Volkswagen unveils the ID. Tiguan as the successor to the ID.4

Volkswagen has officially retired the ID.4 electric crossover, marking the end of a model that served as a cornerstone of the company's post-dieselgate electrification strategy. After selling nearly a million units globally, VW is replacing the ID.4 with the new ID. Tiguan. By adopting the name of its best-selling internal combustion vehicle, Volkswagen aims to bridge its traditional market success with its electric future. The new model is built on the updated MEB+ platform and offers two battery options: 58 kWh and 77 kWh. Performance specifications include rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations, with power outputs ranging from 187 hp to 295 hp. According to European WLTP testing, the vehicle achieves a maximum range of 373 miles (600 km). This transition reflects VW's continued commitment to leveraging flexible architectures to maintain its competitive edge in the rapidly evolving global electric vehicle market.
