New seven-seat SUV to replace Tiguan Allspace is called Tayron.
\nTwo models: R-Line tops out at 195kW and $97k.
\nAll-wheel drive, active suspension standard across the range.<\/p>\n

The new Volkswagen Tayron seven-seater is the next-generation\u00a0Tiguan Allspace<\/a> by any other name. And the lineup just announced for New Zealand doesn\u2019t just put distance between itself and the standard Tiguan<\/a> with a different badge; it\u2019s destined to sit quite a bit higher on the pricing ladder.<\/p>\n

\"VW
\n4Motion AWD, adaptive suspension standard across the range.<\/p>\n

Tayron will be launched here in two models, the Elegance at $78,990 and R-Line at $96,990. That\u2019s right, a Tiguan<\/a> (well, kind of a Tiguan) that will crack $100k with an option or two. And there are indeed some of those, read on.<\/p>\n

So Tayron opens at $19k more than the entry-level Tiguan Life, although there is still some crossover: the top Tiguan R-Line costs $84,490.<\/p>\n

As you might\/should expect, Tayron is significantly higher-specification than the Tiguan. It eschews the 1.4-litre engine and FWD employed for two of the three Tiguan models, and is being sold exclusively with a 2.0-litre turbo engine and AWD.<\/p>\n

\"VW
\nExtra 253mm length over Tiguan liberates the space for 3rd-row seating.<\/p>\n

Tayron Elegance gets a 150kW\/320Nm version of the powerplant (not currently offered in any Tiguan), while the top R-Line makes 195kW\/400Nm (same as the Tiguan R-Line AWD). Both meet EU6e emissions standards.<\/p>\n

Tayron is 202mm longer in the wheelbase and 253mm longer overall than Tiguan. If you\u2019re planning a bit of light off-roading with the family, there\u2019s good news: ground clearance is 198mm, which is at least 22mm more than any Tiguan.<\/p>\n

\"VW
\nVW goes wild: Ultraviolet Metallic is a new colour for Tayron. Approved.<\/p>\n

Driving profiles, 4Motion AWD \u201cActive Control\u201d for off-road and snow and Adaptive Chassis Control Pro suspension are standard on both, but the R-Line adds Progressive Steering, which can adjust the ratio to specific cornering circumstances.<\/p>\n

The R-Line also adds 20-inch alloy wheels, a more comprehensive camera-view system, IQ. Light matrix headlamps, dynamic indicators, illuminated rear \u201cVW\u201d logo, sports steering wheel and ergoActive part-leather front seats with heating, ventilation and massage functions, plus a larger 15-inch infotainment and head-up display.<\/p>\n

\"VW
\nLike Golf and Tiguan, VW has brought back buttons for its Tayron interior.<\/p>\n

To either model you can add a Touring Package, which includes the fancy seats, Harman Kardon audio and panoramic sliding glass roof. For the Elegance it adds $6000, but it\u2019s only $4000 for the R-Line because it already has the ergoActive chairs.<\/p>\n

Exclusive to the R-Line is a $2000 Black package for the exterior, including the wheels.<\/p>\n

\"VW
\nYou’ll know the top R-Line because the rear VW badge is illuminated.<\/p>\n

One of the most striking additions to the new model is a new purple colour called Ultraviolet Metallic \u2013 although the only hue in the range to attract a premium is actually<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"New seven-seat SUV to replace Tiguan Allspace is called Tayron.
