Carbon82 Moderator February 25, 2015 Author Share February 25, 2015 Thanks indeed i'm asking about the 7-seater. Saw an article last week about it on yahoo, but like never came across it before elsewhere... There is a thread on the 2 Series Gran Tourer (7 seater) already. Check under Conti folder. I'd consider a Touran for midsized mpv if not for the gearbox issue. I concur. Beside the gearbox, VW should also consider bringing back the twin charge 1.4 TSI engine with 170ps horsepower. ↡ Advertisement 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think ok liao esp as this will be a new model? Personally, I think better give it 6mths to a year after it is launched then if no problem, can consider. 8 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally, I think better give it 6mths to a year after it is launched then if no problem, can consider. They should bring in manual version... 'Solve' the gearbox problem. If so, I'll be the 1st in line to change to this one... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junfeng1984 1st Gear February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Wah, bery nice one, especially used 6 speed Manual GB instead of give 7 speed DSG if CEVS rebate can reach 20K, I will consider it (1.4 TSI) as my next ride Impossible to get $20k cevs after new cevs tiers implement in coming July.

Roh96 6th Gear February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Is it just me? I see it more like 3rd facelift rather than 3rd gen. Outlook looks almost no different, just playing with light clusters only. Disappointing lah. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carbon82 Moderator February 25, 2015 Author Share February 25, 2015 Comparison with outgoing Touran and New Touran. The dashboard and rear lights... wow. The dash of 2nd Gen Touran look like it is at least 2 generation away when comparing with the new one. Nice update. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator February 25, 2015 Author Share February 25, 2015 (edited) As the new CEVS kick in soon, small TC engine (1.4L and below) will be popular,With the revised CEVS rebate criteria, the 1.4 TSI variant might not even get any rebate, unless CO2 emissions drop by >10% (to <135g/Km). FYI, even the current 1.2 TSI variant (not sold in Singapore) will not qualify for the $5000 rebate, with CO2 emissions figure of 149g/Km.

Yuan 6th Gear February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 The VW Sharan model seems to be better looking in my opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing seems to be carried forward from gen 2 model (unlike the transition from gen 1 to 2). ;) 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carbon82 Moderator February 25, 2015 Author Share February 25, 2015 The VW Sharan model seems to be better looking in my opinion. Without doubt the Sharan look better, but it interior look dated, and the size is neither here nor there, imo. Don't get me wrong, I like it, just that it is time for a major refresh, just like the Touran. 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to news release from LTA, Volvo S60 2.0T will attract a surcharge of $5000 come July 2015. 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heartlander Turbocharged February 25, 2015 Share February 25, 2015 Yes, just you... :p To be fair, VW designer do a pretty nice job for this 3rd gen Touran. Nothing seems to be carried forward from gen 2 model (unlike the transition from gen 1 to 2). ;) Totally agree. Very obvious to ex-Touran owners like me. From inside to outside nothing looks familiar except for the general shape. Even for the shape, it is 160mm longer, wider, lower, yet lighter by 62kg, ticking at all the right places. Currently at 4.4m long, I already find it acceptable in terms of leg room for all, would be even more spacious since both 2nd and 3rd row legroom are increased by about 60mm each. With the increased length, it would be about same length as Stream and Wish. So should be among the best among the mid-size MPVs. Too bad DSG still there.
