volkswagen's official social media site announced that the new suv tayron will be released on october 9. the new car will replace the tiguan allspace in the global market. in the united states, it will be named tiguan and become the second-generation successor of the us specification model.

the tayron is derived from the "tayron" launched by faw-volkswagen in 2018. although the first generation of tayron has just undergone a minor facelift in 2023, the second generation tayron, as the global version, will be sold simultaneously in china as "tayron l tayron l".

although the manufacturer has only used a close-up photo of the rear as a preview, faw-volkswagen's "tayron l" has already been announced in the ministry of industry and information technology. from the photos, we can see the same through-type taillight bar and tail shape as the manufacturer's preview. in the chinese market, the power includes 300 tsi (280 tsi in other markets) and 330 tsi, and 4motion four-wheel drive options will also be available. the 1.5-liter engine can output 118kw (160 horsepower), and the 2.0-liter has an output of 137kw (186 horsepower) and 162kw (220 horsepower).

the global version of the tayron should follow the footsteps of volkswagen's new generation and adopt the mqb evo platform. therefore, it is expected that there will be mild oil-electric etsi, diesel tdi and plug-in ehybrid power in the future.

in terms of size, the tayron measures 4,695×1,854×1,684mm and has a wheelbase of 2,791mm, which is larger than the third-generation tiguan's 4,539×1,839×1,660mm and 2,676mm wheelbase. in particular, the length and wheelbase are both extended by more than 110mm, and the rear door is also larger, which provides more space for the third row of passengers or the rear cargo area. compared with the skoda kodiaq of the same group, it is also on par.

although no further information is available at the moment, it is generally expected that the tayron's cabin will be similar to the tiguan and passat, with a highly digital design, including fully digital instruments and a larger central touch screen.
