New VW Tayron SUV Enters Production

Wedoany.com Report-Nov 30,Volkswagen’s new Tayron SUV (earlier post) has entered production at the Wolfsburg plant in Germany. Customers will be able to choose from seven efficient engines, including two next-generation plug-in hybrid drives (eHybrid). These offer electric ranges of more than 100 kilometers and long traveling distances of up to 850 km between fuel stops.

The first Tayron to roll off the line was an Ultra Violet Metallic example with a 2.0 liter TDI diesel engine and a panoramic roof. Over the coming weeks, show and demonstrator cars for European Volkswagen dealers will be produced in Wolfsburg.

The second-largest SUV of the Volkswagen brand in Europe, after the Touareg, the Tayron will go on display in showrooms from March, with the first cars being delivered to customers shortly after.

The SUV all-rounder, which is optionally available with seven seats, is the fourth model to be produced at the Volkswagen Group’s largest plant, alongside the Golf, Tiguan and Touran. To date, more than 48 million cars have been produced in Wolfsburg—more than any other car factory in the world.

Tayron was integrated into the processes of Assembly Line 4 while Tiguan production was ongoing.
