Volkswagen has unveiled the India-spec Volkswagen Tayron R-Line SUV ahead of its official debut in the market. This launch marks the company's significant re-entry into the three-row SUV segment following the 2021 discontinuation of the Tiguan Allspace. Positioned as a premium offering, the upcoming SUV will sit above the Tiguan R-Line in the brand's local portfolio. To ensure a competitive Volkswagen Tayron price in India, which is expected to range between Rs 45 lakh and Rs 50 lakh, the vehicle will be brought in as a Completely Knocked Down (CKD) unit. Here is everything we know about the VW Tayron 7-seater SUV and its Volkswagen Tayron India launch date.
