Detailed analysis of the Volkswagen Touran Advance 2.0 TDI 140 CV DSG (7 plazas) (2012-2015)
General description
The 2010 Volkswagen Touran, in its Advance 2.0 TDI 140 HP version with DSG transmission and 7 seats, is presented as a family minivan that seeks practicality and efficiency. With a price of 32,510 euros at the time, this vehicle is positioned as a solid option for those who need space and versatility without sacrificing Volkswagen's build quality.
Driving experience
Behind the wheel, the Touran offers a balanced driving experience. The 140 HP diesel engine, combined with the 6-speed DSG automatic transmission, provides a smooth and efficient response, ideal for long journeys and daily use. The electric power steering, sensitive to speed, contributes to a feeling of control and ease of handling. Although it is not a sports car, its road behavior is predictable and safe, instilling confidence in the driver. The suspension, McPherson type at the front and deformable parallelogram at the rear, filters out road irregularities well, ensuring remarkable comfort for all occupants.
Design and aesthetics
The design of the 2010 Volkswagen Touran is functional and sober, following the brand's aesthetic line. Its clean lines and robust silhouette reflect its family purpose. With a length of 4397 mm, a width of 1794 mm, and a height of 1674 mm, it offers a discreet but solid presence. The interior, with capacity for 7 seats, is designed to maximize space and modularity, with a trunk that starts at 600 liters, making it an ideal companion for trips and family activities. The quality of the materials and finishes, although without great luxuries, is what is expected from a Volkswagen, with a good sense of durability.
Technology and features
In terms of technology, the 2010 Touran incorporates elements that, although not cutting-edge by current standards, were competent in its time. The 140 HP 2.0 TDI engine with common rail direct injection, variable geometry turbo, and intercooler is an example of diesel efficiency. The dual-clutch DSG transmission is one of its greatest assets, offering fast and smooth gear changes. In terms of safety, it has ventilated front disc brakes and rear discs, and electric power steering that improves maneuverability. Its combined NEDC consumption of 5.7 l/100km and emissions of 149 g/km of CO2 place it in the Euro 5 category.
Competition
In the compact 7-seater minivan segment, the 2010 Volkswagen Touran faced competitors such as the Renault Grand Scénic, the Citroën Grand C4 Picasso, and the Opel Zafira. Each offered its own advantages in terms of design, modularity, or equipment, but the Touran stood out for its reputation for reliability, the quality of its finishes, and the efficiency of its engine-DSG transmission assembly, elements that made it a very attractive option for families looking for a practical and durable vehicle.
Conclusion
The 2010 Volkswagen Touran Advance 2.0 TDI 140 HP DSG is a minivan that more than fulfills its purpose. It is an honest car, without sporting pretensions, but with a great capacity to transport the family and their luggage with comfort and safety. Its diesel engine is efficient, the DSG transmission is a delight, and the build quality is what is expected from Volkswagen. It is an intelligent choice for those who value functionality, reliability, and a good balance between performance and consumption in a family format.
