Volkswagen Tayron 3-row SUV spied testing in India

The Tayron replaces the Tiguan Allspace in VW's SUV lineup.

The Volkswagen Tayron has been spotted testing in India. The new 3-row SUV is the replacement for the Tiguan Allspace and is expected to be launched by the end of this year.

The Tayron is based on VW’s MQB EVO platform, which is shared with the 5-seater Tiguan and the Skoda Kodiaq. The test car seen in these images is the R-Line variant, which has a slightly sporty look thanks to a black front fascia with large vents and dual-tone alloy wheels. The SUV has twin-pod LED headlamps with an integrated LED DRL and wraparound LED taillights connected by an LED light bar.

The Tayron will rival the Skoda Kodiaq and Toyota Fortuner in the Indian market

The Tayron’s cabin looks similar to the latest-gen Tiguan. It has a 3-spoke steering wheel with a digital instrument cluster and a massive central touchscreen. The SUV also has multi-zone automatic climate control, and a 360-degree camera, among other features.

In India, the Tayron is likely to be offered with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and a four-wheel drive system.
