Intro

The Volkswagen Tayron 2025 is the new three-row SUV confirmed for India. Positioned above the Tiguan, it will be locally assembled via CKD kits to remain competitive in the hotly contested 7-seater segment. With testing already underway in Maharashtra, a launch is expected in late 2025 or early 2026.” This version is more direct and immediately establishes the key facts.

What is the Volkswagen Tayron?

Combine the two paragraphs into a single, cohesive one. For example: “The Tayron is the global successor to the Tiguan Allspace and is built on the same MQB Evo platform as the new Skoda Kodiaq. It will come to India in a three-row, seven-seat configuration. With a length of 4,735mm and a wheelbase of 2,791mm, it is significantly larger than the two-row Tiguan, allowing for the additional seating and positioning it as a dedicated family SUV.

Inside: tech and space

Inside, the cabin is modern and minimalist. Highlights include a large 12.9-inch touchscreen (with an optional 15-inch screen on higher trims) and a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro. For safety, it’s expected to feature a full suite of up to nine airbags and Level 2 ADAS (Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems) features on top variants, including adaptive cruise control and lane centring. The seven-seater layout aims to balance third-row space with everyday practicality, a key selling point as per early reviews.

Engine and performance

For India, it’s the 2.0-litre TSI (150 kW/204 PS) with 7-speed DSG and AWD, same as the Kodiaq and offers a good balance of performance and efficiency for highway use. Globally, the Tayron range has mild-hybrid petrol, multiple 2.0 TDI tunes and PHEV variants with up to ~100 km EV-only range, so VW can draw upon that as regulations evolve.

Expected price and launch date in India

The Tayron’s official launch date is expected in late 2025 or early 2026, with local assembly at the Aurangabad plant via CKD kits to control costs and supply. Estimates suggest a competitive starting price between ₹40 lakh and ₹50 lakh (ex-showroom), placing it directly against its sibling, the Skoda Kodiaq.

Tayron vs the competition

Competition includes Skoda Kodiaq, Toyota Fortuner and Jeep Meridian, Tayron will bank on its dynamics, cabin tech and 2.0 TSI-DSG to make its case against ladder-frame rivals. Early market specs and Australian trims show generous standard equipment across variants, so value at launch.

Closing note

If pricing lands in line with CKD expectations, Tayron’s mix of space, strong 2.0 TSI-DSG, and modern ADAS could give VW a credible re-entry into India’s premium three-row SUV segment – right where family buyers want refinement without full-size bulk.
