Volkswagen Commences Teaser Campaign for the Upcoming Tayron SUV
Volkswagen has officially started its teaser campaign for its next major offering in India, the Volkswagen Tayron. This new SUV, which was recently previewed under a white veil, is set to strengthen the brand’s premium lineup in the country. While the vehicle remains largely shrouded in the initial imagery, the silhouette and distinct lighting elements provide a clear indication of what is to come.
Design and Exterior Highlights
The first teaser focuses on the SUV’s advanced lighting signature. It features a full-width LED strip that merges seamlessly into the headlights. A standout design element is the illuminated Volkswagen logo, which is visible both at the front and rear of the vehicle.
The Tayron is essentially a more practical, three-row version of the popular Tiguan. While it shares a global design language, it is expected that the India-spec model could undergo specific cosmetic tweaks to suit local preferences. The rear features svelte connected taillights consisting of a thin LED strip and a backlit logo, mirroring the premium look of the front fascia.
Performance and Powertrain
Under the hood, the Volkswagen Tayron is expected to share its platform and powertrain with the Tiguan R-Line. Key performance specifications include:
- Engine: A 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbo-petrol (TSI) motor.
- Power Output: Delivering 204hp and 320Nm of torque.
- Transmission: A 7-speed DSG (dual-clutch) automatic gearbox.
- Drivetrain: It is likely to be offered with Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system.
Local Assembly and Market Position
Unlike some of the brand’s other high-end models, the Tayron will be brought to India via the CKD (Completely Knocked Down) route. It will be locally assembled at Volkswagen’s facility in Aurangabad, Maharashtra.
This local assembly strategy is intended to keep the pricing competitive within the premium segment. The SUV is estimated to be priced between Rs 45.00 lakh and Rs 50.00 lakh.
Expected Launch Timeline
Volkswagen is expected to release a series of teasers through its social media handles as the official reveal approaches. The market launch for the Tayron in India is currently scheduled for the first half of 2026.
