Earlier this year, car enthusiasts were treated to a glimpse of the upcoming Volkswagen Tayron through leaked images from China. Now, fresh spy shots emerging from China unveil the interior of this highly anticipated seven-seater SUV. Set to debut in China as the Tiguan L Pro before hitting Indian shores in 2025, the Tayron promises to be a game-changer in the SUV segment.
Tayron
Sharing its MQB EVO platform with the latest-generation Tiguan, the Tayron is poised to become the spiritual successor to the Tiguan AllSpace globally. Designed for both comfort and functionality, the Tayron boasts a sleek interior reminiscent of its Tiguan sibling.
With a dashboard featuring a minimalist design dominated by three screens – the main infotainment system, a digital instrument cluster, and a passenger-side display – Volkswagen ensures a seamless and futuristic driving experience.
Glimpse Inside
The interior of the Tayron exudes sophistication with its new-look AC vents, neatly arranged centre console, and luxurious soft-touch materials. Equipped with modern amenities such as a wireless charging pad, rotary drive selector, and ample storage space, the Tayron caters to the needs of today’s discerning drivers.
Despite the emphasis on digital interfaces, traditional controls like buttons and switches on the steering wheel offer a blend of classic and contemporary functionality.
Power
Built on Volkswagen’s MQB EVO platform, the Tayron promises a dynamic driving experience powered by a range of efficient powertrains. In the Chinese market, buyers can expect a 2.0-liter turbo-petrol engine with various power outputs, complemented by a 48V mild-hybrid setup and the option of 4WD or 2WD.
For those inclined towards eco-friendliness, Volkswagen offers two plug-in hybrid variants with an impressive electric-only range and fast-charging capabilities.
India-Bound
With its anticipated arrival in India slated for 2025, the Tayron aims to make a mark in the country’s burgeoning SUV market. Assembled locally via CKD kits, the Tayron will compete against formidable rivals such as the Jeep Meridian and Skoda Kodiaq, promising Indian consumers a blend of style, performance, and innovation.
Decision
The Volkswagen Tayron represents a significant leap forward in the realm of SUVs, offering cutting-edge technology, spacious interiors, and eco-friendly powertrains. As anticipation builds for its arrival in India, automotive enthusiasts can look forward to experiencing the future of driving firsthand.
