Volkswagen has revealed its latest addition to the SUV line-up — the all-new Tayron, a seven-seater set to hit our roads in the second half of 2025. Positioned between the Tiguan and Touareg, the Tayron is engineered and manufactured at Volkswagen’s headquarters in Wolfsburg, Germany.

The Tayron inherits several technologies initially developed for the flagship Touareg. Among the standout features are the IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights for enhanced night-time visibility and ergonomic seats with a pneumatic 10-chamber massage function.

The Tayron will be available in two trims: Life and R-Line, each offering extensive features and high levels of comfort.

Tayron Life – Equipped for every journey, this entry-level version includes a comprehensive range of standard features.

Other highlights include digital instruments, LED headlights with automatic main beam control (Light Assist) and 17-inch alloy wheels.

A suite of advanced driver-assistance systems comes as standard, including adaptive cruise control (ACC), lane-keeping assist, Side Assist for safer lane changes and Front Assist, which monitors for pedestrians and cyclists and applies emergency braking when needed. Additionally, Park Assist Plus and a rear-view camera help make parking effortless. The Tayron also features a new exit warning system, which alerts occupants if a vehicle approaches from behind when opening a door.

Customers can also opt for ergoActive Plus seats with massage and ventilation functions.
