2024 VW Tiguan

Volkswagen Tayron SUV arriving soon: First SA details announced

Volkswagen South Africa has opened the order book for its Tayron SUV, which is set to go on sale later this year.

The carmaker describes it as a premium seven-seat SUV, which will be positioned between the Tiguan and flagship Touareg.

The Tayron is closely related to the Tiguan, however, essentially filling the shoes of the previous Tiguan AllSpace. At 4790mm from bumper to bumper, the newcomer is 230mm longer than its sibling, making it longer than the Chery Tiggo 8 but slightly smaller than the Kia Sorento.

Interestingly, the larger Touareg looks set to be retired internationally after 2026, with Autocar reporting that there is no successor planned for this model. With the Atlas not being sold in South Africa, that means the Tayron will assume the role of the brand’s local flagship.

Pricing for the Volkswagen Tayron will be announced closer to launch, but it will naturally command a premium over the Tiguan, which starts at R668,100.

VWSA has announced that three specification grades will be available locally, the Tayron (base), Tayron Life and Tayron R-Line.

All three are powered by the familiar 1.4-litre TSI turbopetrol engine, delivering 110kW and 250Nm to the front wheels through a seven-speed DSG gearbox.

The Tayron base version is only available as a five-seater, but it is well stocked, with standard features including a 12.9-inch infotainment system and a slew of driver assist features, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Front Assist, Blind Spot Monitor, Lane Keeping Assist and Park Assist. Visually, the base model boasts 18-inch Bologna alloy wheels and Eco LED headlights.

Volkswagen Tayron (2025) Price & Specs

The new Volkswagen Tayon has officially touched down in South Africa, offered in both 5- and 7-seater guise. Here’s what the Tiguan Allspace’s replacement will cost you…

- New Volkswagen Tayron pricing starts at R811 800
- 3 derivatives in local range, all employing 1.4TSI
- Base variant has 5 seats, others upgrade to 7 pews

The new Volkswagen Tayron has arrived in South Africa, with the local range comprising a trio of derivatives at launch, including both 5- and 7-seater options.

Revealed back in October 2024 as a replacement for the Tiguan Allspace, the new Wolfsburg-built Tayron effectively slots in above the 3rd-generation Tiguan but below the (reportedly soon-to-retire) Touareg.

So, what does the newcomer cost? Well, Volkswagen Group Africa has confirmed the 3-strong range kicks off with the 5-seater Tayron 1.4TSI DSG, priced from R811 800. This base derivative ships standard with items like 18-inch “Bologna” alloy wheels, “Eco” LED headlamps, Park Assist, blind-spot monitoring (with rear traffic alert), a 12.9-inch infotainment screen, adaptive cruise control (with front assist) and lane-keeping assist.

The mid-tier Tayron 1.4TSI Life DSG, meanwhile, is a 7-seater as standard and is priced from R853 800. This trim level adds features such as extra airbags (for a total of 9), 3-zone climate control, 10-colour ambient lighting, an uprated infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, illuminated “VW” badges (fore and aft), “3D” LED taillamps and automatic main-beam control for the LED headlamps.

Finally, the likewise 7-seater Tayron 1.4TSI R-Line DSG tops the portfolio, starting at R899 900. This flagship variant is set apart by its R-Line body kit, 19-inch “Coventry” rims, LED “Plus” headlamps (with an auto high-beam function), “Varenna” leather seats (with an “R-Line” logo plus massaging and heating functions up front) and 30-colour ambient lighting.

VW also offers a “Black Style” package for the R-Line, which adds various body elements (including roof rails) in high-gloss black, along with black 20-inch alloy wheels. Other options for the Tayron include HD matrix headlights (with “interactive” lighting functions), a tilt-and-slide panoramic sunroof, a Harman Kardon sound system and a leather package featuring electrically adjustable “Active Plus” seats.
