Volkswagen Reveals Tayron R-Line as New 7-Seater SUV in India

Volkswagen has revealed the India-spec Tayron R-Line, a seven-seater SUV positioned above the Tiguan R-Line. Its price will be announced closer to its India launch, expected in mid-to-late 2026. Industry estimates however suggest it to be priced between Rs 35 lakh and Rs 45 lakh (ex-showroom). 

The model brings the brand back into the three-row SUV segment after the Tiguan Allspace was discontinued. This is also the first of five Volkswagen models planned to be introduced in India.

Volkswagen Tayron R-Line Launch Date

The given price range makes the model more expensive than the Hyundai Alcazar and MG Gloster. But, it’s still lower than the top trims of the Toyota Fortuner and Jeep Meridian. Volkswagen plans to leverage the Tayron’s European build, smooth ride, and safety features to appeal to India’s premium SUV buyers. As of now though, no official announcement has been made regarding the exact launch date or confirmed pricing.
