Pros & Cons
Pros
Strong electric performance with instant acceleration and quick 0-100 km/h times
Premium and minimalist cabin with high-quality materials and modern design
Loaded with features like ADAS, 360-degree camera, panoramic sunroof and Harman Kardon audio
Impressive safety package with multiple airbags and advanced driver assistance systems
Fast charging capability (10-80% in around 28 minutes) adds practicality for daily use
The 2.0 TSI turbo petrol engine is a hoot to drive. Powerful and torquey!
Tayron offers a very feature rich cabin - large screens, ADAS suite, premium audio!
We love the styling with R-Line treatment and great 19-inch alloy wheels
Pricing is good - only Rs 1 lakh over the smaller 5-seater Tiguan.
The 19-inch wheels do not rob the car of a decent ride. Plus great high speed manners
This is one of the safest cars in the segment and offers Level 2 ADAS and 9 airbags
Cons
Rear seat space feels slightly tight for taller passengers
Touch-heavy interface reduces ease of use compared to physical controls
Real-world range can drop significantly with spirited driving
The last row is strictly for kids and short adults (under 5’4”)
The TSI engine is known to deliver under 6-7 km/l in congested urban usage
Only one version on offer - VW can further reduce pricing with a less loaded model
No diesel or hybrid on offer - VW was once known for diesel units, not any more though
Though AWD is on offer, this is not an SUV meant for off-roading
