Volkswagen Tayron 7-Seater SUV Teased For The First Time In India

Volkswagen has dropped the first teaser for the upcoming Tayron seven-seater SUV, ahead of its India launch later this year. The Volkswagen Tayron fills the void previously left by the Tiguan AllSpace, and will be positioned above the Tiguan R-Line that’s on sale in the country. The teaser video shared on the automaker’s social media handles showcases the silhouette of the upcoming model and its LED lighting.

Volkswagen Tayron: What To Expect? 

The Volkswagen Tayron teaser shows off full-width LED lights at the front and rear, including the illuminated VW logo. The model appears to be identical to the global-spec version, but could see subtle differences for the Indian market such as larger 19-inch alloy wheels instead of 17-inch units seen on the global model.

The Volkswagen Tayron is identical to the Tiguan in design but is substantially larger in comparison, allowing for a more commanding road presence. The Tayron is 220 mm longer with a longer wheelbase too, which makes way for a third row. It also gets a bigger boot with a capacity of 850 litres, as opposed to 652 litres on the Tiguan. Moreover, India gets the sportier Tiguan R-Line, while the Tayron is expected to arrive in the standard guise, allowing for comfier front seats. The feature stack should be identical with a 12.9-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, adaptive cruise control, wireless charging, parking sensors, ADAS, and more.

 Volkswagen Tayron: Engine Specifications

The Volkswagen Tayron will draw power from the 2.0-litre TSI engine shared with the Tiguan R-Line. The motor produces 201 bhp and 320 Nm of peak torque, paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. The SUV will also come with all-wheel drive.

The upcoming Tayron is expected to be locally assembled in India at the Volkswagen Group’s Aurangabad facility, which should help keep prices competitive over the Tiguan R-Line, which arrives as a full import. Expect the SUV to be priced between ₹45-50 lakh (ex-showroom), taking on full-size SUVs such as thyoe Toyota Fortuner, Jeep Meridian, MG Gloster, and the new-gen Skoda Kodiaq.
