Category: Compact MPV 
Price Range: £16,225 to £17,945
Easy to drive, loads of safety kit, solid build, excellent suspension and handling, great for towing.
No character, no single 'must-have' or distinguishing feature, van-like looks.
The Touran is immensely competent, but not particularly thrilling; not a car to inspire passion, devotion, or even family fondness.




There are plenty of cheaper compact MPVs around, but the Touran feels like a real quality product and, of course, it will hold its value well, making it a good long-term investment.
Standard equipment levels are very good; the basic S model is well-specified and doesn't feel like a cheapo choice and it should prove to give excellent service.
