If you’re looking for the sweet spot in the new Volkswagen Tayron range, then the 150TSI Elegance may be it.

Priced from $59,490 (excluding on-road costs), it’s a seven-seat SUV with a healthy dose of goodies, including 19-inch alloy wheels, LED headlights with an illuminated grille strip, LED tail-lights, chrome roof rails, rear privacy glass, heated steering wheel, leather-appointed upholstery, power adjustable front seats with massage function and heated rear seats.

Volkswagen offers a comprehensive safety package for the Tayron, which achieves a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating (and is expected to score the same if tested by ANCAP). The safety systems across the Tayron range are well-calibrated and don’t offer the same level of annoyance other brands do.

Owners can opt for a VW Care Plan, which costs $1891 for three years and $3550 for five years.

The Tayron is covered by Volkswagen’s five-year/unlimited kilometre warranty.

Steve has been obsessed with all things automotive for as long as he can remember. Literally, his earliest memory is of a car. Having amassed an enviable Hot Wheels and Matchbox collection as a kid he moved into the world of real cars with an Alfa Romeo Alfasud. Despite that questionable history he carved a successful career for himself, firstly covering motorsport for Auto Action magazine before eventually moving into the automotive publishing world with CarsGuide in 2008. Since then he's worked for every major outlet, having work published in The Sydney Morning Herald, The Age, Drive.com.au, Street Machine, V8X and F1 Racing. These days he still loves cars as much as he did as a kid and has an Alfa Romeo Alfasud in the garage (but not the same one as before... that's a long story).
