What to Weigh Before Buying

The Touareg’s 7,716-lb towing capacity is substantial, though the Chevrolet Suburban, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon figures show higher maximum towing ranges. Fuel economy also differs across these SUVs, making 18 city / 25 highway MPG an important consideration for drivers who spend significant time commuting.

Before purchasing, review the vehicle’s condition, service needs, ownership costs, and fit for your cargo and towing requirements. A Volkswagen service team can help with ongoing maintenance planning after your purchase.
