Volkswagen gearing up to launch Tayron in India

Volkswagen is preparing to expand its lineup with the upcoming Tayron SUV, which will take the place of the Tiguan AllSpace in the brand’s Indian portfolio. The three-row SUV has already been spotted testing on Indian roads and is expected to arrive by late 2025.

Design highlights of the Tayron

Styling cues on the Tayron draw inspiration from the Tiguan R-Line, but the SUV is notably longer by 231 mm, offering more cabin space. The front fascia features sleek LED headlamps, a blacked-out grille, and a mesh-patterned air dam. Globally, it is offered with IQ.LIGHT HD Matrix headlamps equipped with Dynamic Light Assist, boasting 19,000 individually controlled LEDs per unit. A full-width LED strip connects the headlamps and integrates an illuminated VW badge, although feature details for the Indian model will be confirmed closer to launch.
