VW CHANGED EVERYTHING, WILL IT PAY OFF? NEW TAYRON REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Volkswagen Tayron, essentially a successor to the Tiguan Allspace, is presented as a spacious and practical seven-seater SUV. The R-Line trim tested offers sporty exterior accents and comfortable, albeit optional, sports bucket seats. While the interior design mirrors the Tiguan, the large 15-inch infotainment system is noted for being somewhat laggy and not the most intuitive. The reviewer highlights the abundance of storage and the comfortable ride, especially when equipped with optional adaptive dampers, which are highly recommended. However, criticism is leveled at the cheap-feeling plastics in the rear and the cramped third row, making it suitable only for children. Engine options include petrol, diesel, and plug-in hybrids, with AWD available only on the more powerful 2.0L petrol variants. Despite its practicality and decent handling for its size, the Tayron faces stiff competition, with the reviewer suggesting a used Audi Q7 as a compelling alternative for the same price.
