VW Tayron

The VW Touran remains the no-nonsense family workhorse — clever 7-seat packaging, sliding rear seats and sensible engines make it the practical choice when boot space and child seats are top priorities. The VW Tayron, by contrast, dresses up as a chunky SUV with higher stance and sharper styling, offering a more car‑like ride and road presence if you value comfort and looks over outright interior flexibility.
