As the seven-seat variant of the Tiguan, it shares a similar design, featuring sleek LED headlights and an illuminated Volkswagen logo at the front. The rear is defined by a striking full-width LED light bar and distinctive 3D tail-lamps, prominently displaying the Volkswagen badge. The Tayron is equipped with 17 to 19-inch alloy wheels, which fit well into its bold squared-off wheel arches, adding to its modern and stylish appearance.
The second-generations Volkswagen Tayron measures 4,770mm in length, which is 231mm longer than the European version of the Tiguan. To make space for an additional row of seats, Volkswagen has increased the wheelbase by approximately 110mm, bringing in to 2,791mm.
