The New Volkswagen Tayron Scores Five Stars in Safety Tests

The Tayron may not make your heart race, but it does compel a nod of approval: "Nicely done." Nestled snugly between the Tiguan and Touareg, this new Volkswagen SUV has clinched the coveted five-star rating in the latest Euro NCAP safety tests.

Even in its most basic trim, the Tayron comes generously equipped with a suite of driver assistance systems. It brakes autonomously, reads road signs, and warns you if you begin to drift from your lane — almost like a sober voice of reason embedded within the vehicle.

The plug-in hybrid version can travel up to 124 kilometers in pure electric mode. That’s more than enough time for the average commuter to regret a few life choices before reaching the office. And if your household includes five kids, a dog, and another dog just for the first one, rest assured — the Tayron, with its third row of seats, can accommodate them all.

Design-wise, the Tayron is not a revolution but rather a thoughtful evolution. Its interior is practical, high in quality, and comfortingly Volkswagen — tailor-made for those who appreciate well-crafted things without any unnecessary fuss.
