2026 Volkswagen Tayron R-Line Launched In India, Priced At Rs 46.99 Lakh
The Tayron R-Line gets a single turbo-petrol powertrain under its hood
After multiple teasers and its unveiling, the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line SUV has now been launched in India. The full-size 7-seater offering from the German marque is available in a single fully loaded variant that costs Rs 46.99 lakh (introductory ex-showroom pan-India). It is essentially the 3-row version of the Tiguan R-Line that’s already on sale in our market. Here’s everything you need to know:
Exterior
-
The SUV’s fascia sports dual-pod LED projector headlamps that are connected by a slim LED strip. Below the LED strip, you would also notice a small black applique that features the ‘R’ logo to highlight its sporty R-Line character. Volkswagen has given the SUV a wide air dam located in its tall bumper and it comes with a diamond-shaped pattern.
-
The Tayron R-Line does not get front fog lamps but has been provided with a cornering function for the LED projector headlamps. A silver skid plate rounds off the front profile’s design.
| Interesting Detail: The ‘VW’ logo located in the centre of the black applique is illuminated that blends well with the overall lighting theme at night. |
- It’s from the side that you would notice the increased stance of the Tayron R-Line over the Tiguan R-Line, thanks to its improved overall length and the longer wheelbase.
-
Other key details include 19-inch dual-tone alloy wheels, a contrasting silver-finished strip running around the window panels, and silver-finished roof rails.
| What You May Miss: There’s also the ‘R’ logo positioned right below the ORVMs on both the front doors. |
- The Tayron R-Line is provided with a full-width LED light bar connecting the wraparound LED tail lamps.
-
It also sports the ‘Tayron’ badge right below the Volkswagen logo on the tailgate and has a tall bumper sporting the same diamond-shaped pattern as the front air dam.
| Interesting Detail: As seen on the front profile, the ‘VW’ logo at the back features illumination as well to make the lighting elements stand out more at night. |
Interior
-
Its cabin will straightaway remind you of all the new-age Volkswagen offerings that are on sale in the international markets. It looks premium and minimalistic, and flaunts a dual-tone dark black and grey theme. Volkswagen offers it with a dual-display setup and a 3-spoke steering wheel.
-
The SUV is available in a 3-row, 7-seater layout option in India, making it a more suitable choice over the Tiguan R-Line for larger families.
-
Volkswagen has made generous use of soft-touch materials for the dashboard and brushed-silver finishes all around the cabin to add to the overall premiumness quotient.
-
The Tayron R-Line comes with sliding and reclining second row of seats for added practicality.
-
There’s also a multi-function knob on the centre console to change drive modes and volume.
-
The Volkswagen Tayron R-Line is available in seven colourways, all of which we have covered in a detailed story.
| What You May Miss: The seats feature contrasting blue stitching to complement the dark black upholstery and also get perforation for the ventilation function. The Tayron R-Line also features a gloss black finished trim on the co-driver side of the dashboard that – along with the door pads – sports elements as part of the ambient lighting setup to stand out at night. |
