Volkswagen Australia confirms local pricing and key specification highlights for two highly anticipated plug-in hybrid SUVs: the all-new Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid and the all-new Volkswagen Tayron eHybrid. Arriving with advanced efficiency, impressive electric-only driving capability and the premium German engineering expected of Volkswagen, both models strengthen the brand’s push toward accessible electrification for Australian families.
Built on Volkswagen’s latest generation plug-in hybrid platform, the Tiguan eHybrid and Tayron eHybrid combine a 1.5 litre TSI petrol engine with a powerful electric motor, delivering system outputs of 150kW or 200kW (model dependent). A 19.7kWh battery enables an electric-only driving range of 113 – 117km (WLTP), more than enough for the average daily commute and ideal for low-cost, low-emission local driving.
Both models support AC charging up to 11kW and DC fast charging up to 40kW, allowing drivers to replenish energy quickly whether at home, at work or on the go. Combined fuel consumption is an exceptional 1.6 – 1.8L/100km, elevating efficiency without compromising space, comfort or Volkswagen’s renowned driving confidence.
Arjun Nidigallu, Head of Product Volkswagen Passenger Vehicles, says: “Introducing the Tiguan eHybrid and Tayron eHybrid is a milestone for Volkswagen in Australia. These SUVs bring meaningful electric range, fast and flexible charging and the everyday usability our customers expect. This is how we make electrification practical and desirable for Australian families and it’s a clear step toward our future line-up.”
Clear value positioning within the range
Positioned just above their equivalent petrol Elegance and R-Line grades, the new eHybrid models deliver significant technology and efficiency gains for only a modest uplift. Customers gain electric-only driving capability, higher system outputs (150kW or 200kW), substantially reduced fuel consumption and convenient AC/DC charging – ensuring Volkswagen remains highly competitive in the mid-size SUV segment while offering a compelling and accessible bridge into electrification.
Volkswagen Tiguan eHybrid pricing:
150TSI eHybrid Elegance: $64,590* 200TSI eHybrid R-Line: $74,550*
