Volkswagen has introduced the ID. Tiguan, a new all-electric SUV set to replace the ID.4 and ID.5 models in its lineup. This vehicle is built on the MEB+ platform, an updated version of the MEB platform used in the ID.4 and ID.5. The ID. Tiguan features a redesigned exterior with a more angular and robust appearance, diverging from the rounded shapes of its predecessors. The front of the vehicle includes a horizontal translucent LED strip called "the aquarium," which houses the illuminated Volkswagen logo and headlights.
The ID. Tiguan has a drag coefficient (Cx) of 0.26, slightly better than the ID.4's 0.27, which helps improve energy efficiency. The SUV measures 4.61 meters in length, 1.86 meters in width, and 1.62 meters in height, with a 2.76-meter wheelbase. It includes protruding door handles and a redesigned rear with a large 3D light strip. Inside, the ID. Tiguan has a completely redesigned interior with improved materials, such as foam leather and recycled fabrics.
A notable feature is the addition of a third 12-inch touchscreen for the passenger, which includes a privacy filter to prevent the driver from viewing the screen. The vehicle also includes a 10-inch instrument cluster, a 15-inch infotainment screen, and an optional augmented reality head-up display. The ID. Tiguan includes a "Retro" mode that mimics the displays of Volkswagen's past models, such as the Golf IV and Beetle. It is available in three powertrain configurations, with ranges up to 450 km, 600 km, and 560 km on the WLTP cycle.
The ID. Tiguan will be produced at Volkswagen's Emden plant in Germany and is expected to be available in early 2027, with orders opening on October 13, 2026. The starting price is expected to be around 43,990 euros, which is 1,990 euros more than the ID.4. The ID.5 model will be discontinued as part of Volkswagen's strategy to streamline its product lineup. The ID. Tiguan will coexist with the traditional and hybrid versions of the Tiguan until market conditions change. It will be available in several trim levels, including Trend, Life, Style, and R-Line.
