Volkswagen Replaces ID.4 With New ID. Tiguan Electric Crossover
Volkswagen announced the ID. Tiguan, an electric crossover on the updated MEB+ platform with up to 373 miles of WLTP range. It replaces the ID.4.
Volkswagen has announced the ID. Tiguan, a new electric crossover that replaces the ID.4 in its lineup. The company confirmed the model on October 1, 2026.
The ID. Tiguan is built on an updated version of Volkswagen's MEB+ electric vehicle platform. Buyers can choose between a 58 kWh battery pack or a 77 kWh pack.
The smaller battery is offered only with a 187 hp rear electric motor. The 77 kWh pack is available with either a 281 hp rear-wheel drive powertrain or a 295 hp all-wheel drive setup.
Volkswagen states a range of up to 373 miles (600 km) on the European WLTP test cycle. The ID. Tiguan also introduces the company's new design language, called Pure Positive, according to Ars Technica.
A model with a long history
The ID.4 debuted in 2021 as one of Volkswagen's first new electric vehicles designed after dieselgate. In 2022, Volkswagen began local production of the ID.4 in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and a couple of years ago the model received a facelift with a much-improved rear drive unit. Earlier this year, the Chattanooga plant turned its attention away from the ID.4. Volkswagen has sold almost a million ID.4s and near-identical ID.5s globally.
