Volkswagen’s commitment to comfort is evident throughout, with spacious seating for up to seven passengers and generous luggage space of up to 885 liters – ideal for long family holidays or weekend adventures.
The new Tayron also comes in a stunning range of colors: Pure White, Cipressino-Green Metallic, Dolphin Grey Metallic, Oyster Silver Metallic, Nightshade Blue Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, Urano Grey, Oryx White Mother-of-Pearl Effect or Ultraviolet Metallic.
Versatility for every need
The Tayron stands out in the SUV category for its remarkable flexibility. Offering configurations with five or seven seats, it easily accommodates larger families or those who value ample storage space. It’s designed for practicality and efficiency, with a range of drive systems that make it suitable for various needs. Whether you’re commuting through the city or towing a heavy load, the Tayron delivers.
With a towing capacity of up to 2.5 tonnes, the Tayron is also an exceptional choice for those needing a reliable towing vehicle for trailers of all kinds. Whether hauling a boat or a horse trailer, its advanced Trailer Assist system makes maneuvering large loads easy, even on challenging terrain.
Cutting-edge drive systems
The Tayron introduces a diverse selection of powertrains, including mild hybrid (eTSI), plug-in hybrid (eHybrid), petrol (TSI), and diesel (TDI) options. At launch, the entry-level eTSI model offers 110 kW (150 PS), while the two eHybrid plug-in hybrid versions deliver system powers of 150 kW (204 PS) and 200 kW (272 PS). These plug-in hybrid models offer electric ranges of over 100 km, with long-distance travel capabilities of up to 850 km between refueling.
For those needing more power, the Tayron also offers a turbocharged 142 kW (193 PS) TDI, perfect for those seeking efficiency without compromising performance. Coupled with the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system, this engine can tackle road conditions while providing a smooth and responsive driving experience.
Impressive technology and safety features
Volkswagen has equipped the Tayron with state-of-the-art technology to ensure a seamless and safe driving experience. The standard Life trim already includes a comprehensive suite of features, such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, a rear-view camera, and front assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection.
