The Volkswagen Tayron, a bigger sibling to the new-generation Tiguan mid-size SUV that’s available with a 3rd 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 greater than the entry-level 110TSI Life version of the Tiguan Allspace it’ll 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 dearer than the equivalent Tiguan Allspace, the entry-level Tayron upgrades from an 8.0-inch infotainment touchscreen to a bigger 12.9-inch unit, while its transmission gets one other gear, and there are additional features like a surround-view camera fitted as standard.
In comparison with the entry-level Tiguan 110TSI Life, the Tayron is $3300 dearer.
Stepping as much as 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 4.
Unusually, just 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 greater than the Tiguan 195TSI R-Line. It also comes with 2.0-litre turbo 4, but this time with outputs of 195kW and 400Nm.
All Tayrons come standard with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
While the bottom engine has the identical outputs as within the outgoing Tiguan Allspace, the opposite engines boast more power.
The 150TSI produces 18kW more power than the old Tiguan Allspace 132TSI, while the 195TSI produces 33kW and 50Nm greater than the old 162TSI.
The Tayron relies 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 highest of the rear backrests).
This expands to 850L in seven-seat versions with the rear seat folded, and a fair larger 885L within the five-seat 150TSI Life.
Six exterior paint colors will likely be offered from launch: Pure White, Oyster Silver Metallic, Dolphin Grey Metallic, Night Shade Blue Metallic, Grenadilla Black Metallic, and Ultra Violet Premium Metallic.
