Overview
- The India-spec Tayron R-Line is a seven-seat SUV positioned above the Tiguan and successor to the Tiguan Allspace, with CKD assembly at Volkswagen’s Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) plant.
- Pre-bookings are open nationwide for a refundable Rs 51,000 token via Volkswagen’s website or authorised dealers.
- The SUV uses a 2.0-litre EA888 turbo-petrol making about 204 hp and 320 Nm, paired to a 7-speed DSG and 4Motion all-wheel drive, with a claimed 0–100 km/h time of 7.3 seconds.
- Equipment highlights include Level 2 ADAS, a 15-inch driver-angled touchscreen, a 10.25-inch cluster, an 11-speaker Harman Kardon system, a panoramic sunroof and powered, ventilated, massaging front seats.
- Early reviews commend its driver-focused dynamics but note a cramped third row suited to children; pricing and variants are pending, with launch expected around March 2026 in the mid-Rs 40–50 lakh bracket.
