Overview
- Volkswagen India posted a brief “Coming Soon” teaser showing a veiled SUV with full-width LED light signatures, widely interpreted as the Tayron.
- Auto outlets report the model as a longer, slightly wider, 7-seat derivative of the Tiguan with distinct rear styling, positioned above the standard Tiguan.
- Reports expect a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol rated around 204 bhp and 320 Nm with a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox and all-wheel drive, likely in an R-Line avatar.
- Media previews suggest a Tiguan-like cabin with an added third row and features such as a 15-inch touchscreen, 10.25-inch instrument cluster, panoramic sunroof, nine airbags, ambient lighting and eight speakers.
- Pricing is projected near Rs 61 lakh on-road Mumbai, with rivals including Toyota Fortuner, Skoda Kodiaq and MG Gloster, after the newer Tiguan saw weak demand due to price and lack of diesel.
