Its design closely resembles the Tiguan R-Line but is 231 mm longer for more interior space. Front features include LED headlamps, a black grille cover, and a mesh-pattern air dam. The global model has IQ.LIGHT HD Matrix headlamps with Dynamic Light Assist, using 19,000 LEDs per headlamp. A single LED strip connects the main beams, featuring an illuminated VW badge at the center. The full feature list will be confirmed at launch.
The Tayron will be powered by the same 2.0 turbo petrol engine as in the Skoda Kodiaq and Tiguan R-Line, producing 200 bhp and 320 Nm torque. It will be paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
