VW ID. Tiguan enters series production

Just a few weeks after the unveiling of the VW ID. Tiguan, Volkswagen has now started series production of the electric SUV at its Emden plant. Although the vehicle will not be available at dealerships until early 2027, thousands of pre-orders have already been placed.

Volkswagen unveiled the new ID. Tiguan in early October. It replaces the electric SUV ID.4 and its coupé variant, the ID.5, although there will be no coupé version of the ID. Tiguan. With the new name VW ID. Tiguan, the group emphasises the model’s close relation to the combustion-engine bestseller Tiguan, which has sold more than eight million units to date.

The new VW ID. Tiguan offers drivetrains with up to 220 kW, enabling ranges of up to 600 km and towing capacities of up to two tonnes. However, the charging power has already drawn considerable criticism from electrive readers, as it is far from state-of-the-art: the smaller 58-kWh LFP battery only achieves 105 kW at a DC fast charger, while the larger 77-kWh NMC battery manages 165 kW. For more details, see our VW ID. Tiguan model preview.

Volkswagen has now launched series production of the ID. Tiguan – not at its main plant, where the “Gamechanger” project was recently scrapped, but in Emden as previously planned. The plant near the Dutch border has been producing only electric vehicles for around two years, most recently the ID.4, the ID.7, and the ID.7 Tourer, the estate version of the ID.7 saloon.
