SPY PICS: 2025 Volkswagen Tayron set to replace Tiguan Allspace

The 2025 Volkswagen Tayron will replace the current Tiguan Allspace as the German brand’s seven-seat large SUV, positioned beneath the flagship VW Touareg luxury SUV, and our Arctic spy photographers have just spotted the model winter testing in Sweden.

The Volkswagen Tayron’s evolution from a China-only model to a global product in its next generation was announced last year by VW boss Thomas Schafer and chief engineer Karl-Heinz Hell in the lead-up to the third-generation Tiguan’s global reveal – a model we now know will go without a seven-seat derivative.

Whereas the existing Tiguan and Tiguan Allspace are almost indistinguishable from each other, the new Tayron will look nothing like the 2025 Tiguan and instead takes after the Touareg with high-set lines and bolder haunches that add an extra dash of grandeur.

Our sources tell us the new Tayron is about 200mm longer than the next-gen Tiguan – as well as marginally wider and taller, with a longer wheelbase to match.

The two models will share the same MQB Evo architecture, with a largely similar powertrain line-up expected.

There’s been no indication yet as to when Volkswagen’s new seven-seat SUV will arrive here, but our contacts have nominated a 2025 release date in Europe, which means we won’t see it until at least the second half of next year or even the first half of 2026.
