🚗 2026 VW Tayron Review | Is Volkswagen’s New 7-Seater SUV Any Good?
In this in-depth 2026 Volkswagen Tayron review, we take a close look at VW’s new large family SUV and find out whether it deserves a place on your driveway.
The VW Tayron replaces the Tiguan Allspace and sits as one of Volkswagen’s largest SUVs in the UK. Available with seven seats and a wide range of powertrains, including petrol, eTSI mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid and diesel, the Tayron is designed to appeal to families looking for practicality, comfort and flexibility.
In this review, we test the VW Tayron eTSI R-Line with the 1.5-litre turbocharged mild-hybrid petrol engine, producing 150hp and 250Nm of torque.
We look at the exterior design, boot space, third-row practicality, interior quality, technology, ride comfort, performance, fuel economy and everyday usability.
We also discuss how the Tayron compares with rivals such as the Škoda Kodiaq, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorento and Mitsubishi Outlander.
