Volkswagen Tayron 1.5 TSI eHybrid 272 R-Line 5dr DSG6 Review

The model
Read full Volkswagen Tayron reviewThe new VW Tayron offers seven-seat versatility, a big boot and, when fitted with adaptive suspension, fine driving manners. A Peugeot 5008 is slightly more spacious in the third row of seats, but the Tayron trades that for a more user-friendly driving position and a wider choice of engines. For many private buyers, the 1.5 TSI 150 Elegance is the one to go for, while the larger engines are worth considering for those who tow or regularly use up all seven seats. Company car drivers will be better off with the eHybrid.
