Volkswagen Tayron SUV to be unveiled in Europe next month

The Tayron is also expected to make it to Indian markets at a slightly later stage.

According to media reports, Volkswagen is bringing the Tayron SUV to the European market. The German carmaker will be unveiling the SUV on 10 October, which will serve as a replacement for the Volkswagen Tiguan AllSpace. Ahead of its unveiling, Volkswagen has released a teaser of the 7-seater SUV, which was unveiled in the Chinese market earlier this year.

The Volkswagen Tayron carries forward almost the same design as the new-generation Tiguan. Being a 7-seater SUV though, the Tayron will be longer and have a larger wheelbase than the Tiguan. Reports state the Tayron will be around 4,700 mm in length and have a wheelbase of roughly 2,800 mm. Inside, expect the SUV to get a fully digital instrument cluster, a large central touchscreen and an optional front passenger display, among a host of other features and tech.

The Tayron will be based on the MQB EVO platform, which also underpins the latest-generation Skoda Kodiaq. This indicates the Volkswagen SUV could receive the same set of petrol, diesel, mild-hybrid and plug-in-hybrid powertrain options.

As per reports, the Volkswagen Tayron could be offered with a starting price of around 38,000 GBP.

The Tayron is also expected to make it to Indian markets at a slightly later stage. It will take on the likes of the Jeep Meridian and the Skoda Kodiaq.
