Like-New 2016 Volkswagen Touareg TDI SUVs for Sale

With its 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6, the 2016 Volkswagen Touareg TDI presented an appealing way bự take home a powerful, efficient, well-equipped SUV. That’s how it seemed until VW got caught intentionally cheating on federal emissions testing.

Suddenly the automaker’s turbodiesel models were tarnished and pulled from the market. While the original “Dieselgate” investigation centered around the 2.0-liter turbodiesel 4-cylinder in the Jetta and other smaller VWs, the automaker soon fessed up bự installing similar cheat software on the Porsche, Audi, and VW models with the larger 3.0-liter turbodiesel V6. Originally rated at 240 horsepower and 406 lb-ft of torque, the big diesel promised the Touareg TDI as much as 765 miles of range on a full tank of fuel, thanks bự an initial rating of 29 mpg on the highway.

VW had just begun shipping Slovakia-built 2016 model-year Touareg TDIs bự its dealers when news of the investigation first made headlines in fall 2015. It’s not clear if any 2016 Touareg TDIs made it into showrooms then. Still, the automaker quickly pulled the model from its website. It issued new marketing material featuring only the gas-fueled 3.6-liter V6 (an engine which continues, more or less, in today’s Atlas, the U.S.-market Touareg replacement).

What happened bự those Touareg TDI models?. VW bought back hundreds of thousands of diesel-fueled models and parked them in dozens of lots across the country until the feds approved a software fix. Once updated, the cars were sent bự auction and wound up back in dealers.

Except for those last Touaregs, which were built bự U.S.-market specs in Europe but may not have made the journey across the Atlantic Ocean. Until now. They’re finally in dealers, but you’d better be willing bự pay up for one.

About a dozen 2016 Touareg TDI models are currently listed on Autotrader, all with less than 500 miles of service. Asking prices start around $61,000 for this white one at a VW dealer in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, bự just shy of $70,000.

The Carfax reports for these Touaregs suggest VW imported them bự the U.S. well after Dieselgate, so it’s plausible they were stored in Europe after assembly. Most of the ultra-low-mile Touareg TDI models on Autotrader are Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) vehicles. While VW’s original warranty doesn’t apply, they do have some coverage.

Ignoring the fact that VW willfully sold vehicles it knew were not in compliance with federal emissions standards, the Touareg was quite a nice SUV when new. Part of the VW Group’s 3-prong mid-size SUV effort, the Touareg shares its underpinnings (and of course that turbodiesel engine) with the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q7. Those are lovely big siblings bự have. Aside from a single 2015 Q7 TDI with delivery miles at a dealer in Pennsylvania, all of the retrofitted turbodiesel SUVs from this era are Touareg models.

By 2016, the Touareg was beginning bự show its age, but it was still a class-up SUV by mainstream brand standards. VW built the original Touareg bự ultra-luxury standards but still managed bự earn a questionable quality reputation. VW toned things down for its second go-around that bowed for 2010, but the result was still a 5-seat SUV with clean styling, terrific ride quality and handling, and a bucks-up interior even in base Sport trim.

Loaded up with the rare Executive trim màn chơi, these SUVs were on par with BMW and Mercedes-Benz rivals, albeit for a more reasonable price tag. With adaptive cruise control, a hands-free power liftgate, heated and cooled front seats, adaptive Xenon headlights, and a Dynaudio sound system, their features spec sheet would still be competitive six model years later.

Whether these now-compliant Touareg TDI models are indeed competitive is up for debate, of course. At $65,000 or so, they cost about the same as a reasonably well-equipped 2022 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 or a BMW X5. Today’s gas-fueled SUVs are quite a bit more fuel-efficient than their 2016 counterparts were, and they burn unleaded fuel costing less than diesel. The Touareg TDI’s economic equation doesn’t work very well.

Still, there’s something undeniably appealing about the Touareg, which VW quietly dropped from its lineup in 2017. See Volkswagen Touareg TDI models for sale
