The third generation of the Touran was introduced at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show. The MPV was more stylish than before and it featured more comfort and safety amenities.

Volkswagen introduced the Touran MPV in 2003 on the same platform as the Golf V and introduced two facelift versions and the crossover-style CrossTouran in 2011.

Volkswagen introduced the 2010 Touran seven-seater MPV based on the same platform as the Golf VI and continued the saga of the successful compact German minivan.

With a growing demand for crossover vehicles, Volkswagen has decided that it can do more than just research new vehicles and adapt its regular ones for the market.

Volkswagen used the Golf's MK5 platform to build the Touran minivan in 2003 and improved the vehicle with a facelifted version in 2006.

Volkswagen decided to enter the competition on the minivan market with a vehicle built on top of a trusted platform carried over from its hatchback sibling, the Golf.
