Volkswagen has confirmed that the ID. Tiguan will replace its current ID.4 and ID.5 electric SUV models starting in 2027. The new vehicle will continue to use the MEB platform while featuring a redesigned exterior and updated technology.
The transition to the ID. Tiguan nameplate signals a shift in Volkswagen's electric vehicle strategy, moving away from the distinct 'ID' branding toward leveraging the established equity of its combustion-engine model names. This move suggests an attempt to simplify consumer recognition as the brand scales its electric lineup.
