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

Volkswagen Touareg Real Gas Mileage: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
YearBody/PowertrainComment
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
