2025 Volkswagen Tayron review
Volkswagen’s new Tayron SUV replaces the Tiguan Allspace, blending seven-seat practicality with premium tech and a sleeker, sportier design. Can it make a splash in a crowded SUV market?
The Volkswagen Tayron marks a new chapter for the German brand’s SUV range, and the end of the familiar Tiguan Allspace nameplate.
Larger, more refined, and packed with the latest tech, the Tayron aims to bridge family practicality with European sophistication and promises sharper dynamics, more interior space, and a higher-quality cabin.
The Tayron is positioned to compete for the consideration of Australia's family car buyers among a host of Japanese and Chinese competitors, and it could be the ideal upgrade for growing families looking beyond the Tiguan. But does it deliver where it matters most for families — comfort, performance and value?

How much does a 2025 Volkswagen Tayron cost?
The 2025 Volkswagen Tayron enters the Australian market with a keen starting price of $53,329 drive-away in Victoria for the Tayron Life 110TSI.
This positions it competitively among a host of medium and large SUVs.
While the base model offers strong value, opting for higher-spec trims like the Tayron Elegance and R-Line with additional features will increase the price, making it important for buyers to balance their needs against their budget.

Volkswagen's Tayron firmly positions itself as a family SUV at a competitive price point.
Volkswagen Tayron exterior design
The Tayron sits between the Tiguan and Touareg in Volkswagen’s SUV range, presenting a modern and understated exterior. Its wide stance and full-width LED lighting give it a contemporary look that appeals to families seeking something stylish yet not overly flashy.
However, the conservative styling may not stand out against some rivals, especially those with bolder design choices.
With up to seven seats and a spacious boot, the Tayron is designed with families in mind.
What is the Volkswagen Tayron like inside?
Inside, the Volkswagen Tayron is designed with families in mind. The seven-seat configuration offers flexible seating, heated rear seats, clever storage solutions, and a spacious boot.
Access to the third row is easy, though it is best suited for children or occasional adult use. Some materials in lower trims may feel less premium, but overall comfort and practicality are strong points of the Tayron.
Is the Volkswagen Tayron good to drive?
Equipped with a responsive 150TSI petrol engine in the Tayron Life and Tayron Elegance variants, the Tayron delivers a comfortable ride and a quiet cabin. Configurable driving modes allow adaptation to various conditions, making it well-suited for both urban and highway driving.
While the engine is responsive and the ride is comfortable, the overall driving experience is more focused on practicality than excitement, and ride quality and build refinement could be improved.
There are plenty of safety features to love in the Tayron, though some are only included in the higher trims.
What safety features does the Volkswagen Tayron have?
Safety is a highlight, with features including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, a rear-view camera, and multiple airbags.
These comprehensive safety technologies make the Volkswagen Tayron a suitable choice for families, though some advanced features may only be available on higher trims. Check out the complete range of Tayron variants and safety features here.
The Tayron stands out from competitors thanks to its value, seating flexibility and modern tech.
How does the Volkswagen Tayron compare?
The Tayron competes with other seven-seat SUVs such as the Kia Sorento, Mazda CX-80, and Mitsubishi Outlander.
It stands out for its value, flexible seating, and modern tech, but some rivals offer more space, particularly in the third row, or a more premium feel. Buyers should consider their priorities when comparing options.
Should I buy a Volkswagen Tayron?
The Tayron ticks many boxes for Australian families needing seven seats, clever storage, and modern technology. It is a versatile, well-equipped SUV that offers practicality, flexibility, safety, and decent value.
While it is not perfect - ride quality and refinement could be better, and the third row is best for kids - it deserves a place on the shortlist for those seeking a practical family hauler.
