One of the many models built and sold by Volkswagen in China is the Tayron, a compact crossover developed by the local FAW-VW joint venture. It has been around since 2018 and is also available with coupe-derived styling as the Tayron X. Both ride on the MQB platform and are available exclusively in the People's Republic. However, things could change for the next-generation model if we were to rely on a new report published by Autocar India.
The publication claims VW intends to turn the Tayron into a global model to replace the long-wheelbase Tiguan sold in some markets with the "L" and "Allspace" suffixes. It's going to slot above the next-gen Tiguan and below the facelifted Touareg while serving as VW's equivalent of the second-gen Skoda Kodiaq. Rumor has it production will take place in Germany beginning next year, with plans to sell the umpteenth SUV in Europe and India but possibly other regions as well.
