2008-2009 Volkswagen Touareg 2 Diesel
Mid-size SUV
Volkswagen's first SUV came standard with enough luxury features to be a standout in the midsize five-passenger luxury crowd. The 3.0-liter turbo diesel also helped it be noticed with a rating of 18/25 mpg city/highway. This Touareg came standard with all-wheel drive (including low-range gearing.) Current pricing levels can make for some good values on the pre-owned market.
