The Volkswagen ID.4, as we know it, is dead, and Volkswagen is officially announcing its replacement. Meet the new-and-improved ID. Tiguan.

The new ID. Tiguan will succeed the ID.4 and the European-market ID.5, bringing a more traditional SUV design, a redesigned interior, and up to 373 miles (600 kilometers) of WLTP range in Europe.

The electric SUV will launch in Germany and other European markets in early 2027, while the gasoline-, diesel-, and hybrid-powered Tiguan will continue alongside it.

Volkswagen is moving away from the softer crossover shape of the ID.4 and ID.5 with the ID. Tiguan. The new model gets a more upright, muscular look with sharper body lines and sculpted sheet metal. The company is even bringing back classic pull-style exterior door handles—praise be.

Inside, there’s even more to look at. Volkswagen says it has focused heavily on material quality and intuitive controls, addressing some of the complaints surrounding its earlier ID models, including those annoying touch-capacitive controls.

The ID. Tiguan gets physical controls for important functions, including the air conditioning, while the multifunction steering wheel also uses physical buttons instead of touch-sensitive controls. An illuminated controller in the center console handles audio volume and track or station selection.

The ID. Tiguan will launch with three different powertrain options in Europe, but it’s unclear if all three options will make it to the US:

Volkswagen says the ID. Tiguan will offer up to 373 miles (600 km) of WLTP range, depending on the configuration. 0-kWh versions can tow up to 4,409 pounds (2,000 kg).
