| 2012 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Diesel makes the extra weight of an SUV tolerable. In 4 months of use I've been getting high teens around town and 29 cruising on the highway at 70-75. Slowing down to 60-65 puts mpg just over 30. |
| 2011 | 4dr SUV supercharged 380hp 3.0L V6 Hybrid 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
GREAT Economy. It is a game to see how high I can get up to. Last evening in a 40 minute local drive 31 mpg |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV turbocharged 310hp 4.9L V10 Diesel 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
All that diesel power and I get 25 mpg going 80 mph on the highway. |

| 2009 | 4dr SUV 280-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
I do not have a heavy foot and the V6 gas version gets only about 19-21 on HWY at 60 MPH opposed to 24-27 with a X5. I drove 700 mi (interstate) and averaged only 19 @ 70 mph. Not good! |
| 2008 | 4dr SUV 350-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
Very poor. The V6 gets barely 18 and the V8 gets 17mpg of PREMIUM. But then again you buys knowing, still disappointing. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
This car gets 14.7 city and 17.5 HWY. On Premium Fuel. But we pay the price for the speed, comfort, and security of the Touareg. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 310-horsepower 4.2L V8 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
14-16 mpg light loads around town; 6-9 when towing. |
| 2004 | 4dr SUV 220-horsepower 3.2L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD w/low range |
14-15 mpg in todays market is not very good for an SUV with a V6. |
