The Tayron is Volkswagen’s latest plus-sized, seven-seat SUV

It’ll slot in just below the Touareg with seven different powertrains on offer, including hybrid, petrol and diesel options

Say hello to the new Volkswagen Tayron. Essentially replacing the old Tiguan Allspace, it'll be VW's second-largest SUV, positioned between the Touareg and the Tiguan. Looks good, doesn't it? But before we get into that, there’s the small matter of decluttering the confusing powertrain lineup.

Joining the from-launch mild-hybrid in due course will be a total of six different plug-in hybrid (PHEV), turbocharged petrol and turbodiesel powertrain options. VW's 4MOTION all-wheel drive can be specced too, with the trusty DSG automatic transmission fitted to most models.

As for specific outputs, we know the 148bhp mild-hybrid will be upped to between 204 and 268bhp by the PHEVs. Volkswagen also says these will hit 62 miles of all-electric driving and 528 all-in before needing a pit stop. A towing capacity of up to 2.5 tonnes is also quoted, which should come in handy at some point. Probably.

You’ll eventually be able to opt for up to three trim levels: ‘Life’, ‘Elegance’ and ‘R-Line’. The Life is the only one available at present, and we know it’ll get three-zone automatic climate control, 10-colour ambient lighting and a multi-function steering wheel at the very least.

New VW Tayron revealed as Tiguan Allspace replacement

The new Volkswagen Tayron has been revealed, offering up to 7 seats and thus effectively serving as a replacement for the Tiguan Allspace…

Meet the new Volkswagen Tayron, which the Wolfsburg-based automaker has slotted in between the latest Tiguan and the facelifted Touareg. As such, this fresh-faced SUV – which will offer up to 7 seats – effectively serves as a replacement for the Tiguan Allspace.

While pre-sales have already opened in Europe, the new Tayron – a badge previously reserved for a separate China-only SUV – has yet to be confirmed for South Africa. However, considering the Allspace was sold locally, we’d speculate this latest model is certainly on the cards (though we’re awaiting an official response from VW Group Africa).

On the Old Continent, the new Tayron will be available with a wide range of engines, all mated with dual-clutch transmissions as standard (driving either the front axle or all 4 wheels). The range will kick off with a 110 kW 1.5 eTSI mild-hybrid powertrain, while 2 turbocharged petrol engines (TSI) and a pair of turbodiesel motors (TDI) will also later be available.

In addition, European markets will receive 2 plug-in hybrid options. Wearing the eHybrid badge, these powertrains will generate 150 kW/350 Nm and 200 kW/400 Nm, respectively, each furthermore using a 19.7 kWh (net capacity) battery pack to offer an all-electric range of “over 100 km”.
