2025 Volkswagen Tayron R-Line Edition Full Review
Volkswagen is replacing the Tiguan Allspace with an entirely new model called the Tayron (pronounced tie-ron), and it will fulfil the same role as the outgoing seven-seat mid-sized SUV, slotting in between the five-seat Tiguan and the range-topping Touareg. Similar to the latest version of the Mk8.5 Golf, the Tayron gets illuminated VW logos front and rear, with LED light units at either end as well. In Europe there are three specification grades – Life, Elegance and R-Line – and these are likely to be offered in Australia as well.
Volkswagen’s desire to provide something for everyone in the Tayron is reflected in the range of powertrains available. You can have a basic turbocharged 2.0-litre TSI petrol engine, which comes equipped with VW’s 4Motion all-wheel drive. This four-cylinder motor is available in 150kW and 190kW states of tune, and, as is the case across the entire Tayron lineup, automatic gearboxes are standard. The 2.0-litre TDI diesel comes with either front- or all-wheel drive. There’s 110kW at your disposal in the front-wheel drive Tayron, while the 4Motion version makes up to 142kW.
The Tayron’s interior mirrors the overall aesthetic of the smaller Tiguan, with minor differences to the air vents and some of the material inserts on the dashboard. Its dashboard layout is a horizontal vista of structure with no physical buttons other than the legally required hazard warning at the centre. Ahead of the wheel is a 10-inch digital instrument cluster that provides the usual variety of screen options to suit individual preferences. Two infotainment touchscreen options are available, starting with a 12.9-inch unit, though our test car was equipped with the larger 15-inch display that really fills up the centre of the dashboard. Unlike the instrumentation that’s inset within the dashboard, the 15-inch touchscreen looks more stuck onto the fascia, sticking up above the leading edge of the dash.
