Autosport has already announced that Volkswagen is preparing a successor to the Tiguan for Brazil. Called Tiguan L Pro In China, the seven-seater SUV should be launched here in 2027 under the name Tayron. Autoesporte had the opportunity to get to know the model up close during the Beijing Motor Show, in China.
Starting with the dimensions, there are 2.79 meters of wheelbase (same number as the Tiguan currently sold in Brazil), 4.73 m long (same), 1.85 m wide (-1 cm) and 1.68 m in height (-1 cm). The five-seater version, displayed at the event, has a trunk capacity of 471 liters.

In design, the Tiguan L Pro follows the standard of European cars Volkswagen. The front brings back memories of the ID.4 when we analyze the headlights. The difference is that they are interconnected by a wider bar with horizontal chrome strips. The glossy black grille also features diamonds in the look.

On the side, the wheels can vary between 17 and 20 inches and have a five-rod design. The rear has an illuminated bar that connects the lights. In this case, even the VW symbol is illuminated. Furthermore, diamonds appear on the bumper.
Inside, the look is completely minimalist, just like the new Chinese models. The buttons (even the air conditioning) have been removed and everything is controlled by the multimedia center, which can be 12.9 or 15 inches, depending on the version. And there is another screen for the passenger.
Other than that, the finish is premium and mixes leather with Alcantara, at least in the R Line configuration. The inscription “R”, by the way, is sewn on the front seats. Finally, the gear lever was relocated from the center console to a stalk behind the steering wheel.
In China, the Tiguan L Pro can be equipped with an engine 2.0 turbo gasoline or 2.0 turbodiesel. Both are aided by a 48-volt mild hybrid system, with front- or all-wheel drive options.
However, the configuration that should arrive in Brazil is a plug-in hybrid (PHEV). In this case, the set is made up of the 1.5 TSI Evo2 engine (which will be flex in Brazil) and another electric engine to generate up to 272 hp combined power. It is also combined with the well-known DSG transmission, a dual-clutch automatic with six gears.
It’s worth remembering that the brand’s choice to bring a successor to the Tiguan has a reason. Although the SUV already has a third generation (which is not sold in Brazil), the car will be discontinued in other markets.
