Volkswagen's Touran gets an award at the latest BusinessCar Awards.
THE Volkswagen Touran has been quietly going about it’s business around the country and is only now getting the limelight that is deserves.
The Touran was well known amongst some circles as an extremely reliable, dependable compact MPV with a comprehensive range of safety and technical features. It was these features that have caused it to become a popular choice with many fleet managers.
It has been one of the most popular models leased to business fleets in it’s category and now has been recognised by the people in the know.
In the annual awards of car magazine BusinessCar the VW Touran took the award of ‘Best Mini-MPV’.
Tristan Young, Editor-in-Chief of BusinessCar commented, "Volkswagen’s Touran has spent several years proving itself to fleet managers and corporate users. The combination of Volkswagen’s premium reputation, great build quality and rock-solid running costs combine with the Touran’s seven-seat practicality to forge a winning package, especially with the new addition of the low CO2 BlueMotion version that will appeal strongly to business users."
With seven seats as standard, the final row of which can be folded flat into the boot floor when not in use, the Touran has pioneered the innovative Park Assist self-parking system and has enjoyed sustained popularity amongst UK buyers. The range was broadened further in 2008 with the introduction of the BlueMotion model. Fitted with a highly-efficient 1.9-litre TDI 105 PS engine it’s capable of returning 52.3 mpg on the combined cycle while producing just 144 g/km of CO2.
On receiving the award, Vincent Kinner, Head of Volkswagen Fleet Services commented, "We are extremely proud to receive this award for the Touran from BusinessCar, particularly as it was voted for solely by the publication’s readership, which is such an influential group within the fleet arena."

There are many practical reasons to leasing a car rather than buying one. Car leasing offers lower monthly payments, lower initial deposit, road tax and breakdown recovery. You also have the opportunity to drive a new car every two or three years and all vehicles include the standard manufacturer’s warranty.
Our leasing deals are powered by Nationwide Vehicle Contracts.
