History
Volkswagen Tayron (rear)

The Tayron was presented as a near series model VW Advanced Midsize SUV, during the premiere of the Volkswagen Touareg III in March 2018.[1] At the Chengdu Motor Show in September 2018, Volkswagen finally presented the production vehicle. Since October 22, 2018, it is available in China.

The Tayron is built by FAW-Volkswagen.[2] 1.4 and two litre turbocharged engines are standard, paired to a seven speed dual clutch gearbox. 280TSI, 330TSI and 380TSI trims are available and pricing for the Tayron ranges, between 185,900 and 313,900 yuan (26,880 to 45,380 USD).[3]

A variant with a coupé CUV body style called the "Tayron X" was announced in April 2020. It resembles the Volkswagen SUV Coupé Concept that was shown at the 2019 edition of Auto Shanghai. Besides having a different shape, it is slightly longer at 4,640 mm (182.7 in).[4]
