- Removed from Volkswagen India’s website
- Locally assembled Tayron offered with five- and seven-seat layout
Volkswagen India has delisted the Tiguan R-Line. The SUV was launched in April 2025 as a CBU import, has been removed from the brand’s website. Volkswagen has not made a public announcement yet. The Tiguan R-Line was never a high-selling model for the brand, and its last listed price was Rs. 47.11 lakh (ex-showroom).
The Tayron R-Line, which came after it, made the Tiguan’s case harder to argue. The Tayron is locally assembled and priced very close to the Tiguan, with its range topping out at Rs. 47.74 lakh. It is also a bigger SUV and offers a three-row seating layout, which the Tiguan never did. Volkswagen has recently made the Tayron more accessible still. The brand launched the five-seater Tayron Life at Rs. 41.99 lakh, ex-showroom, which is more affordable than the car the Tiguan R-Line was priced against.
The Tiguan R-Line used a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine that makes 201bhp and 320Nm, paired with a seven-speed DSG gearbox and all-wheel drive. The Tayron uses the same engine and drivetrain. Equipment on the Tiguan included a 15-inch touchscreen, a 10.25-inch digital driver’s display, three-zone climate control, a panoramic sunroof, nine airbags, and Level 2 ADAS. That said, it missed out on powered and ventilated front seats.
With the Tiguan gone, Volkswagen’s SUV line-up in India is down to two models. The Taigun is the mass-market SUV and the Tayron takes over as the brand’s premium SUV, with a price range of Rs. 42 lakh to Rs. 47.74 lakh, ex-showroom.
