Volkswagen Touran

The Volkswagen Touran is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) manufactured by German automaker Volkswagen since 2003, and sold in Europe and other select markets. It filled a gap in Volkswagen's model lineup between the Volkswagen Golf, with which it shares its platform, and its larger counterpart, the Volkswagen Sharan, which ceased production in 2022. The Touran has been sold in Japan as the Golf Touran and the crossover-styled variant as the CrossTouran. The name "Touran" is a portmanteau of "Tour" and "Sharan". Despite the similarity of their names, the Touran is not related to the North American market Volkswagen Routan. The vehicle is delivered in five or seven seat versions.
