I am looking for a new/used SUV to replace my 2005 Touareg V8. I absolutely love my Touareg, its super luxurious even by today's standards. I don't want a vehicle that screams I have money like a Cayenne or Audi Q7 do, even though they are the logical replacements for my Touareg since VW no longer brings them to the US. I am also a big fan of old school luxury, like wood accents, softer suspension, and material quality. I don't care about tech in cars other than CarPlay or Android Auto. I am half convinced I should just look for a 2017 (last year they were made here) low mileage Touareg however, maybe I should expand my horizons to other options, even other vehicle types.

Here is why I love it:

• Orangey leather (contrasts really nicely)
• Navigation
• Heated front and rear seats
• Heated steering wheel
• 4 Zone Climate
• Quiet Interior
• Really good 11 speaker sound
• Tows 7700lbs
• Unstoppable 4x4 with center and rear lockers
• Does not scream money like the Audi Q7 or Cayenne does
• Wood accents

​

What I don't like:

• Getting old
• Air suspension is a love/ hate relationship
• poor MPG avg ~14ish MPG
• No bluetooth

​

What I need:

• Towing 5000lbs (at least)
• Quiet interior
• Good sound system
• AWD/ 4x4
• hopefully better than an avg 14mpg but that can be tough to find for something that can tow
• CarPlay/ Android Auto
• Heated seats
