- Volkswagen is set to launch the Tayron, a premium three-row SUV, in India to replace the Tiguan Allspace. Recently spotted testing, the facelifted model is expected to offer advanced features and a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, competing with models like the Toyota Fortuner and MG Gloster.
Volkswagen is gearing up to expand its SUV lineup in India with the upcoming Tayron, a premium three-row SUV that will eventually replace the Tiguan Allspace in the company’s portfolio. The Tayron was recently caught testing on Indian roads, hinting at an impending launch. The test mule was not camouflaged but only the rear of the SUV was visible.
Originally sold in the Chinese market since 2019, the Tayron is now undergoing a major overhaul for global markets. The version spied in India is likely the facelifted model that was recently showcased in concept form overseas. Once launched, it will take over from the Tiguan Allspace, which was phased out due to low demand and the brand’s shift in strategy towards newer models with broader appeal.
From the images, the Tayron appears to carry a robust design, with a wider stance and more pronounced SUV proportions compared to the outgoing Allspace. The front-end styling is expected to feature a larger grille flanked by sleek LED headlamps, while the rear is likely to get updated LED tail-lights and a more sculpted tailgate. The SUV will be underpinned by the familiar MQB platform, which also supports models like the Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Inside, the Tayron is expected to offer a more premium experience with improved material quality, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and advanced driver-assistance features. It will most likely be offered as a 7-seater, catering to families seeking both space and sophistication.

Under the hood, Volkswagen is expected to equip the Tayron with a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine, paired with a 7-speed DSG automatic transmission. An all-wheel-drive system may be offered on higher variants to enhance its versatility.
Once launched, the Tayron will rival other 3-row premium SUVs in India like the Toyota Fortuner, MG Gloster, and Skoda Kodiaq. With its global debut slated for later this year, Indian customers can expect a launch sometime in 2025.
