Does the Volkswagen Tayron have a 7-seater option?

Volkswagen will launch a new large 7-seater SUV in the European market. Here are the specific details: 1. Vehicle introduction: According to FAW-Volkswagen's plan, it will later produce a B-main SUV at its Changchun base. It is expected that this model will be the same as the 7-seater SUV launched by Volkswagen in Europe and can be regarded as the 7-seater version of the Tayron. Currently, the entire Volkswagen brand has a gap in the 4.8-4.9 meter 7-seater SUV segment. After the launch of this B-main SUV, it will compete with mid-size 7-seater SUVs such as the Toyota Highlander and Ford Edge. 2. Dual-clutch transmission: The FAW-Volkswagen B-main SUV is built on the MQB B platform, with dimensions between the Tayron and B-SMV, and is relatively close to the SAIC Volkswagen Teramont X. In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a 2.0T high/low-power turbocharged engine, and the transmission system is a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
As a father who frequently travels with family, I've thoroughly researched the Volkswagen Tayron and found it only comes in a 5-seater version with no 7-seat option. It was designed as a mid-size urban SUV from the outset, featuring quite spacious rear seats with ample legroom that can comfortably accommodate three adults or children, though the rear seats cannot be folded down into additional seating. The trunk offers considerable capacity—over 500 liters—enough for several large suitcases, meeting the needs of daily family short trips. For larger families or those with frequent long-distance travel needs, I'd recommend looking at Volkswagen's Tiguan L or Teramont, which come with 7-seat versions and more flexible space configurations. The Tayron excels in easy handling and fuel efficiency, but the lack of a third row does lead some customers to turn to other brands. When choosing a car, I repeatedly test-sat the seats and realized the third row is rarely used; opting for a 5-seater is actually more economical. Many mid-size SUVs on the market, like the CR-V, also rarely offer 7 seats, so the Tayron's setup aligns well with the needs of modern small families. Remember, if your budget allows, you can opt for a roof rack to expand storage space. The Tayron's driving comfort is quite commendable, making it suitable for commutes or weekend outings. All things considered, the absence of a 7-seat option actually avoids a cramped feeling, enhancing its practicality.
