The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan now has a price in Spain: range of 454 to 605 km of driving range
Volkswagen is preparing a major change to its range of electric cars. The German brand has introduced a new ID. Tiguan that revives one of its most recognizable names and features a more robust design, an updated interior, and greater attention to detail. It is a model aimed at strengthening its position in an increasingly competitive segment, where European brands face rivals offering lower prices and more comprehensive equipment.
The new Volkswagen ID. Tiguan will arrive on the market in early 2027 and replace the current ID.4 and ID.5 models, two vehicles that have together seen production of over 950,000 units. The company aims to combine the popularity of the conventional Tiguan with the experience gained from its electric lineup in a single vehicle. Production will take place in Emden, while the Tiguan models with internal combustion engines and hybrids will continue to be produced in Wolfsburg.
The new model comes with a thorough refresh, both on the outside and inside. Volkswagen aims to address some of the criticisms faced by its recent electric models regarding ergonomics and perceived quality, offering a design that reintroduces physical controls alongside an unprecedented screen layout for the brand in Europe. Pre-orders in Spain are set for October 13, though first deliveries will not arrive until 2027.
Up to 605 kilometers of range and a four-wheel-drive version
The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan will be available in three mechanical configurations, two with rear-wheel drive and one with all-wheel drive 4MOTION. The range will offer two battery capacities and different power levels, including an entry-level version for those who prioritize price, as well as other options that provide greater range or better performance.
The base model is equipped with a 140 kW (190 hp) engine and uses a 58 kWh LFP battery. Volkswagen claims a combined range of up to 454 kilometers on the WLTP cycle. Above that is the rear-wheel drive version with a 210 kW (286 hp) engine and a 77 kWh NCM battery, which delivers 605 kilometers on the WLTP cycle.
The third option features two engines and all-wheel drive. With 220 kW (299 hp) and the same 77 kWh battery, the ID. Tiguan 4MOTION achieves a WLTP range of up to 564 kilometers. The brand has not yet disclosed all the performance details, so we will have to wait to learn about its acceleration times and other metrics that allow comparing the three versions under equivalent conditions.
Towing capacity will also be one of its strengths. Volkswagen claims a towing capacity of up to 1,800 kg for the version with a 58 kWh battery, and up to 2,000 kg for those equipped with the 77 kWh battery. This is complemented by a rear trunk space of up to 534 liters and a small front compartment of 32 liters, providing a practical solution for storing charging cables or small items without taking up space in the main trunk.
A more refined interior with more physical buttons
The interior represents one of the most significant changes compared to the previous ID.4 and ID.5 models. Volkswagen claims to have improved the quality of materials and the overall design, aiming to create a feel closer to that of higher-end models. Ambient lighting along with the combination of trims and colors will also play a key role in this new aesthetic.
The main technological innovation is the option to equip a 12-inch screen for the passenger, in addition to the 10-inch digital dashboard and the 15-inch central screen. The front passenger can access information, entertainment, and gaming content without distracting the driver, thanks to a privacy filter that prevents the driver from seeing what appears on the screen. They can also listen to audio through paired Bluetooth headphones.
The multimedia system also features a curious function with a classic vibe. When the new Retro screens are activated, the dashboard adopts the aesthetic of Volkswagen Golf IV’s instruments, featuring a traditional speedometer and a power indicator that replaces the tachometer. The central screen will also allow display of various historical models from the brand, including the Golf I and II Country, Golf IV, the first Tiguan, Race Touareg, and Beetle.
Beyond the screens, Volkswagen has revised the controls for daily use. The climate control now features physical buttons on the center console, while the multifunction steering wheel replaces touch controls with conventional buttons. Adjusting volume and selecting stations or songs can be done using a controller on the console or directly from the steering wheel. These changes address one of drivers’ common requests: the ability to use the most frequently used functions without constantly navigating through digital menus.
The front section will also feature two Qi2-compatible wireless charging points, equipped with magnetic rings to keep compatible phones in place. The setup can be enhanced with electric, heated, ventilated front seats with massage functions, along with memory settings. Options include a 480-watt Harman Kardon sound system and a panoramic roof.
Four finishes and an even more comprehensive tech package
The Spanish range will be structured into four finish levels: Match, Life, Style, and R-Line. The latter will arrive in the first quarter of 2027, while the Match, Life, and Style versions will constitute the initial offering. The differences won’t be limited to appearance, as there will also be significant changes in comfort features, lighting, and driving assistance systems.
The Match trim will be the entry-level version of the range and will include 19-inch wheels, ambient lighting in ten colors, LED headlights and indicators, a two-zone climate control system, a rear camera, and front and rear parking sensors. It will also feature adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, surround view monitoring, high-beam assist, a driving mode selector, and 10-inch and 15-inch digital screens. The brand also announces connectivity with apps, over-the-air updates, and reverse charging.
The Life adds features such as full exterior painting with contrasting wheel arches, tinted windows, illuminated door handles, and an electric rear gate. It also includes keyless access and start, an alarm system, a three-zone climate control, and heated front seats. In terms of technology, it features the Innovision Pro navigation system, ID. Light interactive lighting, wireless mobile charging, and digital key readiness.
At the top tier is the Style version, which features 20-inch wheels, IQ.Light matrix headlights, three-dimensional rear lights with a illuminated strip between them, along with an illuminated Volkswagen logo. The interior comes with contrast-stitched trims, seats upholstered in ArtVelours, and ambient lighting in up to 30 colors. It also includes a heated and acoustic front windshield as well as advanced lighting functions.
Assistance technologies are also gaining prominence. The ID. Tiguan will come standard with single-pedal driving, which allows adjusting deceleration using the accelerator, while the Connected Travel Assist system can assist with lane changes on highways and recognize red traffic lights to stop the car when conditions permit. These features are subject to operating conditions and system availability in each market.
Another practical solution is the digital key, which will allow opening, closing, and starting the vehicle with a compatible phone. Access can be shared with other people through the Volkswagen app. Additionally, the PowerSocket adapter for the Vehicle-to-Load function will enable using battery power to power external electrical devices, from small appliances to entertainment equipment.
At the moment, we don’t know the price in Spain, although the brand has provided a figure including financing options, Plan Auto+, and CAES incentives. The price is 32,400 euros for the ID. Tiguan Match with a 58 kWh battery. But in Germany, Volkswagen has listed a price before any discounts or promotions at 42,695 euros. This represents a significant difference from the price in Spain.
This means that models with 77 kWh batteries will cost well over 40,000 euros, likely around 46,560 euros, which is the current price range for the ID.4 Pro.
