On the outside, the Tayron R-Line follows Volkswagen’s latest SUV design direction. It features illuminated front and rear light signatures, a wide stance, and a long wheelbase of 2,789 mm. The SUV will be offered with 19-inch Coventry alloy wheels. Volkswagen states that the proportions and design elements are aimed at establishing the Tayron as its flagship offering in India.

On the inside, the Tayron R-Line gets a cabin layout focused on space and digital interfaces. The company states that the dashboard adopts a horizontal design to emphasise width, while a floating 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system which is angled towards the driver, serves as the primary control interface.
