The Tiguan L Pro showcased in Beijing is essentially a long-wheelbase version of the new third-generation VW Tiguan. It’s expected to go on sale in India in 2025 with a three-row layout. According to unconfirmed reports it might be sold in India as Tayron.
The Tiguan L is 197mm longer than the standard Tiguan, with a 111mm longer wheelbase. Despite the extra cabin space, this China-spec version has only two rows of seating. Visually, aside from a more aggressive bumper and the obvious increase in length, the Tiguan L is identical to the standard wheelbase Tiguan that’s already on sale in Europe. Under the hood is a 2.0-litre turbo petrol producing 186bhp and 320Nm paired with a 7-speed DCT.
