What Our Members Are Saying about the Real Gas Mileage of the Volkswagen Touareg

Volkswagen Touareg Real Gas Mileage: Pros
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
2011	4dr SUV turbocharged 225hp 3.0L V6 Diesel 8-speed shiftable automatic AWD	Like any diesel, it is always above EPA rating. No complaints at all. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
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 see full Volkswagen Touareg review
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. see full Volkswagen Touareg review

Volkswagen Touareg Real Gas Mileage: Cons
Year	Body/Powertrain	Comment
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! see full Volkswagen Touareg review
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. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
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. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
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. see full Volkswagen Touareg review
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. see full Volkswagen Touareg review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	The Mazda5 doesn't get great milage. But it's better than other minivans and most CUVs. Of the alternatives I shopped, the Mazda was the most frugal on gas. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2010	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Impressive considering all this vehicle can do (carry six, or a bunch of stuff). Driven with some restraint (60-65), I can average 30+ mpg on my weekly commute. With a microvan that can seat six. see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	Better than our previous mini-van, mostly because of size. We drive it harder, so some of that advantage is lost :) see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2009	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	reasonable gas mileage for a car that can hold 6. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	Avg under 10L/100km one of buying criteria. good on hwy and not as bad as full sized van in city. Good for long summer road trips. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2008	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 5-speed manual FWD	With a flexible 4 cylinder engine, and an available manual transmission, I average almost 30mpg with seating for 6 see full Mazda Mazda5 review

2014	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.5L I4 5-speed shiftable automatic FWD	If only. If only Skyactiv came out during the 5's redesign. While gas usage is better than the competition, it's far worse than it could be. Just popping in Mazda's latest engine and tranmission combo would surely give several more mpg. Just a 10% improvement would make me happier. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2007	4dr Minivan 153-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	It uses twice as much fuel as a Prius. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	vehicle is heavy for its size so the fuel economy is not that great. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
2006	4dr Minivan 157-horsepower 2.3L I4 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD	My 4 speed automatic yields about 10.5 L/100 km on 50/50 highway and city driving with a conscious effort to stick to the speed limit and driving as if I had an egg under my right foot. Eh, I thought it would AT LEAST be under 10. see full Mazda Mazda5 review
