Volkswagen Tavendor

The Volkswagen Tavendor is a mid-size SUV with three-row seating that Volkswagen builds in China through its FAW-Volkswagen joint venture, in production since 2022. It sits between the larger Talagon and the smaller Tayron in the FAW-Volkswagen SUV line-up. It was unveiled in August 2022 on the MQB Evo architecture and shares its dimensions and powertrain options with the similarly sized Teramont and the larger Talagon. The powertrain is a turbocharged 2.0-litre TSI four-cylinder in 186 PS and 220 PS outputs, paired with a seven-speed DSG automatic and front-wheel drive or 4Motion all-wheel drive. Photos of a facelifted car were released by the Chinese industry ministry on 8 August 2025, and a new 450 TSI grade of 270 horsepower debuted at the 2025 Guangzhou Auto Show.
