From the patent images exposed before, the TAYRON boasts the automaker's latest iconic design in the exterior. It adopts the pentagonal LED daytime running lights, which looks quite similar to the T-Roc (in Chinese “Tange”), FAW-Volkswagen's first SUV model hitting the market on July 30.

At the rear end, the large-sized taillights were horizontally arranged, making the vehicle shaped with generous proportion. Under the taillights, the logo “TAYRON” exists there along with the mark of “380TSI” or “330TSI” based on different power variants. Besides, the SUV has a silver fender under the rear bumper.
