The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan is expected to debut later this year, bringing much more than just a new look and name.
Volkswagen announced in April that it would end production of the ID.4 at its Chattanooga, Tennessee plant. Instead, the company is shifting focus to more popular gas-powered SUVs like the three-row Atlas.
The electric SUV remains on sale as VW prepares to introduce its replacement. The company previously said it had enough supply of current ID.4 models to “support customer demand into 2027,” when VW’s next electric SUV is set to go on sale.
We got our first look at the ID. Tiguan, as it will be called, earlier this year after it was spotted during cold-weather testing, revealing an entirely new look.
Following the ID. Polo and ID. Cross, the ID.4 is next in line for an overhaul. The electric SUV will be rebranded as the ID. Tiguan, taking on the best-selling nameplate as part of Volkswagen’s move away from the previous number system.

With its official debut expected by the end of 2026, the ID. Tiguan was captured again with barely any disguise.
New spy images from CocheSpias confirm that the upcoming electric SUV will not only bear the Tiguan name but also closely resemble it.
Compared to the current ID. 4, the ID. Tiguan features a more traditional SUV-like shape with a squared-off front end. It’s also shown with new headlights and a redesigned hood, more like the Tiguan.
