Volkswagen Readies Electric Tiguan to Replace ID.4 and ID.5
The German automaker's upcoming electric SUV will inherit the traditional Tiguan nameplate as it succeeds two current generation models.
Volkswagen is preparing to unveil its next-generation electric SUV, which will carry the Tiguan designation and effectively consolidate the automaker's current electric SUV offerings. The move represents a shift in naming strategy, as the company transitions away from the ID-badged nomenclature for its evolving electric portfolio.
The upcoming electric Tiguan will assume the role currently held by two separate models in Volkswagen's lineup. By absorbing the market positions of the ID.4 and ID.5, the new electric Tiguan aims to streamline the brand's mid-size electric SUV segment while introducing design and technology enhancements beyond a simple name change.
