What are the body dimensions of the Tayron?

The body dimensions of the Tayron are: length 4589 mm, width 1860 mm, and height 1660 mm, which are official data. The length of the Volkswagen Tayron refers to the distance between two vertical planes perpendicular to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and touching the outermost protruding parts at the front and rear of the car; the width refers to the distance between two planes parallel to the vehicle's longitudinal symmetrical plane and touching the outermost rigid fixed protruding parts on both sides of the vehicle; the height refers to the distance between the highest point of the vehicle and the vehicle's support plane. The Tayron offers three different powertrains across its lineup: a 1.4T-110kW (150PS), and two 2.0T options with low power 137kW (186PS) and high power 162kW (220PS), all paired with a seven-speed wet dual-clutch transmission. National regulations have specific requirements regarding vehicle dimensions. According to the national standard "GB1589-89," the total width of a vehicle does not include side mirrors. The limitation on vehicle width is to provide sufficient lateral clearance between adjacent lanes for overtaking. This means that, under national standards, the significance of vehicle width data is to ensure enough space during overtaking, preventing accidents due to excessive width or situations where road markings are narrower than the vehicle's width. Additionally, national regulations stipulate that the total width of a vehicle must not exceed 2.5m to meet the usage requirements of public roads.
The Tayron's body dimensions are approximately 4.59 meters in length, 1.86 meters in width, and 1.66 meters in height, with a wheelbase close to 2.73 meters. This proportion is very friendly for urban commuting, especially with its well-controlled length, making it easy to park in regular parking spaces. I particularly like its height design—you don’t need to bend over to get in, which is especially convenient for the elderly. The trunk is also very practical, with a standard volume that can fit about three to four large suitcases. When going camping with the family on weekends, folding chairs, tables, and tents can all be easily packed. It feels very stable to drive, with minimal body roll during turns, and it doesn’t feel floaty even when driving on highways in the rain. The overall size balances agility and practicality, making it particularly suitable for daily family use.
