The 2012 Routan is instantly recognizable as a member of the Volkswagen family.
Having been extensively updated for the 2011 model year, changes to the 2012 Routan line-up include the addition of even more features and equipment. All 2012 Routan models are powered by a new 3.6-liter 24-valve V6 engine coupled with a smooth-shifting six-speed automatic transmission.
What sets the powertrain apart is its remarkable, class-leading power output of 283 horsepower, along with 260 lb-ft of torque, 90 percent of which is available from just 1600 rpm. It's an impressive powerhouse that focuses on light weight, high efficiency and low emissions.
But being a minivan, practicality is everything. So the Routan features large, wide-opening front doors and extra-large, optional power-sliding side doors, all designed to ensure easy access to the cabin. There's also a full-width, high-lifting tailgate, with available remote power-opening.
The essence of the Routan is its expansive, adaptable, versatile interior. Volkswagen keeps it simple, and the height of comfort, by offering a seven-seat layout, with captain's chairs for the two middle-row seats, plus a third-row, three-seat-across bench.
