The 7 seater is just like the Tiguan Allspace (I own one) - its for kids only. We have been out to a local restaurant with 2 other couples (neighbours), so 6 of us - one adult in the 3rd row (me) sat side ways - I wouldn't want to sit there for more than a fews miles - its also claustrophobic as well. We have owned VW's for the last 30yrs (mainly Golfs & Passats) and the 2 reasons I bought the Tiguan is now that I've retired is its higher so you just slide in (no bending down) and I do woodwork, so can just about fit 3m lengths of wood in it without having to use roof bars. The last thing is, we do at least one touring holiday in Europe (from the UK) per year with the daughter & granddaughter, so 4 of us with enough space for luggage (deep boot) with no need for a roof box. I think I'll stick with the Allspace as I think this will be priced over 40K, which will restrict sales in the UK (additional tax band).
I like the colour! More purple cars, please, manufacturers! There's a bloke in my neighbourhood who drives an ancient 2012 i-MiEV that's painted purple. Struggling and sweating up the hill on my pedal bike...I can but look up in envy. A purple EV! Yes, please! This vehicle would be nice on the US mainland. The sheer driving range of a diesel car would be lovely on some monster-sized road trips. Back in my days on the US mainland (my version of "old man noises"), even though my Honda CRX could easily go 500 miles on less than 9 US gallons of fuel, I still wondered what driving a diesel Mercedes with their 700+ miles of range would be like. These VW variants on the CUV/SUV theme really allow a customer to split hairs in terms of buying just EXACTLY the right amount of cargo and passenger space. There is so much choice! However...the purple colour of THIS variant makes it a winner for me.
VW isnt a brand that really grabs my attention. They have a few I notice but not actually believe I may ever own one. This color is beautiful! Very exciting that it has a 7 seat option though for family’s of a big size like mine. Great review Sir Pete
Well done for not mentioning Skoda Kodiaq because that's exactly what it is. Did VW specifically ask you not to mention the K word? As a Mk1 Kodiaq owner, I'm more attracted to this VW than the new Mk2 Kodiaq. As PHEV version only being 5 seats, can't help thinking why spend more money on this when the PHEV Tiguan does the same thing albeit with marginally less boot room?
Love that this is NOT a pure EV.... I think this will do really well. VW do make some great cars.. Really looking forward to you giving it a run on the road.. 👍
Looks like a great bit of kit, but here in NL it will be ridiculously expensive. I’ve just hired a Mercedes GLB diesel in Scotland and I think diesels should make a comeback.Inventing a carbon capture for ICE vehicles must be more cost effective than digging up half of Africa to produce a battery. We did it with particulates, we can do it with carbon.

