The Volkswagen Tayron, a larger sibling to the new-generation Tiguan mid-size SUV that’s available with a third row of seating, will start at $48,290 before on-road costs when it arrives here in September.
That price is for the 110TSI Life, which costs $4300 more than the entry-level 110TSI Life version of the Tiguan Allspace it will replace.
The front-wheel drive 110TSI Life is powered by a turbocharged 1.4-litre four-cylinder petrol engine producing 110kW of power and 250Nm of torque.

While it’s significantly more expensive than the equivalent Tiguan Allspace, the entry-level Tayron upgrades from an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a larger 12.9-inch unit, while its transmission gets another gear, and there are additional features like a surround-view camera fitted as standard.
Compared to the entry-level Tiguan 110TSI Life, the Tayron is $3300 more expensive.
Stepping up to the 150TSI variants – the $53,990 plus on-roads Life, and $59,490 plus on-roads Elegance – gets you all-wheel drive and a more powerful 150kW 2.0-litre turbo four.
Unusually, like the Tiguan, the 150TSI Life is a five-seater, while all other Tayrons feature seven seats.
Topping the range is the all-wheel drive 195TSI R-Line at $73,490 before on-road costs, or $3000 more than the Tiguan 195TSI R-Line. It also comes with 2.0-litre turbo four, but this time with outputs of 195kW and 400Nm.
All Tayrons come standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
While the base engine has the same outputs as in the outgoing Tiguan Allspace, the other engines boast more power.
The 150TSI produces 18kW more power than the old Tiguan Allspace 132TSI, while the 190TSI produces 28kW and 50Nm more than the old 162TSI.
The Tayron is based on the German automaker’s MQB Evo platform and measures 4792mm – 64mm longer than the Tiguan Allspace it replaces – with luggage space expanding by 115 litres to 345L (measured to the top of the rear backrests).
This expands to 850L in seven-seat versions with the rear seat folded, and an even larger 885L in the five-seat 150TSI Life.
Six exterior paint colours will be offered from launch: Pure White, Oyster Silver Metallic, Dolphin Grey Metallic, Night Shade Blue Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, and Ultra Violet Premium Metallic.
