Volkswagen will start taking orders for the ID. Tiguan on October 13, pricing the electric SUV that replaces the ID.4 and ID.5 from 42,695 euros ($47,800) in Germany, the company said on Friday as it unveiled the model.
Pre-sales will open in Germany and many other European countries, and the SUV will reach markets at the beginning of 2027.
It will be built at Volkswagen’s Emden plant and sold alongside the existing Tiguan with petrol, diesel and hybrid powertrains, which is made in Wolfsburg.
“The Tiguan is our best-selling model worldwide, and the ID.4 and ID.5 are among our most successful electric cars,” said Thomas Schäfer, Chief Executive Officer of the Volkswagen brand. “The ID. Tiguan brings these two success stories together.”
More than 950,000 ID.4 and ID.5 vehicles have been built, according to Volkswagen.
Up to 600 Kilometers
The ID. Tiguan uses MEB+, an updated version of Volkswagen’s electric platform, and comes in three versions.
A 140 kW (190 PS) rear-wheel-drive model has a 58 kWh battery, while a 210 kW (286 PS) rear-wheel-drive model and a 220 kW (299 PS) all-wheel-drive 4MOTION model share a 77 kWh battery.
Volkswagen gives a maximum WLTP range of up to 600 kilometers for the line-up, without a figure for each version.
Combined consumption ranges from 14.6 to 17.2 kWh per 100 kilometers across the three versions, according to the company.
Towing capacity is 1,800 kilograms with the smaller battery and 2,000 kilograms with the larger one.
The SUV seats five and has a 32-litre front trunk and up to 534 litres of luggage space.
It will be offered in Trend, Life, Style and R-Line trims.
Volkswagen did not release dimensions, charging speeds or acceleration times, and did not say which version the starting price applies to.
Buttons and a Passenger Screen
Volkswagen said important functions “can therefore be accessed using physical buttons again” in the ID. Tiguan.
Basic climate controls move to a button bar in the center console, the steering wheel has physical buttons instead of touch controls, and volume and track changes are handled mainly through a controller in the console.
The cockpit has a 10-inch driver display and a 15-inch central screen.
An optional 12-inch display for the front passenger is the first in a European Volkswagen, and a privacy mode keeps it out of the driver’s view, the company said.
A “Retro” mode recreates the blue and red instruments of the Golf IV in the driver display, with a power gauge in place of the rev counter.
The central screen can show one of six classic models, from the Golf I to the original Tiguan, in a “virtual garage.”
One-pedal driving is standard.
Options include Connected Travel Assist, which can make assisted lane changes on motorways and stop the car at red traffic lights, front seats with massage and ventilation, a 480-watt Harman Kardon sound system and a panoramic sunroof.
Two Qi2-standard wireless charging pads hold phones in place with magnets, and a Digital Key lets owners unlock and start the car with a smartphone and share access through the Volkswagen app.
A PowerSocket adapter that plugs into the charging port can power external devices such as e-bikes.
On the outside, Volkswagen has replaced the softer crossover shape of the ID.4 with what it calls a “powerful SUV design” and brought back pull-style door handles.
EV Sales Under Pressure
The ID. Tiguan takes over as the Volkswagen brand’s electric sales are falling.
The brand delivered about 4.73 million vehicles in 2025, down 1.4%, and about 382,000 of them were fully electric, roughly flat on the year at 8.1% of the total, Volkswagen said in January.
Its electric deliveries in Europe rose 49.1% to about 247,900 last year, and those in Germany 60.7% to 93,800.
SUVs made up 50.2% of the brand’s 2025 deliveries.
The Emden-built ID.7 more than doubled its European deliveries to 76,600 last year, the company said.
In the first half of 2026, Volkswagen Passenger Cars delivered 2,067,500 vehicles, down 10.9%, while its electric deliveries fell 28.2% to 138,300, according to group figures.
The ID.4 and ID.5 made up 53,700 of those electric deliveries, the brand’s largest share, down from 84,900 a year earlier.
Group-wide, electric deliveries fell 47.9% in China and 68.8% in the US in the first half, while Volkswagen said its order book for electric vehicles in Europe had risen by more than 50% since the end of 2025.
The combustion and hybrid Tiguan is Volkswagen’s best-selling model, with more than 8.3 million produced, and it and its sister model, the Tayron, exceeded one million deliveries last year, the company said when it announced the name on September 28.
The ID.5, the coupé-styled version of the ID.4, will get no direct successor.
Volkswagen did not mention the US, where it ended ID.4 production in Chattanooga in April and is offering $12,500 off remaining 2025 models.
Emden also builds the ID.7, and Volkswagen has been moving output toward electric models as demand in Germany rises.
All equipment and pricing details refer to the German market, Volkswagen said.
