Detailed analysis of the Volkswagen Touran Sport 1.4 TSI 140 CV (2010-2012)
General description
The 140 hp Volkswagen Touran Sport 1.4 TSI, a minivan that hit the market in 2010, is presented as a robust and versatile family option. With its direct injection gasoline engine, turbo and intercooler, it offered a combination of efficiency and performance that made it attractive in its segment. Its design, although functional, did not neglect Volkswagen's characteristic elegance, seeking a balance between practicality and a pleasant aesthetic for everyday family life.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel of the Touran Sport 1.4 TSI, the feeling is one of control and stability. The 140 hp engine, with its 220 Nm of torque available from low revolutions (1250 rpm), provides an agile and sufficient response to move its 1516 kg with ease. Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 9.5 seconds and a top speed of 202 km/h show that it is not a slow car, despite its family focus. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, together with the stabilizer bars, contributes to a balanced dynamic behavior, absorbing road irregularities well without sacrificing occupant comfort. The electric and speed-sensitive power steering adds precision and ease to driving, both in the city and on the road. The combined consumption of 6.8 l/100km, for the time, was a reasonable figure for a vehicle of these characteristics, although in urban use it rose to 8.9 l/100km.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2010 Volkswagen Touran is a clear example of the brand's philosophy: functionality and sobriety. Its lines are clean and timeless, with an aesthetic that prioritizes habitability and practicality. With 4397 mm long, 1794 mm wide and 1674 mm high, it offers generous interior space. The five doors facilitate access to a cabin that can comfortably accommodate five occupants. The trunk, with a minimum capacity of 695 liters, is one of its strong points, allowing a large amount of luggage or weekly shopping to be transported without problems. The 17-inch wheels with 225/45 R17 tires give it a solid presence and contribute to its stability on the road. Although it is not a design that seeks spectacularity, its discreet elegance and its focus on utility make it an attractive vehicle for families.
Technology and features
In the technological section, the 2010 Touran Sport 1.4 TSI incorporated elements that, for its time, were advanced and contributed to safety and comfort. The 1.4 TSI engine with direct injection, turbo and intercooler was an example of Volkswagen's commitment to efficiency and performance in small displacement gasoline engines. The 6-speed manual transmission allowed precise control over power delivery. In terms of safety, it had 288 mm ventilated disc brakes at the front and 272 mm discs at the rear, guaranteeing good braking capacity. The electric and speed-sensitive power steering improved the driving experience. Although it did not have the latest driving aids that we see today, its equipment was solid and functional, focused on offering a safe and comfortable travel experience for the whole family.
Competition
In the competitive compact minivan segment, the 140 hp Volkswagen Touran Sport 1.4 TSI faced tough rivals. Models such as the Renault Grand Scénic, the Citroën C4 Picasso or the Ford C-Max offered alternatives with different approaches in design, equipment and engines. The Touran was distinguished by its build quality, Volkswagen's mechanical reliability and dynamic behavior closer to that of a passenger car. Its generous trunk and the versatility of its interior were key points against the competition, attracting those looking for a practical and well-resolved family vehicle, with a touch of distinction and the solidity of German engineering.
Conclusion
