The best value for the money

This vehicle is amazing. It is sturdily built, and it is comfortable, strong, fast, and great looking. The price for this car compared to a Porsche Cayenne makes it an incredible value. So much so that this is the last Touareg in the US market so that it wouldn't compete against their Atlas versions.

10 years old still no problems. Silky smooth diesel engine with over 400 lbs of torque. Lots of towing climbing power. More comfortable than Audi A7. A Porche for VW Price!
