India Bound Volkswagen Tayron Snapped Testing
This is the first time that the Volkswagen Tayron has been spotted testing in India. The Tayron establishes Volkswagen's comeback 3-row premium SUV segment.

The Volkswagen Tayron has now been spotted testing in India, and the spy shots reveal much about the exterior and the design of the SUV. The Volkswagen Tayron borrows a lot of features from the brand's recently launched Tiguan R Line. The front fascia of the 3-row SUV is spotted with sleek LED headlights, a black grille cover, and a mesh pattern air dam. The rear part of the SUV has a sleeker LED light setup and has a different signature light than the Tiguan R-Line. Volkswagen Tayron has been spotted testing in India If we talk about the differences between the Volkswagen Tiguan and Tayron, then the Tayron is quite bigger than the Tiguan R-Line. The 3-row SUV has a wheelbase measuring 2791mm, whereas the wheelbase of the Tiguan R-Line has a 2681 mm wheelbase. Also, the test mule has 19-inch alloy wheels. Not much has been revealed about the interior of the Volkswagen Tayron yet. However, it is likely to retain most of the features from the R-Line. It will get a 15-inch infotainment touchscreen, a 10.25-inch all-digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof and more. Talking about the powertrain, the Volkswagen Tayron is likely to borrow its power unit from the Tiguan R-Line i.e. a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that is capable of delivering 204hp and 320 Nm of torque. The engine will work in conjunction with a 7-speed gearbox distributing power to all the wheels. Though, both the cars will feature the same engine, the acceleration of the Tayron might make a difference because of its increased size and weight.
