Volkswagen unveils electric ID. Tiguan to replace ID. 4 and ID. 5

Volkswagen has unveiled the ID. Tiguan, a new all-electric SUV designed to replace the ID. 4 and ID. 5 models. Scheduled for market entry in early 2027, the vehicle will be produced in Emden, Germany, and will coexist with the internal combustion Tiguan lineup.

Built on the MEB+ platform, the ID. Tiguan offers three powertrain configurations. The entry-level rear-wheel-drive model features a 58 kWh battery with approximately 450 km of range. Higher-tier variants utilize a 77 kWh battery, providing up to 600 km of range (WLTP), with power outputs ranging from 190 hp to 299 hp in the 4MOTION all-wheel-drive version. The SUV also supports a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg.

The redesign follows the ‘Pure Positive’ language, featuring a more robust, angular silhouette and traditional pull-style door handles. The interior emphasizes a mix of modern technology and tactile usability, reintroducing physical buttons for climate and steering controls. Notable digital features include a 15-inch central touchscreen, a 10-inch driver display, and an optional 12-inch passenger screen equipped with a privacy mode. One unique software feature is a ‘Retro’ mode for the digital cockpit, which can emulate the classic blue and red instrument displays of the Golf IV.
