Old guns are shining in their eyes! SAIC Volkswagen Touran is so attractive.

In terms of size, SAIC Volkswagen Touran is the largest car of Volkswagen brand in the world. How big is it? Middle-aged men in their forties and fifties like it very much. Including my father and some uncles, even believe that Touran is an Audi Q7 car, because their sizes are too close.

But in fact, Touran is a product of Volkswagen MQB platform, which has little to do with MLB of Audi Q7 and is more closely related to FAW-Volkswagen Golf, but so what? In the eyes of the audience of Volkswagen Touran, how can Touran, Volkswagen's largest car, be related to golf?

As far as you can see, this Touran is perfect.

In recent years, Volkswagen has sought many breakthroughs in design, and several new cars are pursuing a sense of youth, which is quite different from the Volkswagen we remember. But this Touang took a different style. I still don't feel like a Volkswagen SUV. The tough muscle lines of the whole car make it look more like an American car, rough and tough.

In fact, the hard appearance is not beautiful, but it doesn't matter. Old guns like it. In addition, its size is really too big, and it will soon become the biggest selling point of Touran. The length directly exceeds 5 meters, and the wheelbase reaches 2980 mm Is there no concept? About three fingers shorter than Audi Q7.

With such a big SUV, all the fashion trends will turn into jokes, and the big one will be finished. It will become feminine if it is too complicated. You see Touang can hardly find those trendy designs, and the whole appearance is just too big to be presumptuous.

The interior is also in this style. At first glance, it looks like a familiar and boring Volkswagen interior, but it is almost twice as much as everything, with a huge air conditioning outlet, a huge gear handle and a huge armrest ... This car not only looks, but also feels the momentum when sitting inside.

The whole car is carrying out the concept of "big". Who will worry about space? Sit up and walk around. If it's too narrow, I lose. Of course, the public can't do everything. There is indeed a lot of space in the back row, but it is also true that the cushion is short and the backrest is thin. Costs are dug up bit by bit in these places.

And its configuration is rich enough. The luxury version of the 380TSI four-wheel drive I experienced is about 60 thousand more than the starting price of the whole system. However, there can be 2.0T engine high-power adjustment, timely four-wheel drive, tire pressure display, automatic parking, engine start and stop, steep slope descent, uphill assist, automatic parking, panoramic sunroof, electric trunk, keyless entry/start, main/co-pilot seat 12 direction adjustment, front/rear seat heating, mobile phone interconnection, whole vehicle LED light source, rear independent air conditioning, etc. At the same time, the deluxe edition is also the most worth buying. You just need to decide whether you want a four-wheel drive system, because you can save another 30 thousand yuan by reducing a four-wheel drive system and choosing a low-power engine.

In a word, Touran is very flattering to everything you can see with the naked eye. I can even imagine the spark in the eyes of the old gun. If a 40-year-old man doesn't like Touran, I can only think of one reason: he is too rich to look down on the public.

In the part you can't see, this Touron still has shortcomings.

However, the MQB platform has its own limitations after all. It can be said that Volkswagen Touareg is the limit that MQB can pull out. Too big, MQB platform can't meet many places, such as the driving part.

Actually, I haven't driven a road in Aung, but several of my colleagues have tried and I feel not very satisfied.

Its power is fine, even a 2.0T engine can easily pull the car, because the turbine has been involved since 1500rpm, and the gearbox especially likes to downshift, which is very positive. Usually you can't feel the difference between 2.0T and 2.5T, but you will feel less confident at high speed.

As for the gearbox, the DQ500 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox is also the housekeeping gearbox of the public at present, and you can drive it without taking care of anything.

The problem is that it appears in the chassis. In the face of some ups and downs, the performance of the chassis is hard to say advanced, the suspension is not agile, the spring rebound has many redundant actions, and the comfort is also very general. To sum up, this kind of chassis can neither provide movement and control, nor bring stability and comfort. Of course, the premise of my saying this is based on the conclusion compared with my competitors at the same level.

But it's hard to find an opponent after all.

Volkswagen Touran is not a perfect car, but it is a car that can't find an opponent. You may choose between it and Highlander, but in fact, Highlander and Touran are completely different in positioning, size, grade and price.

Jeep's conductor can "touch porcelain", but his driving quality will only be worse. Except those who are superstitious about Jeep brand aura, this car is really nothing worth buying.

Of course, you can also consider Ford's imported explorers, the same tough body, huge size, but lower cost performance.

Subjective score: 8.5 (full score 10)

Touron can't be said to be the best product in terms of machinery, but it is definitely the product that can capture the hearts of consumers in China. It has done a great job on such superficial things as large size, large space and high grade. It is also difficult for you to find a slot in the matching of power and gearbox.

The penalty point is in the quality part of the chassis, a car that looks advanced, but the chassis has not reached the advanced level. Under the change, I will pay more attention to the ordinary performance of the chassis in my heart.

Touran's biggest surprise is that it can give you a medium-sized and large SUV with joint venture brand in the early 300 thousand, which is full of gas field and huge space. To some extent, this is its biggest selling point. Therefore, although the mechanical part is flawed, Touran can still shout to the market at this price and this body panel: "No one can fight!"
