Volkswagen has begun taking advanced orders for the all-new 2016 Touran with the R-Line package. You might think that a simple body kit doesn’t count for much, but dealers need special training to sell this stuff, as an R-Line MPV is like a lifestyle choice.
We’ve been saying for quite some time that the Touran is the most impressive MPV launched in a long tine. Unfortunately, part of its charm comes from the controversial TDI engines. Theoretically, the 2016 Touran will stay clear of any recalls, since Euro 6 engines don’t have defeat devices. That means you could enjoy a family car that looks this good and yet drinks very little fuel.
Right, let’s discuss the details. We already know what the package looks like because that’s what they showed at the Frankfurt Motor Show to begin with. The R-Line kit starts out strong with a new upper grille and radically revised front bumper. Everything looks like it came from the Golf R.
On the side, there’s a subtle badge that’s easy to miss and black side skirts. The rear features gloss black accents and a diffuser. The model also features R-Line exhaust tips and silver anodized roof rails.
If you want to further improve the design of your MPV, a choice of 17- or 18-inch Salvador or Marseille wheels is available. However, you need to understand that they are not included in the R-Line kit and cost a pretty penny.
Volkswagen allows you to order just the exterior package for €760. However, if you’re willing to give them €2,155, the will throw in the interior goodies too. Considering you’re already paying for a brand new car, you might as well make it special.
Race seat upholstery is something to look for, meaning that you’ll get Alcantara trim similar to the Passat’s. The Touran R-Line also gains a black headliner, a leather-wrapped flat-bottomed steering wheel and aluminum pedals.
