This generation features a significant overhaul in design, offering both standard and R-Line variants with expanded dimensions.

The all-new Tayron L introduces two front-end designs, one for the standard version and another for the sportier R-Line. Key differences between the variants lie in the front and rear bumpers, wheels, and body colors. The new Tayron L measures 4,684 mm (4,695 mm for R-Line) in length, 1,854 mm (1,866 mm for R-Line) in width, and 1,685 mm (1,684 mm for R-Line) in height, with a 2,791 mm wheelbase—60 mm longer than the previous Tayron.

Inside, the new Tayron L resembles the Tiguan L PRO, featuring a 15-inch central touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and a Qualcomm 8155 chip supporting a 2K screen with CarPlay and CarLife. It also incorporates iFlytek's voice assistant, enabling accurate voice recognition in both driver and passenger zones. A dedicated passenger screen provides additional entertainment options unique to the Chinese market.

Available in 5- and 7-seat configurations, the new Tayron L offers heated, ventilated, and massaging front seats, while second-row seats have heating and ventilation. A premium Harman Kardon audio system is also included.

Power options include a 1.5T turbocharged engine for the 300TSI variant, delivering 160 hp (118 kW) and 250 Nm, and a 2.0T engine for the 380TSI variant, generating 220 hp (162 kW) and 350 Nm, both paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission.

The new vehicle is equipped with intelligent driving system from Zhuoyu (previously known as DJI Automotive), the IQ.Pilot system, supporting L2+ smart driving features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping, and automated emergency maneuvers. It also offers one-touch automatic parking and remote-controlled parking.
