What are the differences between the Tayron and the Tiguan L?
2 Answers
The main differences between the Tayron and the Tiguan L are as follows: 1. Exterior: The Volkswagen Tayron has a more distinctive exterior design, featuring a polygonal design that gives it a more impactful visual appeal. The integration with the headlights enhances the aesthetic appeal of the car. On the other hand, the Volkswagen Tiguan L, which was launched earlier, has a more conservative design with predominantly straight lines on the body. 2. Interior: The Volkswagen Tayron incorporates more trendy elements, such as a three-spoke multifunction steering wheel and a central console equipped with an LCD screen. It also offers human-machine interaction functionality, allowing full-screen display of map navigation, which provides a better user experience. Overall, the interior of the Tayron has a three-dimensional feel. In contrast, the interior design of the Tiguan L is primarily simple and clean. Notably, all variants of the Tiguan L come with a multifunction steering wheel, and except for the base model, they all feature paddle shifters. The mid-to-high trim models are equipped with a 6.5-inch touchscreen paired with the Volkswagen MIB system, making it more convenient to use.
I was torn between these two cars for a long time when buying a car last year. The Tayron is just under 4.6 meters in length, while the Tiguan L stretches to 4.7 meters. The rear legroom in the Tiguan L is noticeably more spacious, allowing you to cross your legs comfortably. The Tiguan L's trunk can easily accommodate a stroller plus luggage, whereas the Tayron struggles a bit. However, the Tayron is more agile to drive, with a smaller turning radius, making city parking much easier. In terms of features, the Tayron offers a digital instrument cluster and heated steering wheel at the same price point, while the Tiguan L requires a higher trim for these. Fuel consumption-wise, the Tayron averages just over 8L/100km in the city, while the Tiguan L goes up to over 9L. It depends on whether you prioritize space or driving experience.
