The Volkswagen Tayron is a crossover SUV produced by Volkswagen. Originally a Chinese market nameplate produced by FAW-Volkswagen since 2018, from the second-generation model the Tayron became a global nameplate starting in 2024 to replace the Tiguan Allspace, a long-wheelbase version of the Tiguan Mk2 that came with optional three-row seating.
According to Volkswagen, the name Tayron is a combination of the words 'tiger' and 'iron'.[1]
First generation (Typ 5N; 2018)
The first-generation Tayron was presented as a near production concept named VW Advanced Midsize SUV during the premiere of the Volkswagen Touareg III in March 2018.[2] At the Chengdu Motor Show in September 2018, Volkswagen finally presented the production vehicle. Since October 2018, it is available in China.
