The new Volkswagen Cross Touran is not your conventional MPV. Far from it. Though it easily seats 7 in its spacious cabin, its acceleration will put a smile on your face, and surprised looks on everyone else. Being equipped with a 7-speed direct shift gearbox DSG also makes it surprisingly fuel efficient. Translating to more savings as well as a lower annual road tax.
the Cross Touran will have leading performance figures in its class via its 1.4 TSI twin-charged engine that generates 140PS. This outstanding engine is mated to Volkswagen’s innovative 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).
This enables the Cross Touran to churn out 220Nm from as low as 1,250rpm, reaching 100kph in 9.8 seconds, which is excellent for a compact MPV. The Cross Touran boasts a top speed of 194kph.
