The Volkswagen Tayron is VW's newest compact SUV — launched in 2024 as a successor to the Tiguan Allspace, available in standard 5-seat SUV and sportback SUV Coupé body styles on the MQB Evo platform.
The Volkswagen Tayron was unveiled in 2024 as the successor to the Tiguan Allspace (7-seat Tiguan). Built on the MQB Evo platform, it is available as a standard 5-seat (optional 7-seat) SUV. Engine options include: 1.5 TSI eTSI (150 hp, mild hybrid), 2.0 TSI (204 hp), 2.0 TSI eHybrid (272 hp), and 2.0 TDI (150 hp). An SUV Coupé (sportback) variant is also available.
The Tayron incorporates VW's most advanced technologies: IDA voice assistant, ChatGPT integration, Travel Assist 3.0 (semi-autonomous driving), and head-up display (HUD). DSG gearbox is standard, with 4MOTION all-wheel drive available on top trims. The MQB Evo platform gives the Tayron a larger cabin space and a lighter body.
In Azerbaijan, the Tayron is increasingly recognised as the successor to the Tiguan Allspace. It is obtainable through parallel import. Having gained great popularity in Europe, this model is also generating interest in the Azerbaijani market. Thanks to the wide adoption of the MQB platform, service options are relatively good — VW Tiguan/Golf technicians in Azerbaijan are familiar with this platform.
