2024 VW Tiguan

Driven: Why the VW Tiguan 2.0 TDI Life 4Motion is the diesel SUV South Africa needs

Summary

Clearly, Volkswagen Group Africa knows their customers, which is why we have the Tiguan 2.0 TDI Life 4Motion in a sea of hybrids and plug-in hybrids.

The Tiguan is a pleasure to live with, and while it has a rather lofty price of R774 400, I’d say it must be on your list if you’re buying in this segment.

The overall refinement, decent driving experience and low running costs would be worth it.

 
How well did the new VW Tayron sell in its 1st full month?

The new Volkswagen Tayron launched in SA late in August 2025. So, with September 2025 behind us, how well did the Tiguan Allspace’s successor sell in its first full month?

- September 2025 was Tayron’s first full month on the market
- VW Group Africa reported 39 sales of Tayron in September
- Local range comprises 3 derivatives, priced from R811 800

The new Volkswagen Tayron launched in South Africa late in August 2025, arriving as the successor to the Tiguan Allspace. So, exactly how many units were sold in September 2025, which was the new-to-SA nameplate’s first full month on the market?

Well, we can confirm VW Group Africa registered 39 units of the Tayron in September, in addition to the 15 sold in August. The dealer channel accounted for 35 of September’s units, with the remaining 4 reported as so-called “single” registrations (vehicles the brand kept and licensed for its own use).

 

Intresting I saw the new Tiguan was one of the most unrelaible cars. (Issue does appear to be with the infortainment system). Not sure if the SA models and Tayron has the same issue but Tayron with a better engine does seem very compelling.
 
What's the point of having a car if the infotainment doesn't work these days. This is why the Chinese are giving them a beating.
