2025 Volkswagen Tayron large SUV range detailed for Australia
The Volkswagen Tayron is arriving in Australia in September as a replacement for the Tiguan Allspace, and it'll be offered with a choice of three trim levels, three powertrains, and two seating layouts.
Volkswagen Australia has released some specification details for the new SUV, though it will release pricing closer to the new model's local launch.
It sits above the Tiguan but below the range-topping Touareg in the automaker's local SUV lineup.
The new Tayron will be offered in both five- and seven-seat versions, with the entry-level Life model grade the only one to feature five seats.

This expands to 850L in seven-seat versions with the rear seat folded and an even larger 885L in the five-seat 150TSI Life.
The Tayron has a wheelbase 110mm longer than the new third-generation Tiguan to enable its third-row seating.
The base Tayron 110TSI Life is front-wheel drive and has five seats, 18-inch 'Bologna' alloy wheels, keyless entry, power tailgate, 360-degree camera and a digital instrument cluster.

The Life is also available with the more powerful engine in the 150TSI, which has the same standard equipment but adds 4Motion all-wheel drive, DCC Pro (Dynamic Chassis Control Pro) and a higher 2500kg braked towing rating.
It also sees the boot area expanded to 885L with the second-row seats folded.
Volkswagen claims the Tayron 150TSI Life offers 'the cavernous boot space of a wagon, with the practicality and user comfort of an SUV body style'.
The seven-seat Tayron range kicks off with the 150TSI Elegance model grade, which also gets 19-inch 'Catania' alloy wheels, LED Plus headlights with an illuminated grille strip, LED tail lights and illuminated centre strip.
It also has chrome roof rails and privacy glass on the rear windows.
Inside, there's leather upholstery and power-adjustable, heated front seats with memory and massage function as standard, plus heated second row seats and heated steering wheel.

The R-Line interior also gets the 15.0-inch Discover Pro Max infotainment system, head-up display, progressive steering as well as a Harman Kardon premium sound system.
With 195kW of power and 400Nm of torque from its 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four, the Tayron R-Line has a claimed 0-100km/h time of 6.1 seconds.

