Volkswagen Tayron Life 5-Seater Launched In India, Rs 5 Lakh More Affordable Than The Tayron R-Line

Here’s everything you need to know about the new VW SUV:

Design

• The Tayron features Volkswagen’s latest design language, which looks cleaner and more understated than that of the sportier Tayron R-Line.

• Its fascia is characterised by sleek LED headlights that are connected by a full-width LED light bar running up to the illuminated ‘VW’ logo in the centre. The bumper gets a wide air dam with horizontal slats, lending the SUV a bold yet elegant look.

• When viewed from the sides, the regular Tayron gets a long, upright silhouette with pronounced shoulder lines, squared wheel arches, roof rails, and subtle body cladding.
