Volkswagen offers a seven-seater version of the Tayron for optimal comfort

It is said that the quest for the ideal family vehicle is as desperate as a game of hide-and-seek with a cat - that is to say, sweaty, frustrating, and often marked by a lack of reward. Yet, among the SUVs launched in recent years, the new Volkswagen Tayron, with its seven-seat option, stands out as a serious contender. Who would have thought that a Volkswagen could show boldness and innovation after years of playing it safe?

Volkswagen Tayron: the new king of family SUVs

The Tayron seeks to overshadow the good old Tiguan Allspace, which, let's admit, had more the charm of a dinosaur on its way out than that of a trendsetter. This modern SUV aims to be both spacious and technologically advanced, as much as a five-star hotel on wheels. That said, the addition of a seven-seat version is a bit like offering an all-you-can-eat buffet at a diet party – enticing but not necessarily on theme.

Four-wheeled comfort, for everyone and for everything

Here is an SUV that doesn't skimp on resources. With a configuration that can accommodate up to seven people, the Tayron comes just in time for large families. Equipped with massage seats (one wonders sometimes if it’s excessive, but hey), this model does everything to ensure that the journey is more a relaxing family getaway than an endurance test. However, the idea of seeing your children fighting over who has the most space in the back remains an inevitable challenge. Nothing like it to strengthen family cohesion, right?

A heavy technological piece

The Tayron doesn’t just transport you, it also dazzles you with technological goodies that even a gadget fanatic couldn't ignore. A 15-inch touchscreen, backlit controls — who said cars hadn't become a glamorous version of video games? One could almost expect to play Pac-Man during the trip, if parents can find the time between screams of "It's my turn" and "He touched me!".

To top it all off, it sweeps the board with engine options including petrol, plug-in hybrid, or diesel, although fully electric isn’t quite on the horizon. What a pity! It’s like being in a Covid scenario where the prospect of a great long-term investment gradually fades away.

An uncertain future for SUVs

Despite all these assets, the future of SUVs, even the most promising like the Tayron, could resemble a spider web – beautiful from the outside, but fragile if you look closer. Indeed, the global automotive market is increasingly producing hybrids and electric vehicles, which could well make the Tayron a dinosaur in an increasingly modern landscape. We no longer envy those tastes of the past, that nostalgia for the big V8s that consumed as much as a buffalo in the middle of a drought.

So yes, the seven-seat Tayron is probably one of the fresh legacies of the Volkswagen lineage, but enthusiasm for such innovations remains quite moderate at a time when the heated preference for ecological performance is proving to be more intriguing.
