World premiere of the new Tayron:
Charismatic all-rounder SUV with up to seven seats

• New SUV for the European market: the Tayron is Volkswagen’s second-largest SUV in Europe after the Touareg
• Sophisticated all-rounder – extremely spacious passenger and luggage compartments, five or seven seats and a large maximum trailer weight of up to 2.5 tonnes
• Innovative plug-in hybrid: the Tayron eHybrid offers superior power delivery and becomes an electric car for everyday driving with an electric range of over 100 km
• The new Tayron celebrates its motor show premiere at the “Mondial de l’Auto” in Paris from 14 to 20 October
• Pre-sales open in December with first vehicles arriving in Irish showrooms in March 2025

Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars: “The new Tayron is a bona fide Volkswagen: its quality is reflected in every detail; it is comfortable and practical for everyday life, and it is available with a wide range of drive systems. With this new Volkswagen SUV, we are further expanding our range in a growing segment and closing the gap between our best-seller, the Tiguan, and our luxury SUV, the Touareg. I am convinced that the Tayron will make its mark and be well received by our customers.” 

Martin Sander, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Sales, Marketing and After Sales: “The new Tayron combines everything that a Volkswagen stands for: versatility, comfort and new technology. With up to seven seats, a premium interior, generous storage space and innovative drive systems, the large SUV is the ideal companion for families and adventurers alike. At the same time, we are making a clear statement with the Tayron: practicality and efficiency complement one another perfectly – for a driving experience that is up to our high standards.”

Kai Grünitz, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management responsible for Development: “Following on from the Tiguan and Passat, the Tayron benefits from the advantages of the MQB evo, too. With numerous technology modules, it impresses with a new generation of plug-in hybrid drives with electric ranges of up to 100 kilometres, premium-level interior quality, intuitive infotainment system and the latest generation of driver assist systems including voice control with ChatGPT.”

Powerful exterior design and a premium feel inside. Measuring around 4.8 m in length, the Tayron is characterised by a clear, striking SUV design. At the front, LED headlights and the standard illuminated Volkswagen badge create an unmistakeable light signature as night falls. The same applies to the rear with its full-length LED crossbar and illuminated Volkswagen logo. Sharply drawn lines emphasise the premium feel of the Tayron and its elongated silhouette. This approach is also reflected in the interior: here, the design² is dominated by surfaces with a pleasant feel and, depending on equipment, elegant materials such as ArtVelours Eco² (microfibre) and authentic open-pore wood² as well as illuminated decorative trim.

Extensive standard equipment. The SUV’s entry-level package is known as the Life¹ equipment line, which is followed by two top-of-the-range packages: Elegance^1/2 and R-Line¹. As the entry-level version, the Life version of the Tayron already offers a wide range of standard equipment. This includes nine airbags, a three-zone automatic air conditioner, 10-colour background lighting, a multifunctional driving experience control (controls the driving profiles – including all-wheel drive profiles for 4MOTION models –, audio volume and activation of Atmospheres as pre-programmed lighting and audio moods), an infotainment system (screen measures 32 centimetres across the diagonal) with an activatable navigation function and App-Connect Wireless (for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto), digital instruments, LED headlights including automatic main beam control (Light Assist), illuminated Volkswagen logo at the front and rear, 3D tail light clusters, sun blinds in the rear doors, as well as 17-inch alloy wheels.

Large range of assist systems. The Tayron Life’s standard assist systems include adaptive cruise control (ACC), the oncoming vehicle braking when turning function, lane change system (Side Assist), lane keeping system (Lane Assist), an automatic emergency braking system including pedestrian and cyclist monitoring (Front Assist), Park Assist Plus, rear view camera system, dynamic road sign display and the new exit warning system. As an extension of the lane change system, the latter can – within the system limits – prevent one of the doors from being opened if another road user approaches from behind.

 Attractive equipment options. Optional highlights include systems such as the adaptive chassis control DCC Pro, IQ.LIGHT HD matrix headlights with interactive lighting functions and Travel Assist for assisted longitudinal and lateral guidance. Also available: the IDA voice assistant with ChatGPT integration (in conjunction with the optional Discover infotainment package), a tilting and sliding panoramic sunroof, a 700-watt sound system from Harman-Kardon, leather upholstery with electrically adjustable seats including a massage and ventilation function, plus an electrically activated child safety lock for the rear.

Plug-in hybrid or diesel. Volkswagen Ireland will offer the Tayron in a plug-in hybrid drive (eHybrid) with 5 seats or a turbocharged diesel engine (TDI) with 7 seats. All drive systems are coupled to an automatic dual clutch gearbox (DSG). The innovative plug-in hybrid model delivers a system power of 150 kW (204 PS)³. Thanks to the 19.7 kWh (net) battery, the Tayron eHybrid can achieve an electric range of over 100 km. Its battery can be charged with up to 11 kW at an AC wallbox or AC charging station and with up to 50 kW⁴ at DC quick-charging stations.

Alan Bateson, Director of Volkswagen Passenger Cars Ireland: “The Tayron is a welcome addition to Volkswagen’s burgeoning SUV line-up. Sharp styling, boundless levels of practicality and an extensive engine line-up make it one of the most versatile vehicles in its class. Bridging the gap between the all-conquering Touareg and the hugely popular Tiguan is an important step for our SUV portfolio. With Tayron, we have a vehicle that achieves this in style.”
