    The Tayron R-Line is about to make a robust entry within the SUV section. The outside looks sharp and sporty, however maneuvering within the metropolis might be a bit tricky. In real-world driving, I personally expect the suspension and handling to maintain VW’s standard. And yes, the R-Line branding comes with sporty interiors and connected tech as well.

    Volkswagen’s new sub-4-metre SUV will target India’s compact SUV craze. The small footprint will be city-friendly, but the feature list is surprisingly premium. A dealer once gave me a sneak peek and said straight up rear seat is a bit tight but the front cabin feels spacious and modern.

     

    3. Volkswagen Virtus Facelift

    The Virtus facelift is fairly subtle, but there will be some feature improvements. Engine tuning and gearbox updates look optimized for both city and highway driving. A hybrid option is also being discussed, but the real-world mileage might be slightly overhyped. Speaking from personal experience, previous-generation hybrids delivered only about 15–16 km/l in city conditions.

    The ID Polo will be VW’s first attempt in the compact EV segment. It could be perfect for city EV enthusiasts, but charging infrastructure and battery performance in real-world conditions may pose a challenge. Global reviews are promising, but adoption and service support in India will need careful consideration.

     

    5. Volkswagen Taigun Facelift

    The Taigun facelift retains familiar exterior lines but comes with updated interiors and features. Handling feels balanced on city potholes and highways alike. A personal anecdote comes to mind last year a dealer mentioned during a test drive some people may find the rear seat cramped and that turned out to be true. But overall, design and tech-wise, it remains an attractive option for city SUV buyers.