Not very well I suspect. At least not in North America. Its a sufficient entry, but nothing special to go up against the stiff competition from Toyota, Honda, and even Hyundai.
Please tell me you can disable the illuminated badges? Already look a twat with the full width light bars front and rear but they've properly maxed it with the badges too.
@@PetrolPed Well, I guess if nothing else, you'll be sure about what's tailgating you at night when all you'd normally see is a nondescript front grill occupying your entire rearview. 🙄
Another strong review of a car that will undoubtedly sell well. Agree this colour is nice ..and the styling is ok for what it is. I still don't understand why, if you wanted space, height and practicality for £40-50k, you would n't buy a VW T6 day van or similar? They drive and do everything well enough for a vehicle of the same large footprint, with the massive advantage that you can do more than just sit captive inside them. I can only guess that buyers of Tayrons are blinded by the image of being tough pioneers who actually drive off road? These ubiquitous 'soft roader' SUVs seem hopelessly compromised in terms of packaging, with 4x4 off-road credentials which are irrelevant in most of the UK anyway.
Apart from the colour, there is nothing much that attracts me to this car Ped. It’s going to be expensive for sure 40k plus, so will attract extra tax. I feel that there will be a limited appeal to UK customers after the Government’s forthcoming tax raid on the UK public! Seven seaters rear seats are for kids or midgets only. VW along with other car makers is in a precarious position at the moment until the EV bunfight is sorted out. Wouldn’t like to guess the cost of a replacement headlight ! Good review as ever Ped 👍😎
I miss my Alhambra. Had plenty of room for 5-7 passengers in comfort. These new 7 seaters aren’t even useful if you have child seats as the child kicks or knees the seat in front.
Bingo! If VW did that, I'd buy one. I've always wanted a Golf R, but at 6'4, its just too small. The made a Tiguan R in its last generation but it never came to North America., only the Golf R. Funny too, since the Tiguan was their best selling car here.
Hi Ped Interesting Yes, but will reserve final judgement when road review available. Looks OK, not sure about wheel arch “trims”, and not a fan of that colour. Five seater best bet with good size boot room. Towing stats sound good. You praised the lights, but with all the tec, going to be mega expensive with minor damage😥 Remember the days you you change a headlamp bulb in 2-3 minutes😉
Certainly a nicer looking car than the current Tiguan which my wife has now. Thanks for the great video, but maybe you could do one on the BYD Seal U. I would be interested in your thoughts on this maybe I might be tempted for my next car or second car🤔🤔🤔👍🏻😎
I own a Mk2 Tiguan R Line but in the new one and this one I would 100% go for Elegance trim (guessing this is Elggance) I really can't stand what they have done with R Line on Tiguan and Tayron with acres of black fake honeycomb plastic. The only annoying thig is that on Tiguan at least you can't have elegance and a dark headlining and I really don't like cream A pillars and headlining in cars.
Hello Peter! I like the colour…we need more adventure in colours and this is good. The inside is fine but that screen does look like an afterthought. The seven seat is really only any use for school runs or a day out with the family. The engines…I would go for the petrol hybrid with greatest output I think but suspect the diesel is the real winner..until Rachael unleashes her super taxes in a few weeks which will kill sales of them stone dead! I like the red VW badge and I’m sure the lights are wonderful…at severe costs if they get broken though! It is not a car that fits me specifically but it is a very good family mover…Tayron?….well it is a name but continues the VW group confusion programme! Someone commented that you didn’t look too well…I think you are fine BUT maybe getting rather tired as life is very hectic now…pace yourself and don’t overdo this wild new lifestyle…take time for Peter….you are the important one…with Tracey of course! 😃😃😃😃 Richard.
So does this mean the Tiguan Allspace is on the way out?? Still think the Sharan is the best solution for those needing 7 seats...... MPVs are a niche which will be missed by many, me included.
They had them before. Funny thing with VW, they have tendency to remover some of their best and unique features that people like and appreciate. As for the logo, as long as you have the ability to turn it off should owners not want the gimmick, I have no issues with it.
