The new Volkswagen Tayron launched in South Africa late in August 2025, arriving as the successor to the Tiguan Allspace. So, exactly how many units were sold in September 2025, which was the new-to-SA nameplate’s first full month on the market?
Well, we can confirm VW Group Africa registered 39 units of the Tayron in September, in addition to the 15 sold in August. The dealer channel accounted for 35 of September’s units, with the remaining 4 reported as so-called “single” registrations (vehicles the brand kept and licensed for its own use).
For the record, the Wolfsburg-based automaker’s local division also registered 236 units of the closely related Tiguan last month, down on the 288 units sold in August. While the 6-strong Tiguan range runs from R664 500 to R856 200, the Tayron line-up comprises 3 derivatives priced from R811 800 to R899 900.
As a reminder, the base variant in the Tayron portfolio features 5 seats, with the remaining 2 derivatives serving as 7-seaters. All derivatives are powered by the German firm’s familiar turbocharged 1.4-litre, 4-cylinder petrol engine, which delivers 110 kW and 250 Nm to the front axle via a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission as standard.
Revealed back in October 2024 as a replacement for the Tiguan Allspace, the new Wolfsburg-built Tayron effectively slots in above the 3rd-generation Tiguan but below the (reportedly soon-to-retire) Touareg…
