Volkswagen ID. Tiguan Electric SUV Debuts with 600 Km Claimed Range

Volkswagen has officially unveiled the ID. Tiguan, a new all-electric SUV designed to serve as the direct successor to the current ID.4 and ID.5 models. As part of the manufacturer's updated electrification strategy, the vehicle adopts a more traditional SUV silhouette, moving away from the crossover-style aesthetics of its predecessors. While the ID. Tiguan marks a significant shift toward electrification, the company has confirmed that the existing internal combustion engine-powered Tiguan will remain available with its current petrol, diesel, and hybrid powertrain options.

The new model is built upon the MEB+ platform and incorporates Volkswagen’s 'Pure Positive' design language. The exterior features a closed-off front grille, sharp body lines, and illuminated branding at both the front and rear. Practicality is a focus for the new design, which offers a 534-litre boot capacity supplemented by an additional 32-litre front trunk. Pre-sales for the European market are scheduled to begin on October 13th.

The interior also features a raised centre console, a two-spoke steering wheel, and ambient lighting. Depending on the selected trim level; which includes Trend, Life, Style, and R-Line—the vehicle can be equipped with powered seats featuring massage and ventilation functions, a 480-watt Harman Kardon audio system, a panoramic sunroof, and vehicle-to-load (V2L) capabilities.

The powertrain lineup offers flexibility through two battery capacity options: 58 kWh and 77 kWh. The 58 kWh battery is paired with a 140 kW (190PS) rear-mounted electric motor. The larger 77 kWh battery is available in both rear-wheel drive and 4MOTION all-wheel drive configurations, delivering 210 kW (286PS) and 220 kW (299PS) respectively.
