Does the 2021 Tayron have a particulate filter?

The 2021 Tayron is equipped with a particulate filter in all models except the 380 variant. The 2021 Tayron comes in 9 variants, all of which, except the 380 model, include a particulate filter to comply with the China VI emission standards. A particulate filter is a ceramic filter installed in the diesel engine's emission system that captures particulate matter before it is released into the atmosphere. It can reduce soot emissions from diesel engines by over 90%, and the captured particulate matter is subsequently burned off during vehicle operation. How the particulate filter works: The diesel particulate filter is coated with metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. The black smoke containing carbon particles emitted by the diesel engine enters the particulate filter through a dedicated pipe. Inside, a densely arranged bag-type filter captures the carbon particles on a metal fiber felt filter. Once the accumulated particles reach a certain level, an automatic burner at the end ignites, burning off the captured carbon particles and converting them into harmless carbon dioxide. To check whether the 2021 Tayron has a particulate filter, you can use the following three methods: 1. Refer to the Owner's Maintenance Manual and Owner's User Manual to see if the particulate filter function is mentioned. Additionally, check the fault codes in the manual for any indicators related to the "particulate filter" warning light. 2. Look for markings on the oil cap. If the oil cap specifies 0W-20 grade oil, it indicates the presence of a particulate filter. 3. Inspect the exhaust pipe behind the three-way catalytic converter for a cylindrical section. If present, it confirms the installation of a particulate filter.

I've driven the 2021 Tayron, and it indeed comes equipped with a particulate filter, primarily to meet the China VI emission standards. As a car enthusiast, I noticed during actual driving that this device is hidden near the exhaust pipe, designed to capture tiny particles in the exhaust. During short trips or city traffic jams, particles tend to accumulate easily, and the onboard computer will prompt a regeneration process. I make it a habit to take the highway occasionally, keeping the engine at high speeds to burn off the accumulated particles and prevent the clogging fault light from coming on. Volkswagen widely adopted this device in their 2021 models, and the Tayron, being a key SUV model, naturally includes it. I think although it adds a bit of maintenance, it's crucial for air quality and regulatory compliance.

As a member of the car enthusiast community, I frequently communicate with Tiguan Allspace owners. The 2021 models are all equipped with a GPF (Gasoline Particulate Filter). With my extensive driving experience, I understand that the GPF's role is to reduce exhaust pollutants. During daily use, it's essential to pay attention to dashboard alerts and not ignore regeneration warnings; otherwise, severe blockages may require a visit to the repair shop. The 2021 Volkswagen models, including the Tiguan Allspace, are mandated to have this for environmental reasons, and its performance is quite good—emissions are cleaner post-installation. In our group, everyone shares maintenance tips like using higher-grade gasoline and avoiding frequent short trips. Overall, the Tiguan Allspace delivers stable performance, and the GPF is now a standard feature.

From an environmental perspective, I'm quite concerned. The 2021 Tayron does indeed come with a particulate filter. I've read that this device effectively filters harmful particles from gasoline exhaust, reducing air pollution. Under China's National VI emission standards, it's a responsible move for Volkswagen to equip the Tayron with a GPF. While driving, I try to cooperate with the regeneration prompts, such as taking longer trips to clear the particles. Environmentally speaking, every vehicle equipped with this technology makes a contribution. The design of the 2021 Tayron is very modern, and having a GPF ensures low emissions, making driving more reassuring.
