Powertrains

The 2009 Volkswagen Routan for sale in Guelph has two available engines, neither of which are a force to be reckoned with.

The Environmental Protection Agency estimates fuel economy for the 3.8-liter V6 at 16 miles per gallon in the city and 23 mpg on the highway.

The pushrod 3.8-liter V-6 that’s standard on S and SE trims, developing 197 horsepower, struggles to move the 4,500-pound van with anything approaching authority. What’s more, the six-speed automatic seems to pause interminably between gears in an attempt to give smooth handoffs to the next ratio.

The uplevel 251-horsepower, 4.0-liter V-6 engine that’s standard on the SEL is of a completely different, modern overhead-cam design; it makes a much happier combination with the same six-speed automatic and transforms the Routan into a refined, responsive, and more efficient machine that’s in keeping with the Volkswagen driving ethos. The 4.0-liter gets the better EPA fuel economy ratings of the two, at 17 mpg city, 25 mpg highway.

Safety

The 2009 Volkswagen Routan receives nearly-perfect scores in government crash tests, scoring five out of five stars in frontal and side impacts. The Insurance Institute of Highway Safety also gives the Routan their best rating for frontal and side collisions.
