2007 Volkswagen Touareg Exterior Review
Volkswagen Touareg Exterior Review
Exterior - 7.2 (Good)
Overall, reviewers are pleased with the exterior styling of the 2007 Volkswagen Touareg. The Detroit News says it has "authoritative exterior design," and Motor Week finds the exterior "rugged and progressive." Reviewers agree that the Touareg has recognizably VW styling, and the exterior only hints at the SUV's off-road prowess in its large wheel wells and fender flares.
Reviewers are particularly pleased with the rear hatch on the Touareg. The opening is low and wide, making loading and unloading cargo easy. The glass window on the hatch can be opened independently of the door, and Auto Mall USA has discovered a feature that can help shorter people reach the glass when it's open: They can "simply raise the rear door. When they reconnect, the window clicks into the door. Rejoined with the glass, the hatch can then be closed as one unit. Tall people have it easier, of course: They simply reach up and close the glass."
