RESULT:
Old BMW X5 the VOLKSWAGEN Touareg was equal already. The new, within all ranges improved Bavarian leaves for 2007 the only revised VOLKSWAGEN Touareg in the test clear behind itself. The body BMW is more largely, the safety equipment more extensively, the processing a trace better, the comfort altogether more convincingly, the drive more spritziger and the driving dynamics clearly more balanced.

The Touareg is not a loser nevertheless. Primarily the size growth of its competitors and their performance on the road makes for it to create. Off fastened ways it sits down however fast to the point. Fascinatingly the two grummelnden V8-Motoren von X5 and Touareg are however less - their consumption.

Total: 4 to 1 for BMW X5
