VW reveals new details of India-bound Tayron SUV

Volkswagen plans to introduce the Tayron in India by early 2025.

Volkswagen's head of engineering Karlheinz Hell has revealed more details of its new 7-seater SUV, the Tayron. It will replace the Tiguan AllSpace in the brand's global line-up.

The Volkswagen Tayron will be based on the upgraded version of the brand's MQB platform, which will be shared with the next-gen Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq. It will also be larger than the outgoing model.

Crucially, unlike the Tiguan AllSpace, which looks similar to the regular Tiguan, the Tayron will get unique styling. It will be offered in standard and coupe body styles, in 7-seater and 5-seater configurations, respectively.

Powering the Tayron will be 2.0-litre turbo-petrol and turbo-diesel engines paired with a 48-volt mild-hybrid system and a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox. Additionally, there will be two petrol plug-in hybrid options.

Reports suggest that Volkswagen plans to introduce the Tayron in India by early 2025. It is likely to be imported via the CKD route and assembled locally. The India-spec Tayron could use a 2.0-litre petrol engine.
