Volkswagen Tayron spotted in India, will be replacement for Tiguan Allspace
Volkswagen Tayron will go against Skoda Kodiaq, Toyota Fortuner and BYD Sealion 7.
Volkswagen Tayron has been spotted on the Indian roads. The test mule was not wearing any camouflage. The Tayron is expected to hit the Indian roads by the end of 2025 and it will mark Volkswagen's return to the three-row SUV space. The brand used to sell the Tiguan Allspace in India, but it was replaced with the recently launched Tiguan R-Line. In the global market, the Tayron sits below the Touareg. The Tayron will be brought to the Indian shores via CKD or Completely Knocked Down unit and will be assembled at Aurangabad plant of Volkswagen.
Most of the design elements of the Tayron are similar to the Tiguan R-Line. However, the length has been increased by 231 mm to open up more interior space. Up-front, there is a sleek pair of LED headlamps along with a black grille cover and an air dam that has a mesh pattern. The global model gets IQ.LIGHT HD Matrix headlamps with Dynamic Light Assist that brings 19,000 individually controlled LEDs in each headlamp unit. The standard main beam LED headlamps are connected by a single LED strip with an illuminated VW badge at the centre that emits a white glow. However, we will have to wait for the official launch to happen because that is when we will know the full feature list of the vehicle.
