Volkswagen Touareg 
The biggest Volkswagen is back for 2014. The Highline and Execline versions have been improved by the newly available R-line Package. The Touareg features a 3.6L V6 that produces nearly 300 horsepower, but for better fuel economy, you should opt for the 3.0L V6 TDI that helps reduce fuel consumption to less than 7 L/100 km on the highway. An automatic transmission with Sport mode is also available.
Pros
- Inspired ride
- Pairing the TDI with an automatic transmission = good idea
- Luxury interior
- Solid off the road
- Relatively restrained fuel consumption
Cons
- Lacking prestige
- Trunk is not very big
- Actually pretty pricey
- Reliability still leaves something to be desired
