The Volkswagen Tayron Replaces The Tiguan Allspace But, as a separate model, is more than just a lengthed tiguan. Volkswagen’s Second-Largest SUV Surprisingly Matches The Mazda CX-60, which Gets Another Chance to Prove itself in Improved Form.
The Tayron is an Entirely New Model in Volkswagen’s Lineup, Although It Takes A Familiar Spot As The Successor To The Tiguan Allspace. Visually, The Tiguan and Tayron Are Clearly Linked, Thought the Tayron is Longer and Slightly Sleeker Than The Very Rounded Tiguan. At 4.79 meters long, The Tayron is Slightly Larger Than What is undoubtedly the Volkswagen Group’s most popular family car, The Skoda Kodiaq. This Imediately Gives The Tayron a Serious Competitor Within Its Own Ranks, Although The Volkswagen is significantly more Expective Than The Skoda, Positioning the Tayron One Step Higher in Terms of Status.
Tayron and Kodiaq also Share available powertrains, and in Bothes, you must pay a significant premium in the Netherlands to get a version without a plug-in connection. The 150 HP Mild-Hybrid 1.5 is thousands of Euros More Exensive Here to its Higher Co2 Emissions than the minimum 204 HP Plug-in, Raising the Question of Why the Mild-Hybrid is sacrificed at All. The Answer is Simple: because the mild-hybrid is the only variant from Both Volkswagen and Skoda that you can get with a third row of seats. This is unfortunate, as the combination of plugs in and having many seats is very appealing.
AS A 272 HP Plug-in with Five Seats, The Tayron is an iDeal Rival for the Mazda CX-60, which was unveiled a few years ago as Mazda’s new top SUV. Mazda is Clever Enough Not to Pretend Anything, But It is Obvious That the (Essentially) Rear-Wheel-Drive CX-60, with its Distinguished Appearance and Beautiful Interior, Can and ShOUD Attract Customers From BMW and MERCEDES. The CX-60 sits in a seemingly attractive no-man’s country between ‘mainstream’ and premium, making the latter category slightly more accessible. This undoubtedly explains items success, but we have never bone very Enthusiastic about the CX-60. The Original Version was Disappointing Due to its Harsh Rear Axle and Unrefined Powertrain and Simply Didn’t Feel ‘Finished.’ Mazda Says It has Corrected This With The 2025 Model Year, with Significant Improvements in Several Areas. The Mazda Gets to Show That Today, Against the Volkswagen, which Fits Well with the Mazda in Terms of Price As A Plug-in Hybrid with Extensive Features.
ehybrid? Then no seven-seater!
Smoother
On paper, the first win goes to mazda, as the cx-60 has 55 hp, a liter of Engine displacement, and a driven axle more than the Volkswagen. The Electric Motor is Located Between the Engine and the Transmission, Distributing the Power of Both Power Sources over The Four Wheels. We know this setup from brands like bmw and mercedes, but it is unusual for more everyday car brands. They often opt for a setup like in the Volkswagen, where the electric motor and 1.5-liter four-cylinder alternately power the front Wheels. This powertrain is now used in Countless Volkswagen Group Models, AltheHeHe The 272 HP Version is Always an Option and Therefore QUITE RARE. In practice, However, The Volkswagen Technology Works More Smoothly Than Mazda’s. The improvement in the CX-60 is noticeable in the powertrain, but it is not a model of smoothness. The Mazda Engine Starts With the Drama of A Traditional Starter Motor, While the Volkswagen Engine Almost Imperceptible Kicks in When The Computer Deems It Necessary. Under Full Load, The Mazda is Noticevy Faster and the Large Four-Cylinder Seems to Be in Its Element. The Volkswagen Doesn’t Give that Feeling But Still Delivers Excellent Performance. MoreOover, The Volkswagen Can Drive Much Further Purely Electrically, which is not only due to its large battery. The Mazda’s Battery is not that much narrower, but the Japanese car drains it much faster. More than 100 kilometers Electrically is not a problem in the Tayron in the Summer, Considering This Powertrain is also Delivered in The Golf. In The CX-60, about 60 kilometers, the maximum is achievable. Still good, but simply less.
