Volkswagen Routan 2009-2014

The Volkswagen Routan, produced from 2009 to 2014, was a midsize minivan designed for the North American market. It was a rebranded version of the Chrysler Town & Country minivan, with Volkswagen badges and some minor cosmetic changes. The Routan featured a spacious and versatile interior with three rows of seating, accommodating up to seven passengers. The cabin offered a comfortable and family-friendly environment, with sliding rear doors for easy access, a range of entertainment, and convenience features such as a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and a power liftgate.

In terms of performance, the Routan was available with a V6 engine, providing adequate power for daily driving and highway cruising. It offered a smooth and comfortable ride, typical of minivans, and a range of family-friendly features like fold-flat rear seats for cargo flexibility. However, the Routan's appeal was limited due to its resemblance to the Chrysler counterpart and the highly competitive minivan market. Despite its practicality and family-oriented features, it did not stand out significantly from its competitors during its production years.
