Volkswagen Tayron R-Line Launch Tomorrow: What We Know So Far

Volkswagen will launch the highly anticipated Tayron R-Line in India tomorrow. The German carmaker has already started accepting pre-bookings for its new flagship across dealerships and on digital platforms for a token amount of ₹51,000. The Tayron will signal Volkswagen’s return to the seven-seat SUV segment following the discontinuation of the Tiguan Allspace in 2022.

Volkswagen has confirmed that the Tayron will be locally assembled in India using CKD kits, a move expected to enable competitive pricing in the range of ₹45–50 lakh (ex-showroom). Ahead of its official launch, let us look at what we know so far about the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line.

Volkswagen Tayron R-Line: Design & Dimensions

The Tayron R-Line is based on Volkswagen’s evolved global SUV design language, featuring a muscular stance with pronounced shoulder lines and R-Line badging on the fenders. Notable design elements include illuminated Volkswagen logos at the front and rear, full-width LED light signatures at both ends, slim IQ.Light LED headlamps, and distinctive LED tail lamps. Riding on large 19-inch Coventry alloy wheels, the SUV projects a premium look and a strong road presence.

Built on the same MQB EVO platform as the Tiguan R-Line, the Tayron offers a longer 2,789 mm wheelbase, making it 109 mm longer than its predecessor and enabling the addition of a third row of seats. The SUV has also secured a 5-star Euro NCAP safety rating.

Volkswagen Tayron R-Line: Interiors & Features

Inside the cabin, the Tayron R-Line features a minimalist, horizontally layered dashboard with a driver-oriented 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system that integrates most key functions. This is paired with a fully digital cockpit and a head-up display. Similar to the Tiguan R-Line, the Tayron R-Line offers a massage function for its leather-upholstered front seats. However, unlike the Tiguan R-Line, which comes with seat heating, the Tayron R-Line is equipped with ventilated front seats—an addition better suited to local driving conditions.

Other notable features on offer include a panoramic sunroof, 30 colour ambient lighting, multi-zone automatic climate control, and matrix LED lamps. With the third-row seats folded, the Volkswagen Tayron offers a generous boot space of 850 litres.

Volkswagen Tayron R-Line: Powertrain

Powering the India-spec Volkswagen Tayron R-Line will be the familiar 2.0-litre TSI EVO turbo-petrol engine, delivering around 201 bhp and 320 Nm of torque. The engine will be paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission and Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.
