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 will become a global nameplate starting in 2024 to replace the Tiguan Allspace (a long-wheelbase version of the Tiguan Mk2 with optional three-row seating).

Chronology
PredecessorVolkswagen Tiguan Allspace

The second-generation Tayron was presented at the 2024 Paris Motor Show in October. It is an SUV with optional three-row seating, positioned between the Tiguan and Touareg and replacing the Tiguan Allspace the long-wheelbase and three-row version of the Tiguan Mk2. It is the first Tayron to be marketed outside China.[7][8] Production of the Tayron Mk2 will be performed at three locations: Wolfsburg, Germany, Puebla, Mexico and Changchun, China.[9]

In China, the second-generation Tayron will be marketed as the Tayron L to signify its longer dimensions, and to distinguish it with the first-generation model.[10]

In North America, where Volkswagen offered the Tiguan Mk2 in a sole long-wheelbase version (with two-row and three-row options), the Tayron is marketed under the Tiguan nameplate.[11][12] It was unveiled the night before the Automobility LA press days at the 2024 Los Angeles Auto Show.[13] Unlike the previous Tiguan, the third-generation Tiguan for North America is only available with two-row seating.[14]