Interesting review. Like other retailers who offer numerous variants of basically the same product, along with other members of the same group, read Skoda, Seat, Audi or Lever various brands of washing powder, what is the point of having so many variants like the Tiguan, Tayron, Tuareg? Surely the ones in the middle detract from each others sales? To me it smacks of lack of imagination and 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' thought process? If you want a bigger car with 7 seats, why not just go for the bigger variant. I think the part about the 3rd row of seats demonstrates this perfectly, although you maybe made that a little bit over the top? as a 6' plus person, you would never sit in the 3rd row so why even try?? Unless of course you wanted to look silly? It seems to me, the number of variants that could be offered are endless. Will it end up with companies basically accepting orders for any size car based on customer requirements? Anywhoo, last thought, why do so so many RUclipsrs start their videos with the 'Lets get into it' link to the main video. It's so unoriginal. Come on be imaginative and think of your own link?
Now if you live in Canada and wear gloves one third of the year, to adjust the temperature you’re supposed to finger bang the television they’ve glued to the dash?? Nonsense. Three turn dials please.
The wheel arches do look like they were inspired by Bozo The Clown's eyebrows. Cool colour though - nice to see something which isn't another variant of fog or smog.
VW needs to make cars for normal people , lpg - cng still best option and cheaper than anything else why the car of people doesn’t have engines that run cheap for everyone?
Have VW dropped the Tiguan all space which was pretty much a Kodiaq in a party dress? In fact is the Tayron not the Kodiaq Mk2 in disguise? Looks lovely but give this a couple of years and the tech will be on the newest Seats and Skodasand at a cheaper price tag!
Those squqred wheel arches make the wheels look stupidly small even at 20 inch. Will be double the price of the Dacia Bigster you presented and does not even match the styling of that car in my opinion. Designers did not do their best!
This car is the Tiguan for North America. However, the light in the rear look gimmicky. VW should stick to basic shapes such as squares, rectangles or circles. The 20" wheels are OK, but nothing head turning. They don't look sporty at all. Even on the R-Line As for the interior. First, the steering wheel looks dated and cheap (they should have upgraded that entirely) Second, the ambient light cover material can be reflective at times and angles. Third, I wish they covered the center console completely so any valuables are kept out of sight. Finally, the 3rd row is for small children, not adults unless they're tiny people. On the positive side, I do love the light interior and the seats. Now all they need is to add in the true R engine from the Golf R to join the rest of the line. Then VW will offer something special that no other carmaker offers. Otherwise, they will have some stiff competition from the new updated RAV4, Hyundai Tuscon and the Mazda CX 50, which has a more upscale and premium interior.
If it were body colored it would be better. The don't look bad (especially when compared to other similar cars), however, I do prefer the rounded style from the last generation.
I dont understand why in all of these 7 seat car revies has to part when grown man tries to squeeze himself to 3rd row and comes to shocking conclusion does not fit there. Bring a 10 year old and try as would be relevant info.
In the uk ev, sales have dropped, and diesels have increased . It's funny how everyone who rushed to get Ev . i just dont get it because all the waffle we get spun about saving the environment, seriously dont all uk vehicles have to meet emissions through a mot . I will never buy an ev
XC60 sized? So it'll take 2 dogs? hmm. so maybe a softer no rather than the hard no because of the wheel arch looks which are god awful! and that side profile is an uglier version of an XC60! But then the likely cost? Astronomical I suspect. and "it's not too bad in there" when the middle seats are pushed right forward as they were! No, unless you hate the people you're putting in the back. That's a joke. it's not a good emergency seat at all!
@@PetrolPed I have found that the majority of lower powered public charge points do not have tethered leads, being a hybrid I guess this VW does not take CCS rapid charging. To me putting the cable under the clutter in the boot is poor design when other car makers have better solutions. It will be intersting to see what happens when a full BEV model is released..
Good review, don't like it typical VW bland styling, looks cheep inside and out, to expensive against better competion, no wonder VW about to go tits up?
For a minute I thought it was another variant of the Dacia Bigster, oh no - just another SUV 🥱 Is this really what the public want, I know it’s what we are being sold, but that’s a different thing! Interesting no prices were available, so they’re going to be expensive, and what is the point of the 7 seat option, I’m sure even Petrol Pooch and Petrol Pup wouldn’t want to sit in those seats 🤣 I try to see the positives in all reviews, but this car does nothing for me ☹️
The Tayron is fresh looks good am excited, can't wait to see it on the road.
This will sell well. It's a good size for the modern family. Love that purple...... Off to write a letter to Santa.
Not keen on the wheel arches but looks good overall.
The 7 seater is just like the Tiguan Allspace (I own one) - its for kids only.

