  • Additionally, a three-row version of the Tayron SUV is being developed to cater to the growing demand for larger family vehicles in India.

These moves indicate Volkswagen’s commitment to expanding its footprint in the Indian SUV market, even if the new T-Roc itself may not be immediately available.
