Volkswagen Tayron
Volkswagen is set to launch a new premium three-row SUV, the Tayron, in India in 2025. The Tayron is expected to be a replacement for the seven-seat Tiguan AllSpace but with significant differentiation from the five-seat Tiguan. With the launch of the Tayron, Volkswagen is expected to expand its SUV lineup in India and target the growing demand for premium and spacious SUVs.
Expected Starting Price
As of now, there is no official word on the price of the Volkswagen Tayron in India. However, it is expected to be positioned above the Tiguan Allspace in the Indian market, which has a starting price of around Rs 34 lakh (ex-showroom). Given that the Tayron is likely to be assembled in India from CKD kits in limited numbers, it could be priced slightly higher than the Tiguan Allspace. We can expect more details on the pricing closer to the launch of the vehicle.
Design and Styling:
The Volkswagen Tayron is based on the MQB-A2 platform, which it shares with the Skoda Kodiaq. The Tayron is expected to be significantly larger than the China-exclusive Tayron, with an additional row of seats. The design of the Tayron is expected to be unique and sharp, setting it apart from its siblings in the Volkswagen SUV lineup. The front of the Tayron is expected to feature a bold grille and sharp LED headlights, while the rear is likely to have a sporty appearance with sleek taillights.
Power and Performance:
The Volkswagen Tayron is expected to be available with two engine options – a 1.4-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 148 horsepower and a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine producing 186 horsepower. Both engines are expected to be paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and offer front-wheel drive or all-wheel drive. The Tayron is expected to have an impressive performance, thanks to its powerful engines and advanced technologies.
