FOLLOWING its highly anticipated debut at the Volkswagen Indaba earlier this year, Volkswagen is proud to announce the official opening of pre-orders for the all-new Volkswagen Tayron in South Africa.
The Volkswagen Tayron is a modern premium 7-seater SUV positioned between the Tiguan and flagship Touareg. The Tayron sets a new benchmark in its class in comfort, digital innovation, and safety.
All-terrain design and premium interior
With a length of 4.79m, the Tayron is characterised by a clean, striking SUV design. At the front, LED headlights and the standard illuminated Volkswagen badge create an unmistakeable light signature. The same applies to the rear with its full-length horizontal LED bar and illuminated Volkswagen logo. Sharply drawn lines in the elongated silhouette emphasise the high design quality of the Tayron. The interior design also matches this standard. The interior features high-quality finishes and materials such as ArtVelours Eco (microfibre) and illuminated trims in the dash panel and doors, depending on the equipment line.
Tayron, Life and R-Line
