Volkswagen Tayron: Engine And Transmission

The Tayron shares its engine with its other siblings, as well as the newly launched Skoda Kodiaq in the country. The 7-seater premium SUV by Volkswagen draws its power from a 2-litre petrol engine, which churns out 204 hp and 320 Nm of torque. As for the transmission, the 3-row SUV gets a 7-speed DCA (dual-clutch automatic) transmission. The power is sent to all the wheels of the SUV.

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 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.
