Volkswagen India Teases Tayron Ahead of Local Launch

Reports point to CKD assembly in Aurangabad, with a 2.0-litre TSI paired to a 7-speed DSG likely.

Overview

  • The official social-media teaser shows a veiled SUV with connected LED light signatures that match the Tayron, confirming an India launch campaign is underway.
  • Automotive outlets widely expect a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol producing about 204 hp and 320 Nm, mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, with 4MOTION all-wheel drive likely on offer.
  • Multiple reports say the model will arrive as CKD kits for local assembly at Volkswagen’s Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar) facility.
