Here are the official pics of the new Volkswagen Touran, presented at the Leipzig motor show. The new generation Touran adopts the latest Volkswagen style updates, and looks like a smaller Sharan with conventional rear doors.

The diesel engine range includes the 1.6 TDI with 90 or 105 hp, with the latter available in BlueMotion. It has a fuel consumption of just 4.6 litres per 100 km and emits 121 g/km of CO2. The common rail 2.0-litre TDI is available in both 140 and 170 hp. The new Touran is designed as a five-seater model with a third row of two seats available on the options list which also includes Park Assist technology.
