VW TAYRON - LOTS OF SPACE AND 7 ENGINE CHOICES INCLUDING DIESEL!

EV Channels Review

The VW Tayron emerges as a compelling new entrant in the SUV market, positioned strategically between the Tiguan and Touareg. The reviewer highlights its significant practicality, offering both 5 and 7-seat configurations, with the 7-seater providing a usable, albeit compromised, third row. Boot space is generous, especially in the 5-seat variant (850L) and with seats folded (over 2000L). The design is praised, particularly the striking LED lighting elements front and rear, and the deep ultraviolet metallic paint. Interior comfort and material quality are noted positively, with ample legroom in the 5-seater and an improved infotainment system featuring ChatGPT integration. A key limitation identified is the inability to pair the plug-in hybrid powertrain with the 7-seat option. The extensive engine choice, including mild-hybrid, turbo petrol, turbo diesel, and plug-in hybrid options, is a significant advantage, though specific UK availability is unconfirmed. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for experiencing the performance-oriented petrol engines and the PHEV's EV range, anticipating its market arrival in 2025.
