Volkswagen Tayron R Line Confirmed
The Tayron R-Line will be Volkswagen Indias new flagship SUV, sitting at the top of the brand's local portfolio. It will be a seven-seater SUV designed to cater to families seeking a premium, spacious vehicle with a strong road presence and global styling. As the name suggests, the Tayron will arrive in R-Line guise, which means a sportier design treatment compared to standard variants. Buyers can expect aggressive styling elements, unique R-Line badging, and a more dynamic visual identity that sets it apart from other Volkswagen SUVs on sale in India.
One of the key highlights of the announcement is that the Tayron R-Line will be locally assembled in India at Volkswagen's Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar plant. Local assembly should help Volkswagen price the SUV more competitively while also underlining the brand's long-term commitment to the Indian market.
Once launched, the Tayron R-Line will sit above the Taigun and Tiguan, becoming the most premium SUV offered by Volkswagen in India. It will join a growing portfolio that already includes models like the Virtus, Taigun, Tiguan R-Line, and the recently introduced Golf GTI. Speaking on the announcement, Nitin Kohli, Brand Director, Volkswagen India, said that the Tayron R-Line represents the brand's evolving vision for Indian customers, positioning it as a product that reflects global standards of design, comfort, and technology while aligning with local expectations.
