I've always believed that choosing a car should be about driving pleasure. The Touareg drives like a big boat, with super spacious and comfortable seating, but the steering feels a bit sluggish, making it great for highway cruising. On the other hand, the XC60 drives more like a small sports car—powerful, responsive, and stable around corners, making it perfect for city driving. After driving the XC60, I noticed its suspension is tuned more sportily than the Touareg's, but it feels a bit stiff on bumpy roads. Price-wise, the XC60 is slightly more expensive but comes with richer configurations, while the Touareg is more fuel-efficient and cheaper to maintain. If you often take long trips with family, the Touareg is a solid choice. But if you prefer a bit of spirited driving, the XC60 is more thrilling. The best way is to test drive both—don’t just take my word for it.

As a father of two, space and safety are my top priorities when choosing a car. The Touareg's rear can easily accommodate all the kids' stuff and luggage with room to spare, and seating seven people isn't cramped—perfect for big families. The XC60 is much stronger in safety, with features like active braking and collision prevention that provide great peace of mind, making it worry-free for taking the kids out. However, the XC60's trunk is smaller and can't hold as many toys, plus it's tens of thousands more expensive. The Touareg has lower fuel consumption and is cheaper to maintain, making it more practical. I chose the Touareg mainly for its capacity and affordability, but for families with more kids, the XC60's safety perks are worth considering. I suggest you decide based on your driving habits.

In my experience, car safety is absolutely not something to be taken lightly. The XC60 has obvious advantages in safety, such as standard City Safety system and robust airbag design, resulting in a low accident rate. The Touareg has more ordinary configurations that can only be improved through optional upgrades, but it offers more spacious interiors and a steadier drive. In terms of maintenance, XC60 parts are more expensive but durable, while the Touareg is easier to repair. Overall, if you're stuck in traffic every day, the XC60 offers more peace of mind. For highway driving, the Touareg is sufficient. The key is to check the crash test reports of each brand and not just go for the cheapest option.
