Design Language of the Volkswagen Tayron
The Volkswagen Tayron SUV shares its platform with the Skoda Kodiaq, both riding on Volkswagen's MQB EVO platform.

With dimensions of 4735 mm in length, 1859 mm in width, and standing at 1682 mm tall, it offers ample space for both passengers and cargo, complemented by a generous 62.5 L fuel tank.

Up front, you'll notice the IQ.Light high-resolution projector headlights flanked by a sleek LED strip, reminiscent of the design found on the Virtus. The grille, sporting a black-out close mesh design, is complemented by a sizable air inlet.
Its sleek side profile and sparkling dot matrix LED taillights further enhance its appeal. Adding to its charm are the black-out elements found on the OVRMs, cladding in the rear, roof, pillars, and wheel arches.
