DESIGN: 2020 VOLKSWAGEN TOURAN 2.0 TDI 150 Cv Business [Typ 5T] l Walkaround

The second generation #Volkswagen #Touran was introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. It uses the Volkswagen Group MQB platform and offers increased cabin space, four new engines with 19% less fuel consumption, and an array of new advanced driver-assistance systems and infotainment options.


The Touran features a total of six new or perfected engines - three petrol engines (TSI) and three diesel units (TDI). All the engines are four-cylinder direct injection engines with turbocharging and all are fully compliant with the Euro 6 emissions standard. Stop/Start and brake energy recuperation systems are fitted to all models. Although the new engines are up to 19 per cent more economical, it was still possible to improve their performance and thus the vehicle's agility. The TSI engines (efficiency class B) develop 81 kW / 110 PS, 110 kW / 150 PS and 132 kW / 180 PS. The TDI engines (efficiency class A) also produce 81 kW / 110 PS and 110 kW / 150 PS, with the top-of-the-range version delivering 140 kW / 190 PS.



With the exception of the base model (TSI with 110 PS), all the engines can be combined with an automatic dual-clutch gearbox (DSG). The 6-speed and 7-speed DSG versions are equipped with a coasting function, whereby the engine is disengaged from the drivetrain when the vehicle coasts in order to utilise kinetic energy in an optimal manner and thus reduce fuel consumption even further.
