Volkswagen Tayron India:  Volkswagen is anticipated to soon re-enter the seven-seater segment in India with the launch of its Tayron SUV. The seven-seater SUV from the German carmaker has been spotted testing on the Indian roads for quite some time now. The Volkswagen Tayron is expected to rival the longstanding Toyota Fortuner in the country. Here we are sharing all the details regarding the features, design, and expected launch of the Volkswagen Tayron in India.

Volkswagen Tayron: Design

The Tayron model spotted testing in the country shares its silhouette largely with the newly launched Tiguan R-Line. It features a sleek LED headlamp unit on the front with a black-grille, and an air curtain with a mesh pattern, and it looks close to the one we have seen on the Tiguan R-Line. It also gets the same 19-inch alloy wheels and rear bumper similar to the latter, but the taillight is slimmer and gets a different signature LED than the Tiguan R-Line.

Volkswagen Tayron Expected India Launch

The Volkswagen Tayron is confirmed to enter India with the official launch happening by the end of this year. It should also be noted that the German brand will manufacture its premium 7-seater SUV at its Aurangabad Plant in India, while it imports the Tiguan R-Line as a CBU (Completely Built Unit). This also means that the upcoming Volkswagen Tayron can have a price tag more competitive than the Tiguan R-Line.