Tired
One of the Main Criticisms of the Original Mazda CX-60 was not even its powertrain but its’s chassis. In particular, The Rear Axle, so incredible was hard and unrefined that we wondered several times duration the long-term test of such a car Whether the car in Question was broken. Not so, but the cx-60 has improved. Following the CX-80, Essentialy an Extended CX-60 for Those Who Want More Space and Seven Seats, the CX-60 Gets An Adjusted Chassis. After removing a stabilizer bar (!) Among other things, the Sharp edges have Been Removed, but the CX-60 is not a model of refinement. IT Handles Bumps Somewhat Clumsily, which is a pity because there is also much good to report about the driving experience. The communicative and pleasant balanced steering, for example, is top-notch, as is the sea position, the controls, and the interior as a whole. Keep in Mind That We Drove the Most Exensive Takumi Plus with the Light Leather and the Most Beautiful Details, But Even Less Lavish CX-60 Certainly Lives Up to its Semi-Premium Position. The Wide Center Console Looks Serious, The Finish and Build Quality Are Top-Notch, and the Operating Concept is extremely well thought out. Those who are tired of the abundance of color, assistance systems, and touchscreens in many other cars will find complete rest in this mazda. The Infotainment Contains only the Essentials But is Wonderful Clear and Looks Beautiful. There are simply physical buttons for many functions, but they are designed so cleverly that it remains clear. We are less enthusiastic about the automatic gear liver, which is combines electronic with mechanical in a way that ofe causes irritation in practice.
Fifteen Positions
You won that problem with the volkswagen, which has the handy ‘rotary stick’ on the steering column that we now find in Almost all Cars of this brand. The Tayron Interior Looks Sleek and Delivers a Tough SUV Atmosphere with its Square Shapes and Straight Lines. The Quality is Neat But Not As Beautiful as in the Mazda. The Operation in The Tayron is Mainly via The Touchscreen and Other Digital Elements, But It Works Fine Here. The Screen is Large, Fast, and Has a Well-Tought-Out Layout, which you also determine to a Large Exent Yourself. The Buttons on the Steering Wheel are actual physical and matte, much better than the shiny touchpads that are in other models here. Between the Seats, Just Like in A Tiguan, is a Smart and Beautiful Rotary Knob, which services Either for the audio volume or for setting the driving modes. There are QUITE A FEW IN THIS MODEL, Because Beids the Prescribed Positions Comfort, Normal, And Sport, You Can Choose from No Ferwer than 15 Different Positions for the Shock Absorbers Tanks to the Adaptive Dampers – Standard on the Eybrid! ‘Comfort’ is not the softest position and ‘sport’ is not the hardest, so you can actual go in all directions. To be Honest, The Difference Between Position 13 and Position 14 is Hardly NoticeBey, But More Towards The Ends Of The Scale, The Character of the Car is definitely Different. In All Positions, The Tayron Feels Balanced. It also always remains QUITE Comfortable and does not stand out on the road in a negative or positive sense, but it does drive very pleasantly.
Complete option list
As Mentioned, You Can Forget About A Third Row Of Seats In This Company, But Thesis Hindy SUVS Are of Course Nice and Spacious. It is actual no surprise that this is equally more true for the volkswagen than for the mazda. By Chosing Longitudinally Mounted Engines and Rear-Wheel Drive, Mazda Gave up some Space from the Start for a more special overall product. In practice, this mean that the cx-60, a lot Tighter than the Volkswagen, Both in the Luggage Compartment and in the Back Seat is. It will certainly be sufficient for many families, but the tayron is clearly more spacious and also sacrifices more flexibility with its sliding rear seat. The Mazda Can Pull An Even Larger Trailer, With An Impressive 2,500 kg Against A Still Good 2,000 kg for the Tayron. With that Towing Weight, the Space, the Plug-in Hybrid Powertrain, and an Extremely Representative Appearance, You can Actual Handle Anything with Thesis Cars, But That of Course also Costs Something. The Volkswagen is equally More Expective in Basic Form, with a minimum of € 60.490, than the mazda, which is ‘already’ yours for € 55.990. It should be noted, howver, that the Volkswagen is also available as a less powerful phev and that the tested 272 hp version is always an r-line edition, which significant lye increeases the price and equipment. Plugging in with a Tayron is also Possible for € 53,490, but then with less power and less equipment. The Cars on these pages Prove that can be much more Exensive in Bothes. They are both equipped with almost the complete option list, and then we are talking about cars of around € 70,000 in Bothes.
