Volkswagen Touran MPV Officially Discontinued

[Model Discontinuation] The Volkswagen Touran MPV has been officially discontinued as of April 29, 2026, due to non-compliance with regulations.

Core Development: Volkswagen Bids Farewell to Compact MPVs

The final Touran rolled off the production line at the Wolfsburg plant, marking the end of the second-generation compact MPV after more than 11 years in service. Volkswagen’s domestic lineup no longer includes any minivan models.

Key Figures: Cumulative Sales and Production

From 2002 to 2025, 1,070,558 units were registered in Germany, with global production totaling approximately 2.3 million units. Annual registrations peaked in 2004 at 95,408 units, while recent annual production has declined to around 20,000 units.

Strategic Rationale: Dual Pressures from Regulations and Costs

The Touran cannot meet the requirements of the United Nations’ General Safety Regulation Phase IIC, which takes effect on July 6, 2026, and is ineligible for exemption. Originally launched by the special-purpose company Auto5000 GmbH under a cost-efficient model, it was once hailed as an innovative example of domestic manufacturing in Germany.
