Volkswagen confirms specs and engine for new Tayron SUV in South Africa
Positioned between the Tiguan and Touareg, the Tayron will soon arrive in South Africa, with pre-orders for the Tiguan Allspace's replacement now open.
Unveiled in South Africa at the 2025 Volkswagen Indaba, the local arm of the German automaker announced the Tayron will launch in our market in the second half of the year. The company also confirmed which trim lines will be available with the Tiguan Allspace's replacement. Though, at the time, we could only place bets on which engine options will be on offer.
However, with the announcement that pre-orders for the Tayron are now open, the Wolfsburg brand has not only divulged more information surrounding the spec levels, but also confirmed what engine will power the local Tayron portfolio.
2025 Volkswagen Tayron SA lineup
The local Volkswagen Tayron lineup will comprise three derivatives: Tayron (base), which is exclusively available with a five-seater layout, Life, and R-Line – the latter two models featuring seven seats.
The entry-point to the range, base specification includes such items as 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and 18-inch Bologna alloy wheels. On top of these items, Life spec gains three-zone climate control, 10-colour ambient lighting, nine airbags, and illuminated VW emblems, front and rear. The R-Line features a model-specific front bumper, LED Plus headlamps, Varenna leather upholstery, heated and massaging front pews, 30-colour ambient lighting, and 19-inch Coventry alloy wheels.
2025 Volkswagen Tayron SA engine
A single engine option will be employed across the lineup: Volkswagen Group's 1.4 TSI unit, which also does duty in the Mk8.5 Golf and Tiguan lineups. The 1.4l, four-cylinder turbopetrol unit is coupled with a seven-speed dual-clutch (DSG) transmission and produces 110kW and 250N.m of torque – the latter available from a low 1 500r/min.
