Here’s everything you need to know about the new VW SUV:
Design
The Tayron features Volkswagen’s latest design language, which looks cleaner and more understated than that of the sportier Tayron R-Line.
Its fascia is characterised by sleek LED headlights that are connected by a full-width LED light bar running up to the illuminated ‘VW’ logo in the centre. The bumper gets a wide air dam with horizontal slats, lending the SUV a bold yet elegant look.
When viewed from the sides, the regular Tayron gets a long, upright silhouette with pronounced shoulder lines, squared wheel arches, roof rails, and subtle body cladding.
The Tayron Life has the same length and wheelbase as the Tayron R-Line. It is, however, 13 mm narrower in width and 1 mm taller in comparison to its R-Line twin.
