The teaser visuals show a large SUV covered in a white veil, with LED headlights and LED DRL light signatures illuminated at both the front and rear. The silhouette and lighting elements suggest a premium, three-row SUV, believed to be the Volkswagen Tayron. This teaser comes after multiple sightings of the Tayron testing on Indian roads, with earlier spy shots showing the SUV without camouflage and wearing Tayron badging.<\/p>\n<p>The Tayron is expected to replace the second-generation Tiguan Allspace in global markets and sits above the standard Tiguan in Volkswagen&#8217;s SUV lineup. The teaser shows illuminated full-width LED elements at the front and rear, matching what has been seen on test mules. The rear light bar and distinctive tail lamp signature appear different from the India-spec Volkswagen Tiguan R Line, suggesting that this is a more differentiated product.<\/p>\n<p>The overall proportions visible under the cover hint at a longer wheelbase, aligned with the Tayron&#8217;s three-row layout. Globally, the Tayron is positioned as a more spacious SUV, offering a usable third row and a larger boot. Boot space starts at around 345 liters with all three rows up and can expand significantly when the third row is folded.<\/p>\n<p>In India, the Tayron is expected to be offered in a sportier R Line avatar, with earlier sightings showing R badging and alloy wheels similar to those on the Tiguan R Line. Inside, it is likely to mirror the Tiguan&#8217;s cabin in terms of layout, technology, and features, while offering additional space and flexibility for family buyers. The Tayron is expected to be powered by a 2.0-liter, four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine that produces around 204 bhp and 320 Nm, paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and Volkswagen&#8217;s all-wheel-drive system.<\/p>\n<p>With this new teaser, Volkswagen has signaled its intent to re-enter the premium three-row SUV space in India, a gap that opened up after the discontinuation of Tiguan Allspace in 2021. More details, including the official name, variant strategy, and launch timeline, are expected to be revealed in the coming weeks as Volkswagen builds anticipation around its next big SUV for India. The Tayron is likely to be locally assembled at the SAVWIPL facility in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar, similar to the Kodiaq.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Volkswagen has released a teaser hinting at the launch of a new SUV in the Indian market.
