Pre-bookings start at ₹51,000 | Launch in February 2026 | Premium 7-seater with L2 ADAS and 23 standout features
Mumbai: 2026 has begun with a very German kind of enthusiasm — precise, powerful, and perfectly timed. Volkswagen India has officially opened pre-bookings for its upcoming flagship SUV, the Tayron R-Line, marking the brand’s entry into the premium 7-seater SUV space in India.
Customers can now reserve their Tayron R-Line with a pre-booking amount of ₹51,000, available across authorised Volkswagen dealerships and the brand’s digital platforms. The SUV is scheduled for its official India launch in February 2026, and judging by the spec sheet, Volkswagen clearly wants to start the year with a statement — not a whisper.
A New Chapter in Volkswagen’s India Story
With the Tayron R-Line, Volkswagen is set to expand its Indian portfolio into the fast-growing premium 7-seater segment, catering to buyers who want space for the whole family, tech for the whole future, and performance for themselves.
Positioned as the brand’s flagship SUV for India, the Tayron R-Line will be locally assembled, making it not just global in appeal, but also Indian in execution — a rare combination of German engineering and Indian practicality.
Fully-Loaded (And Then Some)
Volkswagen is calling the Tayron R-Line “fully loaded”, and for once, that’s not marketing poetry. The SUV packs 23 distinct features, many of which are class-leading, making it one of the most feature-rich offerings in its segment.
The highlight, however, is technology.
The Tayron R-Line comes equipped with 14 Level 2 ADAS features, putting it right at the top of the segment in terms of driver assistance and active safety. From adaptive cruise control and lane assist to emergency braking and blind-spot monitoring, the Tayron doesn’t just watch the road — it practically supervises it.
In short, it’s the kind of SUV where the car helps you drive better, while still letting you enjoy doing it.
Style Meets Substance (With a Hint of Sport)
Being an R-Line, the Tayron isn’t just about comfort and tech — it also brings sporty design cues and a more aggressive road presence. Expect dynamic styling, premium interiors, and the kind of cabin that feels more like a business lounge than a family car.
And yes, it’s a 7-seater, which means it’s equally ready for:
- School runs,
- Highway road trips,
- Airport transfers,
- And those once-a-year family vacations where everyone packs for three weeks.
What Volkswagen Has to Say
Commenting on the announcement, Nitin Kohli, Brand Director, Volkswagen India, said:
“We as India’s most loved, aspired-for German car brand are all set to introduce one of the most versatile, advanced and fun-to-drive luxury SUVs for our customers, to cater to all their lifestyle goals. With the premium 7-seater SUV market consisting of discerning buyers, it is crucial to have a product that offers both functionality along with style and substance.”
The Bigger Picture
The premium 7-seater SUV segment in India is heating up rapidly, driven by buyers upgrading from compact SUVs and luxury sedans alike. With the Tayron R-Line, Volkswagen is clearly aiming for customers who want:
- Luxury without excess flash,
- Technology without complexity,
- And performance without sacrificing comfort.
In other words, an SUV that can handle weekday traffic, weekend highways, and long-term ownership — all without breaking a sweat.
With pre-bookings now open, the Volkswagen Tayron R-Line has officially entered the Indian conversation. And if the specs are anything to go by, this isn’t just another SUV launch — it’s Volkswagen raising its hand and saying:
“Yes, we can do premium. And yes, we can seat seven while doing it.”
February 2026 can’t come soon enough.
