The Volkswagen Touareg is the quiet luxury option among big SUVs — an Audi Q7 and Porsche Cayenne relative that costs a fraction of either used, with a six-cylinder engine, an air suspension option and far more refinement than its price suggests. We have 7 used Touaregs listed.
How much does a used Volkswagen Touareg cost in the UAE?
Our closed UAE sales put a 2019 Touareg at an average of AED 84,000, a 2018 at AED 51,000 and a 2014 at AED 25,000. A recent car costs about 37% less than a new Touareg. Live asking prices run from AED 20000 for a late-2010s example up to AED 260000 for a current-year one.
Which used Volkswagen Touareg year should you buy?
Know which generation you are looking at. The 2011 to 2017 car is comfortable, well built and cheap now. The third-generation Touareg arrived for 2019 on a new platform, with the wide curved-screen cabin, air suspension and a different chassis feel — that is the one that still looks modern, and a 2019 car with full history is the most Touareg for the money.
Is a used Volkswagen Touareg reliable?
Better than the class, which surprises people: a fault in the engine, gearbox, suspension or steering shows on 14% of the Volkswagen Touaregs we inspect in the UAE, against the 21% we would expect for large SUVs of the same age and mileage here. The Audi Q7 — much the same engineering — runs at 35% against the 24% expected for its own age and mileage, which shows how much maintenance history matters here. At a median 145,000 km, the air suspension and the cooling system are where the money goes.
Volkswagen Touareg or BMW X5?
The BMW X5 costs more and drives better, and its panel record is strong at 44% showing prior repair against the 65% expected for SUVs of its age and mileage. The Toyota Land Cruiser costs far more and is the honest choice if you go a long way from a workshop. The Touareg gives you the most car for the least money.
What to inspect on a used Volkswagen Touareg
- Air suspension at all ride heights, and for overnight sag.
- Cooling system and water pump, the usual expense here.
- Gearbox shift quality under load.
- Screens and electronics on later cars.
The suspension and cooling pages of the CarSwitch report decide the cost of your next two years with a Touareg.
