Volkswagen Touran 2006–2010 car dimensions: 4407 mm long, 1794 mm wide and 1635 mm high. Unladen weight is 1,502 kg. Braked towing is 1,500 kg.
The cabin offers a flexible single-seat system with three removable second-row seats that slide and fold, plus optional third-row seats that stow into the floor. Semi-automatic air conditioning is standard across the range, with dual-zone Climatronic electronic climate control on higher trims like Sport or Highline. Cruise control comes standard on all models. Parking sensors are available, becoming standard with Park Assist on Match or SE grades later in the period, while a touchscreen navigation system like the RNS 310 appears on higher trims. A reversing camera is offered as an option toward the end of the generation with certain audio systems. No automatic emergency braking, blind spot warning or lane keep systems are listed.
Boot space measures 695 litres in five-seat configuration with the second row in place. Folding or removing the rear seats expands it to 1989 litres on five-seat models, or up to 1913 litres on seven-seaters with the third row stowed. Even with seven seats occupied there is 121 litres remaining, and the load floor is flat with lashing points.
Braked towing capacity reaches 1200 kg on base engines and up to 1500 or 1600 kg on stronger TDI and TSI units, with unbraked limited to 750 kg across the range. Payload is typically around 650-680 kg depending on engine and seating. A sports suspension pack that lowers the car by 10-15 mm is optional, and some markets list heavy-duty running gear with raised clearance as an option for tougher use.
The cabin feels spacious and practical thanks to raised seating positions and ample headroom. Height-adjustable front seats are standard, with comfort seats adding lumbar support on higher grades. Semi-automatic air conditioning comes as standard, while 2-zone climate control is available on Sport models. An optional electric glass sunroof or panoramic roof lets in extra light. There are numerous storage compartments, cup holders and flexible single seats that fold or remove for versatility.