Small kids. Only the 3rd row in a full-size SUV can comfortably fit an adult. You don't need to be a physicist to figure that out.

Doing a catch up 👍
The 5 seater looks the best, also the 100klm battery. Hybrid. Like the design and to 2 tone interior. Another great and informative review. Brilliant
I reckon the Cupra or Skoda equivalents will be cheaper and a lot better…..based on VWs recent efforts. Keep the good work up Ped!
they never are much better. just slightly cheaper.
@@kraenk12 dont agree... Enyaq was much better than ID.4 on the launch date
Wow, it almost looks blue. What an awesome color! I look forward to hearing more. Thank you!
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice to see a petrol with a bit of power
Still weak. Especially he AWD version.
Made a meal of the 3rd row of seats. Not sure it was necessary Pete.
Seems a good 5seater with awd
The back seats are for kids obviously. They will love them. 👍😁

Its also the Tiguan for North America. VW chose Tayron rather than the outgoing Tiguan L.
i think the Dacia Bigster is better when you consider value or possibly when you don't.

Glad to see a new SUV with a diesel option, though suspect a six cylinder version might be a better fit with the size. Look forward to your road test.
I’d consider a 5 seater for the huge boot space. Some car camping and family camping trips should be good.
Will be interesting to see how it sells, there's going to be more and more of these type of cars going forward.
Not very well I suspect. At least not in North America. Its a sufficient entry, but nothing special to go up against the stiff competition from Toyota, Honda, and even Hyundai.
That looks like a decent proposition and that is a stunning colour. 20" wheels for me also.
Bookending the week! Friday evening viewing sorted. Happy weekend folks 😊
Still enjoy the look of the bigster though - though the name does make me chuckle 😅
That 7 seat configuration is the same as the Ford S-Max. The third row are occasional seats but kids like them as they are different! Lol

Any idea of prices yet?
Maybe check the website.
Thanks. Yeah, I checked but no price list yet. Might not be released here as of yet.
the 100km PHEV range is BRILLIANT, but if I buy car of this size I am expecting seven seats. So sadly not for me.

Yes
Thanks!
A Tyrone. Perfect
It’s an interesting fit from VW it should do well especially the 5 seater
I was just thinking the other day - VW need another SUV in their lineup. There just isn't enough. Seems like they had the same idea.
No doubt in a couple of years they'll introduce a fastback version 🙈.
Nice looking car with a nice spacious interior,the only thing i don't like the look of are the wheel arches.They look to long at the side.

In the uk ev, sales have dropped, and diesels have increased . It's funny how everyone who rushed to get Ev . i just dont get it because all the waffle we get spun about saving the environment, seriously dont all uk vehicles have to meet emissions through a mot . I will never buy an ev
Diesels are very clean in terms of co2 emissions. It’s the particulate emissions they struggle with but GPF tech has improved so much in recent years.
XC60 sized? So it'll take 2 dogs? hmm. so maybe a softer no rather than the hard no because of the wheel arch looks which are god awful! and that side profile is an uglier version of an XC60!

The Tayron is bigger, but the XC60 is more upscale.
Putting the charge cable under the floor in the boot area ensures that it will never be used! Yet more head in the sand poor design.
You rarely need it. My charge point at home has a cable and so do a lot of public chargers. I’m all the time running EVs I’ve yet to use one 🤷♂️
@@PetrolPed I have found that the majority of lower powered public charge points do not have tethered leads, being a hybrid I guess this VW does not take CCS rapid charging. To me putting the cable under the clutter in the boot is poor design when other car makers have better solutions. It will be intersting to see what happens when a full BEV model is released..
You sound a bit under the weather Pete… look after yourself
🥰
There is hope NO EV! 🎉
That’s what VW ID is for 🤷♂️
Tayron? Really? Next there'll be a VW Crayon.
It was a Chinese market only model.
Oh good another bland blob🙄 at least try to style the car you are designing, but it is a VW the kings of boring blandness so 🤷♂️
Another big lump that's too big for our roads and boring!
Horrid. Make it go away.
Looks tidy Ped!
Good review, don't like it typical VW bland styling, looks cheep inside and out, to expensive against better competion, no wonder VW about to go tits up?
For a minute I thought it was another variant of the Dacia Bigster, oh no - just another SUV 🥱
Is this really what the public want, I know it’s what we are being sold, but that’s a different thing!
Interesting no prices were available, so they’re going to be expensive, and what is the point of the 7 seat option, I’m sure even Petrol Pooch and Petrol Pup wouldn’t want to sit in those seats 🤣
I try to see the positives in all reviews, but this car does nothing for me ☹️
