All-round SUV with charisma. The new Tayron is an all-round SUV. With up to seven seats, an XXL trunk, front or all-wheel drive, and a very high level of safety, it is perfectly tailored to larger families and every leisure adventure. At the same time, the comfortable Tayron scores as an ideal company car. Robust all-terrain features in the exterior and high-quality materials in the interior ensure that it crosses the jungle of everyday life unscathed. As a mild hybrid (eTSI), it does this as often as possible with the turbo gasoline engine deactivated in silent-efficient sailing mode thanks to electric recuperation. As a plug-in hybrid (eHybrid), the Tayron can roam purely electrically for up to 126 km; at the same time, a range of more than 900 km is achieved on long journeys for the combination of the electric motor and high-tech turbo gasoline engine. As a turbo diesel (TDI) and turbo gasoline engine (TSI) with all-wheel drive (4MOTION), the SUV also masters off-road passages confidently and can tow trailers weighing up to 2,500 kg. The all-rounder is positioned between the Touareg (upper class) and the Tiguan (middle class). The Tayron is built where it was developed: in Wolfsburg.
