2027 Volkswagen ID. Tiguan: Up to 295 hp, 600 km WLTP, From EUR 42,695

Volkswagen unveiled the ID. Tiguan on 9 October 2026, and it is the first all-electric Tiguan. The mid-size BEV SUV is built on the MEB+ platform at the Emden plant and replaces both the ID.4 and the ID.5, of which more than 950,000 units have been built. It is offered with three drive systems: a 140 kW (190 PS, about 187 hp) rear-wheel-drive car with a 58 kWh battery, a 210 kW (286 PS, about 282 hp) rear-wheel-drive car with a 77 kWh battery, and a 220 kW (299 PS, about 295 hp) 4MOTION all-wheel-drive version, also with 77 kWh. Volkswagen claims a WLTP range of up to 600 km, a design that it says looks like a car from the next segment up, and an interior that brings physical buttons back. Pre-sales start on 13 October 2026 in Germany and many other European countries from €42,695, with the car arriving at the beginning of 2027 alongside the petrol, diesel and hybrid Tiguan.

Performance & Specs

Volkswagen's own press release lists three performance levels and does not print acceleration, top speed or torque, so those figures here come from the hands-on reports of heise, electrive.net and Il Sole 24 Ore, which agree with each other. The 140 kW (190 PS, about 187 hp) rear-drive base car is reported at 0-100 km/h in 8.5 seconds with a 160 km/h top speed, and heise gives its motor as the APP350 with 350 Nm. The 210 kW (286 PS, about 282 hp) rear-drive car with the larger battery is reported at 6.6 seconds and 180 km/h, and the 220 kW (299 PS, about 295 hp) 4MOTION is reported at 6.3 seconds and 180 km/h. (PS is the metric horsepower, about 1.4 percent smaller than the imperial hp used here, so 299 PS is about 295 hp.) The 299 figure that circulated in early reports is therefore PS, not hp.

The same pairing of batteries and motors appears in the Skoda Enyaq, which shares the MEB+ platform. Heise reports a 400 V system voltage, and the one-pedal driving mode is standard on every ID. Tiguan, with strong deceleration from the accelerator pedal alone. The long-range numbers differ by version and are not officially split: Volkswagen says only that the WLTP range reaches up to 600 km depending on power and battery size. Electrive.net, Il Sole 24 Ore and heise all attribute roughly 450 km to the 58 kWh car, up to 600 km to the 210 kW 77 kWh car and up to 560 km to the 4MOTION, and the figures are provisional until homologation. Volkswagen publishes official combined consumption for all three versions in its release footnotes: 16.3 to 14.9 kWh/100 km for the 140 kW car, 16.2 to 14.6 kWh/100 km for the 210 kW car and 17.2 to 15.7 kWh/100 km for the 220 kW 4MOTION, and it notes that the up to 600 km applies to the most range-favourable equipment variant.

Wheelbase	2.77 m (rounded)
Boot	Up to 534 L, plus 32 L frunk

Volkswagen's release gives no exterior dimensions, so the size comes from the premiere coverage: electrive.net and Il Sole 24 Ore both quote about 4.62 m in length, 1.86 m in width, 1.62 m in height and a 2.77 m wheelbase, and Drive in Australia puts the wheelbase at 2,765 mm. Drive also reports that the ID. Tiguan is 33 mm longer than the ID.4 it replaces and 21 mm lower. Volkswagen does confirm room for five people, a luggage compartment of up to 534 litres and a new 32-litre frunk, which Il Sole 24 Ore says is meant for the charging cable and small items. Il Sole 24 Ore also gives 1,577 litres with the load area filled to the roof, a single-source figure. Braked towing is up to 1,800 kg with the 58 kWh battery and up to 2,000 kg with the 77 kWh battery, and heise reports a 90 kg nose load and a 75 kg roof load.

Charging & Battery

Volkswagen confirms the two battery sizes, 58 kWh and 77 kWh, but its release does not name the chemistry, the net or gross capacity, or the charging speeds. Heise and Il Sole 24 Ore identify the 58 kWh pack as LFP (lithium iron phosphate) and the 77 kWh pack as NMC, and Il Sole 24 Ore lists both capacities as net. The sister Skoda Enyaq 60 uses a 61 kWh gross, 58 kWh net LFP pack, so the VW's 58 kWh is almost certainly the same unit, but Volkswagen has not said so. Electrive.net, Il Sole 24 Ore and heise give DC charging of up to 105 kW for the 58 kWh car with 10-80% in about 26 minutes, and up to 165 kW with about 29 minutes for the 77 kWh versions, with AC charging of 11 kW on every version. Heise puts the average charging power of the 77 kWh versions at about 111 kW.

A sanity check on the efficiency figures is reassuring. If the reported 560 km of the 4MOTION is its best case, 77 kWh net implies about 13.8 kWh/100 km at the battery, and Volkswagen's official best consumption of 15.7 kWh/100 km for the 4MOTION is about 14 percent higher, which is a normal size of charging loss. The ID. Tiguan also supports vehicle-to-load through a plug-in PowerSocket adapter, and electrive.net lists vehicle-to-home and vehicle-to-grid as supported.

