Volkswagen Tayron coming soon

Volkswagen is soon launching the Tayron in India, replacing the Tiguan AllSpace. Spotted testing on Indian roads, it is expected to arrive by late 2025, marking Volkswagen's return to three-row SUVS.

Its design closely resembles the Tiguan R-Line but is 231 mm longer for more interior space. Front features include LED headlamps, a black grille cover, and a mesh-pattern air dam. The global model has IQ.LIGHT HD Matrix headlamps with Dynamic Light Assist, using 19,000 LEDs per headlamp. A single LED strip connects the main beams, featuring an illuminated VW badge at the center. The full feature list will be confirmed at launch.

The Tayron will be powered by the same 2.0 turbo petrol engine as in the Skoda Kodiaq and Tiguan R-Line, producing 200 bhp and 320 Nm torque. It will be paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.
