Volkswagen Touareg: an off-road capable SUV with a 2,967 cm³ six-cylinder engine, a 2,860 mm wheelbase and a 2,945 kg gross weight
The Touareg is Volkswagen's large SUV, developed since the 2000s on a shared platform with models from Porsche and Audi. It is a passenger car for road and light off-road use, not a class N1 panel van, even though the register entry lists Volkswagen/v Van as the registration holder.

The six-cylinder engine displaces 2,967 cm³, typical of this range's diesel variants. With a 2,860 mm wheelbase and a width of 1,980 mm, the vehicle matches the dimensions of a large upper mid-size SUV. Kerb weight of 2,245 kg leaves 700 kg against the 2,945 kg gross weight for occupants and luggage, a notably smaller payload reserve than a commercial vehicle of the same weight class would have.
As a passenger car, the Touareg can be driven on a category B licence, since the gross weight stays under 3.5 t. Permanent four-wheel drive and a standard low-range gear on many trim levels are aimed at upmarket travel comfort with off-road capability, not commercial goods transport.
When buying a used Touareg of this generation, the condition of the air suspension, where fitted, matters, as repairing it is costly. The six-cylinder diesel engine calls for a check of the timing chain for stretch at high mileage, and the transfer case of the four-wheel-drive system should be tested for unusual noises in off-road mode.
