Volkswagen’s Touran was redesigned for the 2007 model year, and will feature nice specs like the fuel efficient and powerful 1.4 liter TSI twincharged engine as well as an easy to use Park Assist system that makes it child’s play to park the van.

The Volkswagen Touran will debut with a choice of two 1.4 TSI engines – a 140hp and a 170hp model, as well as four turbodiesel engines and an EcoFuel natural gas engine. The TSI and turbodiesel engines can be equipped with the venerable DSG gearbox. This is likely the most technologically innovative van on the market?

    That’s the new Proton Wish!

    Probably the most boring van ever built…

    I wonder how the 1.4 litre engine can carry something that big? Wow.. Brilliant german engineering…

    Is the Touran based on the Golf or Polo platform ? Overall the exterior design of the Touran looks kinda bland and straight forward. Nothing spectacular about it but I guess being a German car, looks well built.

    I notice that VW uses the WOB license plate on its cars in car magazines. Wonder why ?

    Oh my goodness!!! a 1.4L Twincharged TFSI makes 140hp!!!
    and they even had one that makes 170hp!

    Woh!!! this engine should able to make it fly!

    I would get one if its able to reach ourshore…
    and provided within my budget… Rm120-140k : )
    maybe have to wait for next-next-next-next-next NAP before it could reach within my budget!
