The best-selling Volkswagen Tiguan, now also electric: up to 605 km of range and confirmed launch price
Volkswagen has unveiled the ID. Tiguan, a new electric SUV set to arrive in early 2027 to replace the current Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 models, of which over 950,000 units have already been produced. It will come in versions with 190, 286, and 299 horsepower, 58 and 77 kWh batteries, and a WLTP range of up to 605 kilometers. In Spain, pre-orders will begin on October 13, and the promotional price has already been confirmed.
The choice of name is not arbitrary. Volkswagen aims to combine two of its most significant commercial success stories: the Volkswagen Tiguan is its best-selling model globally, while the Volkswagen ID.4 and Volkswagen ID.5 are among its most successful electric vehicles.
The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan will coexist with the regular Tiguan models available in gasoline, diesel, and hybrid versions, so it does not replace the traditional model but rather the two current electric SUVs.
Three versions and up to 605 kilometers WLTP
The range starts with a version featuring 140 kW (190 hp), rear-wheel drive, and a 58 kWh battery, capable of achieving up to 454 kilometers in mixed WLTP conditions.
Above that is the 210 kW (286 hp) variant with a 77 kWh battery, also rear-wheel driven, which offers up to 605 kilometers WLTP range. The third option uses 4MOTION all-wheel drive, delivers 220 kW (299 hp), and provides up to 564 kilometers range with the same 77 kWh battery.
Depending on the version, it can tow between 1,800 and 2,000 kilograms. It also includes a 32-liter frunk (front trunk) and a rear trunk with a capacity of up to 534 liters.
Volkswagen brings back physical buttons
The interior undergoes particularly significant changes. The driver is equipped with a 10-inch digital dashboard and a 15-inch central screen. Additionally, Volkswagen will offer, for the first time in Europe, a 12-inch screen dedicated to the passenger, complete with a privacy system that prevents the driver from seeing certain contents.
But perhaps one of the most striking decisions is actually a less technological one: physical buttons are returning.
Volkswagen reinstates conventional controls for important functions such as climate control, uses a physical knob for volume, and replaces the touch controls on the steering wheel with traditional buttons.
New “Retro” graphic modes are also available, capable of recreating the blue and red instruments from the Volkswagen Golf IV on the digital display and showing designs inspired by historic models like the Golf I, Golf II Country, Tiguan I, Race Touareg, or Beetle.
It can power electrical devices using its battery
Among its new features is also two-way charging. Volkswagen also offers a PowerSocket adapter with Vehicle-to-Load technology that allows using the car’s battery to power external devices, from electric bikes to small gadgets.
Additional features include one-pedal driving, a digital key, remote updates, and an improved version of Connected Travel Assist that can assist with lane changes and stop the vehicle at red lights within its operational limits.
Starting at 32,400 euros, but with conditions
The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan will initially arrive in Spain in the Match, Life, and Style trims, while the R-Line is expected in the first quarter of 2027.
The 58 kWh Match version is priced at 32,400 euros, though this amount requires financing through Volkswagen Financial Services and includes brand discounts, Plan Auto+, and a CAES bonus.
More than just a replacement for the Volkswagen ID.4, the Volkswagen ID. Tiguan shows where the brand aims to take its next generation of electric vehicles: greater range and technology, while still retaining traditional elements such as physical buttons and one of its most recognizable names in its lineup.
