The VW Tayron SUV impresses with a Petrol MHEV, Diesel, Petrol or Plugin Hybrid engine, 272 HP 123 km and an attractive starting price of 39600 £. Here are all the details at a glance.

The Tayron wears Volkswagen family lines but presents them in a grown-up, boxy SUV silhouette that favours presence over showiness. At 4,792 mm long and roughly 1.85–1.87 m wide, it fills the gap between compact and large SUVs with a broad, planted stance that looks more serious than sporty. Details like taut shoulder lines, a squarer rear and available larger wheels lend it authority on the road without shouting for attention.
Inside the Tayron the dashboard leans towards a clean, driver-focused layout with solid materials where it matters and a modern digital display suite. Seats are shaped for long-distance comfort and the cabin insulation plus curb weights from roughly 1,680 to 1,950 kg mean motorway cruising is quiet and composed. Controls are largely intuitive and the dual‑clutch automatic gearbox keeps shifts smooth in everyday driving, though some trim levels show hard plastics lower down.
The Tayron is practical first: five seats and a boot ranging from about 705 to 885 litres with rear seats in place and up to roughly 2,090 litres when folded give genuine load‑hauling ability. That space translates to easy family use — pushchairs, suitcases and a week’s shopping all fit without creative Tetris. Payload figures near the 500–560 kg band mean carrying adults and luggage rarely pushes the limits, and a 55‑litre fuel tank keeps range on long trips acceptable.
Driving balance leans towards comfort and composure rather than sharp cornering; the Tayron soaks up bumps with predictable body control and a secure feel on the highway. A wide powertrain palette runs from mild‑hybrid 150 hp petrols up to 265–272 hp performance variants and diesels around 150–193 hp, with 0–100 km/h times spanning roughly 6.1 to 9.7 seconds. All‑wheel drive is available for the more powerful engines, improving traction and confidence in poor weather or when towing. Heavier kerb weights are noticeable in push‑button sporty driving, but for most buyers the trade‑off is a composed ride and relaxed long‑distance manners.
Fuel consumption varies with the drivetrain: petrol MHEVs typically return around 6.2–8.5 L/100 km, diesels sit closer to 5.5–6.4 L/100 km, while plug‑in hybrids show a quoted 0.4 L/100 km combined in WLTP testing when the battery is charged. PHEV models carry a roughly 19.7 kWh battery and WLTP electric ranges in the 117–126 km band, which in daily urban use can cover most commutes on electric power alone. In mixed or long‑distance use the petrol engine will reappear, so real‑world fuel use for PHEVs depends heavily on charging habits and route profiles. For buyers who can't charge regularly, diesel alternatives remain the most efficient for sustained motorway cruising.
The Tayron offers a modern assistance package with adaptive cruise, lane‑keeping support and automated emergency braking that handle routine motorway duties with confidence. Infotainment is typical Volkswagen — a clear digital cockpit plus touchscreen system with smartphone mirroring and voice control, offering straightforward menus rather than flashy gimmicks. Optional parking aids and semi‑autonomous features reduce daily driving stress, though the best experience comes from pairing higher trims with the full assistance suite.
The Tayron suits buyers who want a spacious, soberly styled SUV with genuine practicality and a broad choice of powertrains — from economical diesels to long‑range plug‑ins and punchier petrols. Families looking for easy loading, quiet long‑distance cruising and usable electric range for daily commutes will find the PHEV compelling, while company drivers may prefer diesel or efficient MHEV options. It’s a practical, sensible alternative for those who want Volkswagen build quality and flexibility without stepping up to a premium badge.
