Volkswagen Tayron globally unveiled; India launch in 2025

The SUV will also be assembled in India via CKD kits to take on local competitors like the Jeep Meridian, Citroen C5 Aircross and the Skoda Kodiaq.

Volkswagen has unveiled the new Tayron SUV for global markets. The new Volkswagen Tayron will replace the Tiguan AllSpace (3-row version). The new Tayron will go on sale in China first, followed by other international markets. The new SUV is also expected to make its way to India sometime in 2025.

As mentioned before, the Tayron is essentially a stretched version of the brand's latest-gen Tiguan model. The Tayron carries forward a similar design with sleek LED headlamps at the front connected by a light bar, an aggressive-looking front bumper, a decent amount of chrome all around, large alloy wheels and LED tail lights at the rear.

Inside as well, the Tayron will share a lot of features and equipment with the new Tiguan, including the dashboard, illuminated trim elements and large screens for the instrument cluster and the central infotainment system.

The Volkswagen Tayron is based on the brand's MQB EVO platform, which also underpins the new Tiguan and the Skoda Kodiaq. The Tayron measures 4,735 mm in length, 1,859 mm in width and 1,682 mm in height. It has a wheelbase of 2,791 mm - which is 111 mm longer than that of the VW Tiguan.

Powering the new Volkswagen Tayron is the familiar 2.0-litre TSI engine with varying states of tune. Certain markets will get a 2.0-litre diesel engine option as well. All powertrains will come with a 48V mild hybrid setup, with either 4WD or 2WD.

Reports also state that the Volkswagen Tayron will be manufactured in Germany, China & Mexico. In addition, the SUV will also be assembled in India via CKD kits to take on local competitors like the Jeep Meridian, Citroen C5 Aircross and the Skoda Kodiaq.
