Overview
- The final Touran, built April 29 in Wolfsburg, ended a more than 20-year run for VW’s compact family van.
- Volkswagen cited General Safety Regulation II Stage C, a new EU safety rule taking effect July 6, 2026, which cars must meet for new registrations.
- The 2015-era model would have needed major safety upgrades to comply, so VW chose to stop production rather than rework the aging platform.
- Only in-stock cars remain on VW’s website, and with the Touran gone the brand has no van in its lineup as SUVs like Tiguan and the larger Tayron fill that space.
- Over its life VW built about 2.3 million Tourans, including 1,070,558 registered in Germany, and early production ran under the Auto 5000 jobs program in Wolfsburg.
