Is This The Best-Driving Family SUV? (Volkswagen Tayron 2026 Review)

The Volkswagen Tayron is a new entry to the brand’s SUV lineup, which essentially replaces the Tiguan Allspace that Australians will be familiar with. Competing with the Mazda CX-80, Hyundai Santa Fe and more, this seven-seater offers solid interior practicality within a smaller footprint than many of its rivals. Pricing kicks off at $48,290 before on-road costs for the front-wheel-drive 110TSI Life grade, with the lineup topping out with the all-paw 195TSI R-Line at $73,490. Featuring largely the same interior, exterior styling and features as the new-generation Tiguan, the Tayron should be another win for the brand, but how does its performance reflect in reality? Founder Tom Baker investigates.
