The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan Looks Like A Big Upgrade Over The ID.4

Goodbye, ID.4. Volkswagen is replacing its compact EV crossover with this, the ID. Tiguan. It’s about the same size as the old car, but with a more familiar name and some big changes that should make it a much better electric vehicle.

The ID.4 first went on sale in 2021. It was known for being a spacious EV and a good value, especially since at one point it was made in the U.S. and qualified for the EV tax credit. But over its run, people also complained about some key features, like the car’s software and some elements of the driving experience.

Earlier this year, VW announced that it was stopping production of the EV in the U.S. in favor of gas vehicles, leaving it without a mainstream electric offering in this market. Now the ID. Tiguan is on the way to succeed the ID.4 (and the ID.5 in markets where that's sold). And it looks like Volkswagen has taken some of the criticism to heart.

For starters, the ID. Tiguan has an upgraded infotainment and software stack. There are up to three screens now, including one directly in front of the passenger for apps and entertainment. The driver’s display and center screen are bigger and can be switched to a special “retro” mode that has stylized virtual gauge clusters from old Volkswagen models from the past. It’s the same system we’ve seen on the new ID. Polo.

Oh, and Volkswagen highlights that there are many more actual buttons now.
