Volkswagen Tayron R-Line has been confirmed to launch in January-March 2026 period; gets sportier changes inside and out compared to the regular model
Volkswagen has officially confirmed that a premium SUV for the Indian market, the all-new Tayron R-Line, has its launch scheduled for the first quarter of 2026. Positioned above the Tiguan R-Line, the Tayron will become Volkswagen’s entry into the upmarket three-row SUV space and it will sit at the top of the range.
It will be offered exclusively in a seven-seat configuration. Globally, the Tayron made its debut in late 2024 and is essentially the three-row derivative of the latest generation Tiguan. In several overseas markets, the Tayron has replaced the Tiguan Allspace. For India, the Tayron will be a more practical and upscale evolution of the Tiguan.
One of the Tayron’s standout attributes is its size. Measuring 4,770 mm in length, it is significantly longer than the standard European-spec Tiguan and sits just over 100 mm shorter than the flagship Touareg. The wheelbase has been stretched to 2,791 mm with noticeably improved second- and third-row space.
The extended rear section also allows for a usable boot capacity of 345 litres with all three rows in place which expands to 885 litres when the third row is folded. Design-wise, the Tayron follows Volkswagen’s latest SUV styling cues and closely mirrors the China-spec Tayron L. Up front, it features sleek LED headlamps with integrated DRLs.
Other exterior highlights are a wide and imposing grille, muscular bonnet creases, large alloy wheels and slim LED tail lamps connected by a full-width light bar. The R-Line variant further enhances visual appeal with sportier bumpers and distinctive detailing. Internationally, it is equipped with a large 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system and a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster.
The equipment list comprises three-zone automatic climate control, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, Harman Kardon premium audio, ambient lighting and a comprehensive suite of advanced driver assistance systems. The Tayron R-Line is likely to be powered by the familiar 2.0-litre TSI turbo petrol engine producing 204 hp and 320 Nm of torque.
It is paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. Select variants may also feature Volkswagen’s 4MOTION all-wheel-drive system. The SUV will be brought to India as a CKD (completely knocked down) unit and assembled locally at Volkswagen’s Maharashtra facility.
