VW Tayron Black Style in SA: price and specs
VW South Africa has introduced a Black Style package to the Tayron. See pricing below.
In 2025, VW South Africa introduced the option of specifying the Polo GTI with a Black Style package. Now, the German marque’s local arm has extended this option to the Tayron.
So, what does the package include? Well, specified with the Black Style kit, the Tayron gains black decorative exterior trim, including for the side mirror housings and rear diffuser, and black ‘York’ diamond-cut alloy wheels.
VW Tayron Black Style price in SA
From what we’ve gathered on VW’s local configurator, the Black Style package is exclusively available with R-Line trim. The Black Style package adds R27 500 to the flagship Tayron’s R899 900 asking price; bringing the total to R927 400.
As a reminder, locally, the Tayron is currently exclusively available with the Wolfsburg brand’s 1.4-litre, four-cylinder turbopetrol engine. The 1.4 TSI unit produces 110 kW and 250 N.m of torque – the latter available from a low 1 500 r/min. Power is sent to the front axle via a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission (DSG). VW claims an average fuel consumption of 7.6 L/100 km.

Driven: Why the VW Tayron is the perfect family SUV (with one catch)
Verdict
The Volkswagen Tayron is a sophisticated addition to their SUV range that should be an attractive option for families looking for the space that a seven-seater provides.
There are a few things, though, that could count against it.
With no luggage and with three or four adults, the 1.4-litre turbocharged engine is fit for purpose.
My concern, though, is that with a kerb weight of 1,632kg and a GVM of 2,350kg, there’s 718kg for passengers, fuel and cargo.
That's not insignificant weight, and with limited boot space with the rear seats up, it means in all likelihood you’ll need a Thuli-style roof carrier or a trailer, which naturally adds weight and wind resistance.
That will put a lot of strain on the engine and gearbox, especially at higher altitudes.
Perhaps the 2.0-litre mild hybrid scheduled to arrive later in 4-Motion guise will allay those concerns.
The Touareg is built on the same platform as the Porsche Cayenne in Bratislava, and it’s not financially feasible for the group, but I’m not entirely convinced that the Tayron is a worthy replacement for the Touareg with its legendary V10, V8 and V6 powerplants.
It comes with a three-year/120 000km warranty, five-year/90 000km EasyDrive Service Plan, including a 12-year anti-corrosion warranty.
Pricing
Tayron 1.4 TSI 110kW Base DSG: R 811 800.
Tayron 1.4 TSI 110kW Life DSG: R 853 800.
Tayron 1.4 TSI 110kW R-Line DSG: R 899 900.
