Motor Minute: VW Tayron Review
Updated | By Deon Govender
The new Volkswagen Tayron SUV sits between the Tiguan and Touareg, starting from R811,800. Deon Govender tested it to find out if it lives up to the family road trip promise.
Volkswagen has slotted a new SUV into their lineup and Deon says the first thing you notice when you climb in is the space. But is space alone enough to make this the ultimate South African family SUV?
Key Highlights
- 7-seater mid-size family SUV
- Starting price: R811,800 – R899,900 (R-Line)
- 1.4L turbo petrol with 7-speed DSG
- Large touchscreen with full safety tech
- R-Line variant with premium interior upgrades
Deon has thoughts on the performance with a full car – and they might surprise VW fans.
