Volkswagen unveiled the new Tayron SUV in Europe; the large Volkswagen SUV with five or optionally seven seats is positioned between the Touareg (premium class) and the Tiguan (mid-class).
A total of seven drive systems will soon be available. The range includes two next-generation plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (eHybrid). They can achieve electric ranges of more than 100 km and long journeys with up to 850 km between two refueling stops. In addition, with the ability to tow up to 2.5 tonnes, the Tayron is a stylish yet well-equipped towing vehicle for trailers of all shapes and sizes.
Launching as the Life version, the Tayron will be available with a 110 kW mild hybrid drive and an extensive range of equipment from €45,475. The new Tayron will celebrate its trade show premiere at the Mondial de l’Auto in Paris from 14 to 20 October.
A note for the US—while the Tayron has been widely reported to represent the next version of the Tiguan for the US market, although the US Tiguan will receive the long-wheelbase setup of ththe Taycon, the sheetmetal, powertrain options and equipment set will differ markedly. More details about the USTiguan offer will be forthcoming later this year.
The Tayron’s entry-level package is known as the Life equipment line, which is followed by two top-of-the-range packages: Elegance and R-Line. As the entry-level version, the Life version of the Tayron already offers a wide range of standard equipment.
The Tayron Life’s standard assist systems include adaptive cruise control (ACC), the oncoming vehicle braking when turning function, lane change system (Side Assist), lane keeping system (Lane Assist), an automatic emergency braking system including pedestrian and cyclist monitoring (Front Assist), Park Assist Plus, rear view camera system, dynamic road sign display and the new exit warning system. As an extension of the lane change system, the latter can—within the system limits—prevent one of the doors from being opened if another road user approaches from behind.
Mild hybrid, plug-in hybrid, gasoline or diesel. After launching all versions with a mild hybrid drive (eTSI), Volkswagen will also offer the Tayron with two plug-in hybrid drives (eHybrid), two turbocharged gasoline engines (TSI) and two turbocharged diesel engines (TDI).
All drive systems are coupled to an automatic dual clutch gearbox (DSG). Even the entry-level eTSI engine with an output of 110 kW (150 PS) is a high-tech drive system (mild hybrid with 48 V technology). However, the advantages of the electric and gasoline drives are combined in the two plug-in hybrid models.
They deliver a system power of 150 kW (204 PS) and 200 kW (272 PS). With a 19.7 kWh (net) battery, both Tayron eHybrids can achieve electric ranges of more 100 km. Their batteries can be charged with up to 11 kW at an AC wallbox or AC charging station and with up to 50 kW at DC quick-charging stations.
The largest TDI with 142 kW (193 PS) is also very efficient and is paired with 4MOTION all-wheel drive as standard. All Tayron 4MOTION models are designed for maximum trailer weights of up to 2,500 kg (braked, 12% gradient). Due to the Trailer Assist maneuvering assist system, which comes as standard in conjunction with the towing bracket (folding), even large horse trailers or boat trailers are easy to handle.
Four drive system options are available for pre-sales. The entry-level version is the 110 kW eTSI in the Life specification package, which is available from €45,475. In addition, the two eHybrid versions and the most powerful TDI with 142 kW are also available to order.
