Volkswagen renames its electric crossover ID. Tiguan, retiring the ID.4

Volkswagen has discontinued the ID.4 and ID.5 nameplates in favor of the ID. Tiguan, a new electric crossover built on an updated MEB+ platform. The model offers 58 kWh or 77 kWh battery options, with power ranging from 187 hp to 295 hp in all-wheel-drive form, and a claimed WLTP range of up to 373 miles. VW CEO Thomas Schäfer said the renaming merges the Tiguan brand's sales success with the ID. line's electric momentum.

Volkswagen retires ID.4, will sell electric Tiguan in its place

Volkswagen confirmed it is discontinuing the ID.4 crossover and replacing it with an all-electric ID.Tiguan, which launches in Europe in early 2027 and will reach the US at an unspecified later date. The ID.4, which sold roughly 950,000 units since 2021, ended production at VW's Chattanooga plant in April 2026, and the new model will join the ID.Polo and ID.Cross in VW's electric lineup.
