Car B

Volkswagen Touareg R

The Touareg R mixes serious hybrid performance (462 hp, 700 Nm, 0–100 km/h in 4.9 s) with real family utility thanks to five seats and an 810 L boot. It’s a strong fit for growing families and road trips, though its 83,500 price and weaker city focus limit urban or budget-first appeal.
