For China this is already the second generation Tayron
The new Volkswagen Tayron crossover, designed to replace the Tiguan Allspace, appeared during winter tests in Europe. In fact, this car has three names: in the US it will debut this year as the Tiguan 2025, and in China it will be the Tiguan L or the second-generation Tayron (depending on the joint venture where the car will be produced). But regardless of the name, it’s the same car, and it will look about the same everywhere.
The crossover will be built on the MQB evo platform. In Europe, the Tayron will be offered with engines from the third generation Tiguan introduced last year — 2-liter petrol and diesel engines, «soft» a hybrid based on a 1.5-liter engine, a plug-in hybrid with a 1.5-liter engine.
Tiguan in the USA will not have such a variety of engines: it will receive a 2-liter engine with a 48-volt hybrid superstructure and a 7-speed robot. The drive will be both front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. However, the option of a plug-in hybrid is not excluded.
The official premiere of the North American Tiguan 2025 and the European Tayron is expected this year.
