Volkswagen’s ID. Tiguan Replaces the ID.4 and ID.5 — From €42,695, Up to 600 km

Volkswagen unveiled the ID. Tiguan in Wolfsburg on October 9, 2026, the brand’s best-selling name going electric on the updated MEB+ platform. The new SUV succeeds both the ID.4 and ID.5, of which more than 950,000 have been built, and it will go on sale in Europe in early 2027, with German pre-sales from October 13 at €42,695. It will be offered in four trims — Trend, Life, Style and R-Line — and it will not replace the conventional Tiguan, which continues with petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains.

The specifications are a step up from the ID.4 it replaces. Three drive levels are offered — 140 kW, 210 kW and 220 kW, or 190, 286 and 299 PS — with 58 kWh and 77 kWh battery options and a maximum WLTP range of up to 600 km (about 372 miles), which Volkswagen calls a new benchmark for its electric SUVs in Europe. The current U.S.-spec ID.4, by comparison, uses an 82 kWh battery with an EPA-estimated range of up to 291 miles in rear-wheel-drive form. Volkswagen also highlights one-pedal driving, a feature not available in the U.S.-spec ID.4.

The U.S. story is still unwritten. Volkswagen has confirmed the ID. Tiguan will replace the ID.4 in North America, but has not announced U.S. pricing or a launch timeline, saying details will follow in due course. German media report production will begin in November 2026 at Volkswagen’s Emden plant, which will build the vehicle exclusively, and WardsAuto reported in September that the company plans to import the ID. Tiguan to the U.S. from Emden after ending ID.4 production in Chattanooga, Tennessee, in mid-April 2026. For American buyers, that makes the ID. Tiguan an import story as much as an electric one.
