How much cargo can handle this Van?

When it comes to cars and families, boot space is of paramount importance. The Volkswagen Touran offers plenty of space to stow away all the belongings required for a fun day out, a family holiday, or just the weekly shopping. In this piece, we shall examine the evolution of the VW Touran's boot space over generations and compare it with other Volkswagen models and rivals in its class.

VW Touran - How has the boot space changed over the generations?

Over the years, the VW Touran has undergone several updates and redesigns to maintain its appeal in the market. With the launch of the Touran I in 2003, the model offered a respectably-sized boot, boasting 695 litres of space. During its lifetime, the Touran I received two facelifts - one in 2006 and another in 2010. Through these revisions, the boot space remained consistent at 695 litres. However, with the introduction of the Touran II in 2015, Volkswagen decided to up the ante, increasing the boot space to an impressive 834 litres while slightly reducing the trunk size with rear seats folded to 1980 litres.

The difference in Boot space between first generation (I) from 2003 and last generation (II) from 2015 is 139 l.
The boot space of the current generation of Touran is 834 l.

The boot space compared to other VW models

Let's now take a moment to see where the Touran fits within the Volkswagen line-up. With 834 litres of boot space, the Touran leaves smaller models like the Polo (351 litres) and Golf (381 litres) in its dust. However, when comparing it to some of Volkswagen's larger models like the Tiguan Allspace (760 litres) and Touareg (810 litres), We can say that the Touran comfortably accommodates a family's luggage while not being the absolute behemoth in the VW range.
