The new Volkswagen ID. Tiguan electric SUV will make its global debut in early October 2026 before entering international markets in early 2027.
The electric SUV will succeed the ID.4 and ID.5, while the existing petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid Tiguan will continue to be sold.
Volkswagen will unveil the ID. Tiguan electric SUV globally in early October. The production-ready model is scheduled to enter global markets in early 2027 and will become part of Volkswagen’s electric SUV line-up.
The ID. Tiguan will succeed the ID.4 and ID.5 in Volkswagen’s electric SUV range, while the conventional Tiguan will continue to be offered with petrol, diesel and plug-in hybrid powertrains.
New Design for the Electric Tiguan
Volkswagen says the ID. Tiguan will feature a completely new design. The company has also indicated that the electric SUV will be positioned in a higher segment than the current ID.4 and ID.5.
The model is currently being tested with camouflage, so the complete production-specification design has not yet been revealed. Volkswagen's latest official images show a near-production version of the SUV ahead of its market launch.
The ID. Tiguan is the latest Volkswagen model to use an established name for an electric vehicle, following the ID. Polo and ID. Cross.
