A new large VW SUV, with 7 seats

Tayron is the name of the new Volkswagen model that will slot in between the Tiguan and the Touareg. This SUV is intended for the European market, with a wide range of engines. And ChatGPT on board!

The Volkswagen Tayron for Europe is a distant cousin of the Chinese Tayron. It is even a different model, even though they are both SUVs. The Tayron for Europe is 4.77 m long. A beautiful baby with a trunk of 885 liters with 5 passengers. For two people for a move, it is a cargo of 2090 l. It is also possible to dedicate part of this space to install two additional people on optional booster seats (but with still 345 l of trunk). However, the folded seats reduce the trunk by 35 l in 5-seater configuration, or 850 l. And all this with a neat interior with screens, apparent luxury and up-to-date assistance. Thus, the optional IDA voice assistant integrates ChatGPT. Volkswagen also offers a 700-watt Harman-Kardon audio system.

Diesel

Under the hood, the Wolfsburg manufacturer does not skimp on choices: hybrid, petrol and diesel. It will start with a 1.5 eTSI petrol with 48 V mild hybridization of 150 hp. In plug-in hybrid, the Tayron has 204 hp or 272 hp depending on the solution chosen for the 1.5 eHybrid. Their 19.7 kWh (net) battery allows an electric range approaching 100 km. It is even possible to charge it on the go at a 50 kW DC fast terminal. In Diesel, the 2.0 TDI has 193 hp. All drive systems are coupled to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox (DSG), except for the 6-speed plug-in hybrid. There are also 4Motion all-wheel drive versions. They are capable of towing a 2.5-ton trailer, with Trailer Assist maneuvering assistance system.
