Reviews of the 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI
-
CNET Review
The Good: The 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI's diesel engine provides better mileage than its gasoline equivalent, and lots of power for towing or off-roading. Off-road capability is enhanced with a locking differential. Advanced driver aid technologies such as adaptive cruise control and blind-spot detection are available, along with a Dynaudio audio system.
The Bad: The navigation system made bizarre route recommendations, and its slow processor made destination input frustrating.
The Bottom Line: The 2009 Volkswagen Touareg TDI makes for a practical and stylish diesel SUV option, but its cabin tech only partially passes muster.
