Volkswagen has revealed the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line in India-bound specification ahead of its planned launch in Q1 2026. The Tayron R-Line will serve as Volkswagen's new flagship SUV for the Indian market, replacing the Tiguan Allspace in the brand's line-up.
The Volkswagen Tayron R-Line is built on the MQB EVO platform and is configured as a three-row, seven-seat SUV. It measures significantly larger than the Tiguan, with a wheelbase of 2,789mm, which is 109mm longer than the Tiguan R-Line. The increased wheelbase is intended to improve second- and third-row passenger space.
In terms of safety, the Tayron R-Line has achieved a five-star Euro NCAP rating, reflecting its structural integrity and safety equipment offered in global markets.

The Tayron R-Line features sport-specific exterior elements, including aggressive R-Line bumpers, R-Line badging, and large 19-inch alloy wheels. Lighting duties are handled by IQ.LIGHT HD Matrix LED headlamps, paired with a full-width LED light signature at the front and rear. The SUV adopts a wide stance with pronounced shoulder lines and a sculpted rear profile to differentiate it from smaller Volkswagen SUVs.
