New seven-seat Volkswagen Tayron replaces Tiguan Allspace

The new seven-seat Volkswagen Tayron is due on sale in the UK in 2025 as a successor to the retired Tiguan Allspace.

The second-generation Tayron has now been revealed in the latest batch of Chinese regulatory filings ahead of its planned introduction to Europe markets next year.

In China, it will be marketed as the Tiguan L Pro and come with the choice of both standard and sporty R-Line styling packages.

Described by Volkswagen brand CEO Thomas Schäfer as a global model, the Tayron is planned to be produced at manufacturing plants in Germany (Wolfsburg), China (Anting and Changchun) and Mexico (Peubla).

As with the new third-generation Volkswagen Tiguan and ninth-generation Passat, it's based on Volkswagen’s new MQB-Evo platform, with added stiffening measures and suspension upgrades and 48V mild-hybrid compatibility.

Details contained in the Chinese government filing put the new Tayron’s length, width and height at 4735mm, 1859mm and 1682mm respectively. This makes it 197mm longer, 17mm wider and 43mm higher than the new Tiguan.
