Volkswagen is set to re-enter the premium three-row SUV market in India with the Tayron R-Line, which will become the company’s new flagship model. The Tayron R-Line will sit above the Tiguan R-Line and fill the gap left by the Tiguan Allspace, which was discontinued in 2021. The new SUV is expected to arrive in India by March and will be available at a competitive price between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 50 lakh ex-showroom.<\/p>\n
The Tayron R-Line boasts a bold and aggressive design, with sportier bumpers, R-Line badges, and 19-inch alloy wheels. It is built on the same MQB EVO platform as the Tiguan, but with a longer wheelbase of 2,789mm, making room for a third row of seats. The SUV has already scored a five-star rating at Euro NCAP, which is a significant safety feature that Indian buyers in this segment expect.<\/p>\n
The interior of the Tayron R-Line is focused on space and comfort, with a large 15-inch touchscreen, a fully digital driver display, and a panoramic sunroof. The front seats are upholstered in leather and feature a massage function, as well as ventilation, which is a more practical choice for Indian conditions. The SUV also features ambient lighting with 30 color options and matrix LED headlamps, adding to its premium feel.<\/p>\n
The Tayron R-Line will be powered by the same 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine as the Tiguan R-Line, producing 201bhp and 320Nm of torque. The engine will be paired with a 7-speed dual clutch automatic gearbox and Volkswagen’s AWD system, which will provide confident road manners and decent off-road capability.<\/p>\n
The Tayron R-Line will be brought to India as a CKD (completely knocked down) unit, which means it will be locally assembled, resulting in a more competitive price tag. This will put it in direct competition with rivals like the Skoda Kodiaq, Jeep Meridian, and the MG Gloster. With its premium features, spacious interior, and competitive pricing, the Tayron R-Line is expected to be a strong contender in the Indian market.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
