The current Volkswagen Touareg is 189″ long, 76.4″ wide, on a 113.8″ wheelbase, weighing 4,844 lb. Since 2004 it has grown 1% in length and gained -9% in weight. At 15.7 feet it fits a standard garage and fits a street parking space.
Every Volkswagen Touareg generation, measured
One row per generation. Watch the weight column — that is where most of the change happens, and it is the number that decides fuel use, tyre wear and how far the car takes to stop.
| Generation | Length | Width | Height | Wheelbase | Curb weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2004–2010 | 187″ | 76″ | 68.1″ | 111.8″ | 5,300 lb |
| 2011–2017 | 189″ | 76.4″ | 68.1″ | 113.8″ | 4,844 lb |
From 2004 to today the Touareg gained 2″ of length (1%) and -456 lb of weight (-9%). A modern compact often outweighs the mid-size car of a generation before.
Touareg year by year
Measured every model year, not just at generation changes — 14 years on record. Small moves inside a generation are facelifts; the jumps are new platforms.
| Model year | Length | Width | Wheelbase | Curb weight | Body styles |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 189″ | 76.4″ | 113.8″ | 1 | |
| 2016 | 189″ | 76.4″ | 113.8″ | 2 | |

| 2014 | 189″ | 76.4″ | 113.8″ | 2 | |
| 2013 | 189″ | 76.4″ | 113.8″ | 2 | |

Will a Touareg fit
The practical question behind every dimensions search. A single-car garage in the US is typically 20 feet deep; a street parking space is about 18. We allow a foot of clearance in both — nobody parks to the millimetre.
| Space | Typical size | This car | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|
| Single garage | 20 ft deep | 15.7 ft | Fits, with room to open the door |
| Street parking space | 18 ft | 15.7 ft | Fits comfortably |
| Standard parking bay width | 8.5 ft wide | 6.4 ft | Room to open doors both sides |
Against cars of the same length
Compared with 1,001 vehicles within ten inches of the same length — a fair proxy for «cars of this size», regardless of what the marketing calls them.
| Measure | This car | Typical car of this length | Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 76.4″ | 72.8″ | +3.6″ |
| Wheelbase | 113.8″ | 109.8″ | +4.0″ |
| Curb weight | 4,844 lb | 3,807 lb | 1,037 lb |
A longer wheelbase for the same overall length means shorter overhangs — usually more cabin space and a steadier ride. Lighter than typical for its size generally means better fuel economy and shorter stopping distances.

How we measure
Dimensions come from NHTSA vPIC and Transport Canada vehicle records — manufacturer-declared figures, held in metric and converted to inches and pounds for display.
One row per generation, not per model year: manufacturers rarely change the body between facelifts, and a table of forty near-identical rows helps nobody. Where a generation offered several body styles, the figures are the base measurements for that generation.
