After revealing the first images of its Tiguan, still heavily camouflaged, Volkswagen is set to update its SUV lineup by 2025, our colleagues at Autocar have revealed.

On this day, Volkswagen will launch the second generation of the Tayron, a model that we do not know in Europe for a simple and good reason that it is not sold in our regions. Currently, this SUV is manufactured and sold in China, but for the new generation, this time it will be the opposite and will be produced at the German plant in Wolfsburg.

The new 7-seater Tiguan, here it is

According to the first information, it will be based on the same MQB Evo platform as the new Tiguan, but will be larger and will be able to accommodate third row of seats. So the new Tayron should replace the Tiguan Allspace and be longer than 4.7 meters, all of which should be better for living.

The exterior will differ from that of the Tiguan, but it is likely that we will find many similarities with the latter, starting with the 15-inch infotainment screen, which is equipped with an all-new operating system. brand In addition, the Tayron should also be equipped with the DCC Pro system for electronically controlled shock absorbers, which allows the stiffness to be adjusted in 10 different positions.

A number of classic engines

As for engines, The Tayron should inherit the same catalog as the Tiguan. The SUV should therefore be eligible for the very classic TDI four-cylinder units, TSI petrol engines and, of course, the new plug-in hybrid engines.

The only information we have at the moment regarding the hybrid, which is still based on the Tiguan, is that it will have a 23kWh battery mated to a 1.5-litre TSI petrol unit and a six-speed DSG automatic transmission . So the Tayron, like the Tiguan, should be electric range of about 100 kmwith the possibility of charging with direct current up to 50 kW.
