size seven-seat tribe, then yes.
It merits indicating out that the Touran is surprisingly lifeless; this is an auto that has relinquished each and every scrap of appeal and character for its great target merits, and for most purchasers in this class won't make any difference a scribble - particularly since extremely sharp back arrangements by and large make the Touran pretty much as moderate as those opponents that have lower rundown costs in case you're purchasing on PCP.
In the event that you are one of those purchasers, the Touran is about more or less great this class. In the event that you esteem an additionally captivating driving background, look to the Ford S-Max.