BATTERY	58 kWh LFP (140 kW); 77 kWh NMC (210 kW and 220 kW); net, as reported
AC CHARGING	11 kW (all versions, as reported)
DC FAST CHARGING	105 kW (58 kWh); 165 kW (77 kWh), as reported
DC 10-80% TIME	About 26 min (58 kWh); about 29 min (77 kWh), as reported

Design & Interior

Volkswagen calls the style its Pure Positive design language and says the softer crossover shape of the ID.4 and ID.5 has given way to a more upright, powerful SUV with tightly sculpted surfaces. The press photos show a full-width LED light bar across the nose with the VW logo in the centre, a squared-off front bumper with slim air intakes, and a rear with illuminated light strips and an illuminated VW logo. Volkswagen also returns to classic pull-style door handles, which Electrek notes replace the flush handles of the ID.4. Inside, the company promises a leap in material quality, elegant lighting effects and an atmosphere it likens to the next segment up.

The most talked-about change is the return of physical controls. A button bar in the centre console now handles the basic climate functions, the interior door openers are reshaped, the four power windows get a redesigned driver-side panel, and volume and track changes are made mainly with a controller in the centre console. The multifunction steering wheel has physical buttons instead of touch controls, and two Qi2 wireless charging pads at the front use magnetic rings to hold the phone in place. A new Retro mode, switched on with the View button on the steering wheel, turns the Digital Cockpit into blue-red Golf IV style instruments, with the rev counter replaced by a power display. The infotainment screen has its own Retro view with a virtual garage of six models: Golf I, Golf II Country, Golf IV, Tiguan I, Race Touareg and Beetle.

Technology & Features

The display landscape is built from a 10-inch Digital Cockpit, a 15-inch centre screen and, for the first time in a European Volkswagen, a 12-inch co-driver display. A privacy mode hides the passenger screen from the driver, similar to a laptop privacy filter, and lets the passenger listen over paired Bluetooth headphones. Connected Travel Assist is new and adds assisted lane changes on motorways, traffic light recognition and automatic stops at red lights, and one-pedal driving is standard. The optional equipment list includes electrically adjustable front seats with massage, memory and ventilation, a 480 W Harman Kardon sound system and a panoramic sunroof. The Digital Key lets the owner share access to the car by text message, messenger or email through the Volkswagen app. Equipment is sold in four versions, Trend, Life, Style and R-Line; Il Sole 24 Ore reports that the 190 PS car comes in Trend, Life and Style, that the 286 PS car comes in Life and Style and is standard on R-Line, and that wheels range from 19 to 21 inches.

Safety & ADAS

Volkswagen's premiere release names the driver-assistance highlights but not a full list of safety equipment, and no Euro NCAP rating exists yet because the car is not on sale. The new Connected Travel Assist is the headline system, with assisted lane changes on motorways and automatic stopping at red lights. Volkswagen does not state an SAE automation level, and the assistance content will be confirmed by the German price list and the equipment lines when pre-sales open on 13 October 2026.

ADAS LEVEL	Not stated by Volkswagen (driver assistance, not self-driving)
ADAS FEATURES	Connected Travel Assist (assisted lane change, traffic light recognition, stop at red lights), one-pedal driving (standard)

Pricing & Availability

Volkswagen's world-premiere release dated 9 October 2026 says pre-sales start on 13 October in Germany and many other European countries at prices from €42,695, and that the car launches at the beginning of 2027. The release does not say whether the price includes VAT, which version it belongs to, or give prices for individual versions, so the price should be read as a lowest list price for Germany that will be broken out when the price list is published. Electrive.net compares it with €40,580 for the current ID.4, and Il Sole 24 Ore speaks of list prices from around €45,000, which conflicts with Volkswagen's figure and is not used here. The car is built in Emden, not Wolfsburg, where the combustion Tiguan is made. In North America, Electrek reports that Volkswagen said the ID. Tiguan will replace the ID.4 there with prices and details announced in due course, but Volkswagen's own release names no US launch date or price. No launch has been announced for Israel as of October 2026.

How It Compares

The closest relative is the Skoda Enyaq, which sits on the same MEB+ platform and carries the same 190 PS, 286 PS and 299 PS power levels and batteries. The Enyaq 85, at 282 hp and up to 581 km WLTP, costs €50,990 in Germany, so the Volkswagen's entry price of €42,695 sits below even the Enyaq 60 at €43,490, although Volkswagen has not yet said which version that price buys. The Hyundai Ioniq 5 Centriq with the 84 kWh battery offers 226 hp and up to 570 km at €53,800, and Hyundai is ahead on charging, quoting up to 260 kW against the Volkswagen's 165 kW. The Peugeot E-3008 Long Range reaches 701 km WLTP with its 96.9 kWh battery for €46,990 in France, a clear lead on range, but with 228 hp it is the weakest of the group on power. The rival prices are German or French list prices from each maker's own data, and the Volkswagen's price is the only one in the group that is not yet broken out by version.
