The Volkswagen Tayron R-Line variant has been added to Malaysian showrooms.
Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM) has officially introduced the top-of-the-range Volkswagen Tayron R-Line, expanding its local SUV lineup with a performance-oriented, three-row seven-seater package.
Positioned between the Tiguan and Touareg, the locally assembled (CKD Pekan) Tayron R-Line combines 4MOTION all-wheel-drive capability with Volkswagen’s latest digital architecture and elevated cabin comfort.
The flagship R-Line variant joins the previously introduced Tayron Elegance (powered by a 1.5-liter eTSI mild-hybrid engine) to complete the Tayron range in Malaysia.
