The newest member of the Volkswagen family, the Tayron, has started to be produced at Volkswagen Group’s largest plant in Wolfsburg. The Tayron is the fourth model to be built at the plant, joining the Golf, Tiguan and Touran.
The SUV, which is available with up to seven seats, was given a grand reception by employees, Wolfsburg Plant Manager Uwe Schwartz and Works Council member Jurgen Mahnkopf, as the model began production. To date, more than 48 million cars have been produced in Wolfsburg, more than any other car factory in the world.
"A car launch is always a team effort, involving the entire production team. With the Tayron, many cogs meshed perfectly: from the press shop to body construction, painting, assembly, and vehicle completion. Our colleagues can be proud of this achievement.”
“In the coming weeks we will do everything we can to ramp up Tayron production successfully.”
- Uwe Schwartz
The first Tayron to roll off the production line was an Ultra Violet Metallic model featuring a 2.0 litre TDI engine, as well as panoramic roof. Over the coming weeks, show and demonstrator cars for European Volkswagen dealers will be produced in Wolfsburg.
“The Tayron SoP marks an important milestone for the Wolfsburg site. I am sure that our new SUV will build on the success of its predecessor, the Tiguan Allspace, and make an important contribution to job security. Customers in China are already excited about this car and the Tayron will also find many buyers in Europe. Our colleagues in production have done a great job in challenging conditions. In parallel with the pre- series production of the Tayron, they had to manage the launches of the new Tiguan and the Golf product upgrade. They achieved this together, as a team, and I’d like to thank them on behalf of everyone working at the site."
- Jurgen Mahnkopf
The Tayron is the second-largest SUV of the Volkswagen brand in Europe, after the Touareg and is set to go on display in showrooms from March 2025. First cars will be delivered to customers shortly after. Once the model is on sale, customers will be able to choose from seven different efficient engines, including two next-generation plug-in hybrid drives (eHybrid). These models will offer ranges of more than 100km and up to 850km between fuel stops
