The next Volkswagen Tayron SUV is due on sale in the UK in 2025 as a successor to the seven-seat Tiguan Allspace, which will be retired after this model generation.
The current Tayron is sold exclusively in China in both standard and coupé (Tayron X) bodystyles, but the redesigned Mk2 car is being engineered for sale in all of Volkswagen's key markets, including the UK, officials at the German company have confirmed.
"We will extend our existing SUV line-up on a global basis with the second-generation Tayron, which is already under development and will go on sale by the middle of the decade," said Karl-Heinz Hell, head of engineering for Volkswagen's mid- to full-size models.
Based on the new third-generation Tiguan (driven, p26), the new Tayron will receive its own unique styling.
As with today's model, it is planned to support two bodystyles, the more practical of which is earmarked for sale in the UK with an extended rear overhang and the choice of either five or seven seats.
A rakish, five-seat liftback variant is also set to be sold in China and North America.
