Volkswagen Tayron: series production of the new SUV starts in Wolfsburg

Volkswagen has officially started series production of the new Tayron at the company's main plant in Wolfsburg. The symbolic ceremony was attended by employees from various departments as well as plant manager Uwe Schwartz and production board member Jürgen Mahnkopf.

Here's What We Know

The Tayron is the fourth model to roll off the assembly line at Volkswagen's largest plant in the world. The other three are the Golf, Tiguan and Touran. In Wolfsburg, more than 48 million cars have been made over the entire time, making it the largest automotive plant in terms of production volume. According to Christian Vollmer, Member of the Volkswagen Management Board for Production, the successful start of production of the Tayron is an important signal for the Group's entire plant network.

Plant Director Uwe Schwarz said that the launch of the new car is a well-coordinated team effort. Special attention was paid to the integration of Tayron on the line with the existing production of Tiguan.

The first Tayron to come off the line comes in Ultra Violet Metallic, a 2.0-litre TDI diesel engine and a panoramic roof. In the coming weeks, Wolfsburg will produce demonstration cars for dealers, and already in March 2025 the new model will appear in European car dealerships.
