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.
Volkswagen’s expansion in the Chinese market includes a new sub-brand called ID.UX and in Beijing, the company teased the first model. Called ID. Unyx, it was driven on stage with the lights turned down offering a glimpse of the production-ready model. It’s an all-electric crossover with an SUV-coupe profile that VW says features a driver-centric interior with “an entirely new display and operating concept (HMI) for young customers”.
