In February 2026, Volkswagen made a big move. They introduced the Tayron R-Line in India. And honestly, it’s their biggest 7-seater yet. This SUV sits above the Tiguan R-Line. Basically, it’s VW’s new flagship. Unlike the old Tiguan Allspace, the Tayron comes CKD meaning it’s assembled here in India. That should keep the price somewhat reasonable. Oh, and it’s built on the MQB Evo platform same as the Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq. So yes, it’s got pedigree.

Design and Interior
Walk around it. Look at it. Feels classy, doesn’t it? The Tayron R-Line’s design is timeless, almost like it will never age. Inside, it’s roomy, practical, and premium. High-quality materials. Lots of storage. And the tech wow. You’ve got Harman Kardon 11-speaker system, panoramic sunroof, hands-free tailgate, 360-degree camera. Fancy stuff.
The front seats? Comfortable. Synchronised. You know, like they move with you. Third row? Kids only. And yes, some might dislike the all-black interiors. Too dark. Also, most controls live on the touchscreen. Some knobs would’ve been nice. Little things, but they matter when you’re driving every day.
Power and Performance
Pop the hood. That’s a 2.0L turbo-petrol engine paired with a 7-speed DSG. Smooth. Quick. AWD included. You can take it anywhere. City streets, highways, even some rough paths. Tayron R-Line performance? Solid. High-speed stability feels reassuring.
Driving it feels easy. Comfort? Check. Ventilated and massaging seats? Double check. Head-up display? Yep. Fuel efficiency? Well don’t ask in the city. It drops fast if you drive with a bit of fun. And those 19-inch wheels? Firm ride at low speeds. But hey, that’s the trade-off for style and handling.
Safety and Technology
Safety first. Always. Tayron R-Line has 5-star NCAP safety rating, 9 airbags, Level 2 ADAS. Tons of electronic aids. Basically, you’re covered. Kids. Family. Weekend trips. All good.
Advanced features? Auto parking. Driving modes. Heated steering. But not everything’s perfect. Blind-spot monitoring? Missing. Rear cross-traffic alert? Nope. Still, it feels confident. Like, you trust it on a highway run.
Price and Availability
Here’s the thing. Tayron R-Line comes in a single variant. Prices? Expected in March 2026. CKD assembly in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar should help. Hopefully, it’s not sky-high. Boot space? 850 litres. Third row folded? Even bigger.
Tayron R-Line India could set the standard for premium 7-seaters. VW’s flagship isn’t just about luxury. It’s about usable space, tech, comfort. And yes, it looks damn good while doing it.