Ram 1500 revives Hemi V8 as brand fixes "mistake", Australian return unconfirmed
The Ram 1500's new Hurricane twin-turbo inline six may produce more power and torque than the Hemi V8 it replaced, but it doesn't have the same sound. Fret not, though – that distinctive burble is coming back. After dropping it for model year 2025 (MY25), Ram will return the 5.7-litre naturally aspirated V8 to the 1500 lineup for MY26, with vehicles arriving in US dealerships in the northern summer (June to August). Brand CEO Tim Kuniskis, who returned to the top spot late last year, was candid about the Hemi's return. 'Everyone makes mistakes, but how you handle them defines you. Ram screwed up when we dropped the Hemi — we own it and we fixed it,' he said. 'We're not just bringing back a legendary V8 engine, we're igniting an assertive product plan and expanding the freedom of choice in powertrain for our customers.' Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. But there's no guarantee it'll return to the Australian-market 1500 lineup. 'The return of the Hemi V8 is a decision that has been made for the US market. As it stands today, there is no guarantee the Hemi V8 will return to Australian showrooms,' said a Ram Trucks Australia spokesperson. 'As with any development, we will continue to review and evaluate what options are made available to us from the vast Ram catalogue in the US. 'We know there are customers who love the sound of a V8, and the Hemi V8 is still available in our Ram 1500 Big Horn model while stock lasts. 'However, customers have also embraced the new Hurricane twin-turbo in-line six-cylinder engine in our latest Ram 1500 models. 'The Hurricane engine remains an integral part of Ram's future. With more power and torque – and better efficiency – than the previous 5.7-litre Hemi V8, we believe the new Hurricane engine series will over time become iconic in its own right.' Ram Trucks Australia has previously indicated it takes 12-18 months to complete a local engineering program for a new model variant that will be remanufactured locally in right-hand drive. That would make a Hemi V8-equipped 1500 a late 2026 or early 2027 proposition, should it be approved for our market. The 2025 facelift comprised more than just aesthetic tweaks, with other changes including upgraded infotainment, so this isn't as simple as just figuratively flicking a switch. Indeed, Mr Kuniskis had confirmed earlier this year the Hemi was never designed to be offered with the updated 1500's electrical architecture. In the US, the Hemi will be offered across every trim level bar the sporty RHO and luxurious Tungsten, which will be offered exclusively with the High Output version of the Hurricane six. For the Limited and Longhorn, which also come standard with the high-output six, the Hemi will be a no-cost option. Ram has stood behind the new Hurricane engine in the US, which is also used by Jeep and is being rolled out to the Dodge brand this year. 'Ram will continue to offer the more powerful and more efficient Hurricane Straight Six Turbo, but we heard loud and clear from consumers: there is no replacement for the iconic Hemi V8,' said Mr Kuniskis. The return of the Hemi also sees the introduction of a new badge featuring a Ram's head pushing forward, powered by a Hemi V8 engine block. Ram is calling the badge the 'Symbol of Protest'. The Hemi V8 continues to feature cylinder deactivation to help reduce fuel consumption, as well as the eTorque 48V mild-hybrid system which includes idle stop/start and smooths transitions under acceleration and braking. It also enables up to 176Nm of torque to be available on initial throttle tip-in. In total, the Hemi V8 produces 295kW of power and 556Nm of torque. The Hurricane has hardly been downgraded to a tropical storm. Even in Standard Output tune it pumps out 313kW and 635Nm, while the High Output tune well and truly blows the Hemi over with 403kW and 707Nm. This makes all Hurricane-powered Ram 1500s much quicker than the V8 vehicles they replaced, while also consuming less petrol. Currently, all facelifted 2025 Ram 1500s in Australia use these two tunes of the Hurricane; we've never gotten the base naturally aspirated Pentastar V6 offered in low-end versions of the 1500 in North America. While the 5.7-litre has returned, there's no word yet on the return of the supercharged 6.2-litre that powered the defunct TRX. With the move to an all six-cylinder lineup here for the MY25 1500, Ram Trucks Australia ceded V8 power to rival Chevrolet. The Toyota Tundra moved to a six-cylinder lineup globally with its current generation, while Ford doesn't bring V8-powered versions of the F-150 Down Under.

MG 4 prices set to rise in Australia
MG Australia will increase the price of its MG 4 EV hatch by as much as $3000 from July 1, 2025 – depending on model grade – with the entry-level model set to cost $7000 more than it did in October last year. The 2025 MG 4 Excite 51 will be priced at $37,990 drive-away nationally from the new financial year, an increase of $1000 over the current offer on model year 2024 (MY24) versions. There are no equipment or technical changes between the 2024 and 2025 vehicles, while MG hasn't specified whether the price rises will be applied to the 2024 model-year cars from July 1, 2025. The MG 4 Excite became Australia's cheapest EV in 2024 when it was offered at $30,990 drive-away and kept the title after a bump to $32,990 last November. 100s of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. In February 2025 the price rose to $34,888 drive-away before its current $36,990 drive-away price was introduced in April. From July 1, 2025, the MG 4 Excite 51's $37,990 drive-away price means its staggered increases have added up to $7000 – but it's still less than the $38,990 before on-roads price it was launched with back in 2023. The BYD Dolphin electric hatch is currently Australia's cheapest EV at $29,990 before on-road costs, with the GWM Ora is being offered from $32,990 drive-away for ABN holders. Further up the MG 4 range, the MG 4 Excite 64 rises to $42,990 drive-away – an increase of $2000 over the current drive-away price – while the Essence 64 cops a $3000 jump to $45,990 drive-away. The long-range Essence 77 increases $1000 to $50,990 drive-away, while the flagship XPower remains unchanged at $55,990. MG previewed a new, more softly styled electric hatchback under the MG 4 nameplate earlier this year, though this doesn't replace the existing MG 4. It hasn't been confirmed for Australia.
