The Volkswagen Touran is a compact multi-purpose vehicle (MPV) based on a vertically stretched 5th generation of the Volkswagen Golf and sold in Europe. It was launched in 2003 to fill a perceived gap in Volkswagen's model lineup below their larger MPV, the Sharan. The car is delivered in a 2 (area-dependent), 5 or 7 seat version.
