What is the body length dimension of the Tayron?

The body length dimension of the Tayron is 4590 mm, with a width and height of 1860 mm and 1660 mm respectively, and a wheelbase of 2731 mm. Compared to the overseas version, the body length has been increased by 100 mm, and the wheelbase has been extended by 50 mm. The Tayron comes standard with four driving modes: Road Mode, two Off-road Modes, and Snow Mode. As a premium German mid-size SUV, the Tayron is produced by FAW-Volkswagen and offers four powertrain options: 280TSI, 330TSI, 380TSI, and both front-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations, totaling 10 models. The Tayron, as a mid-size SUV from Volkswagen, is built on the MQB A2 platform and is based on the European version of the Tiguan.
When driving the Tayron to pick up my kids from school, I specifically measured the car's dimensions. The overall length is about 4.59 meters, which is quite suitable for an SUV. Our residential parking spaces are small, and I used to drive a friend's 5-meter-long sedan, which always made me nervous when reversing. The Tayron's size is just right—it fits perfectly into standard parking spaces with about a hand's width to spare front and back, and I never worry about finding a parking spot when taking the family to the mall on weekends. The trunk can easily fit two 28-inch suitcases plus a stroller, and there's still knee room for three adults in the back. Once, I parked next to a neighbor's CR-V and compared—the Tayron is 1 cm shorter in length but has a longer wheelbase, and the space utilization is really well done.
After studying numerous SUV specifications, the Tayron's body length of 4592mm is quite intriguing within its class: 1cm shorter than the Japanese CR-V, yet over 20cm less than its sibling Tiguan L. In real-world driving, this length proves particularly suitable for urban roads—its turning radius is smaller than longer-wheelbase vehicles, requiring fewer steering adjustments in narrow alleyways. With a curb weight around 1.6 tons paired with this compact length, the 2.0T engine maintains fuel consumption at approximately 8L. The sub-4.6-meter length represents a golden ratio balancing interior space and maneuverability. The Tayron hits this sweet spot precisely, with its rear design avoiding the cargo-compromising styling of some rivals, embodying classic German pragmatism.
Just picked up the new Tayron last month, and the manual clearly states a body length of 4590mm. This size turned out to be more practical than expected—loaded with a foldable tent and grill for a family weekend getaway, there was still spare space. The 360-degree camera alerts when the front is 60cm from a wall during reversing, yet the actual length from bumper to bumper is only about 10cm longer than a standard parking space. I specifically compared the data: it's almost the same length as the CR-V, but with over 3cm more wheelbase, no wonder the rear feels roomier. Another 10cm longer, and it would really struggle with sharp turns in old residential areas.
