Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 9 Oct, 12:25 · Archive

Volkswagen has renamed and comprehensively redesigned its ID.4 electric SUV as the ID.Tiguan, due in Australia in 2027.

Volkswagen has comprehensively redesigned its ID.4 electric SUV and renamed it the ID.Tiguan. The new model replaces both the ID.4 and ID.5, and is due in Australia during the first half of 2027.

The redesign goes beyond a facelift, with the car transitioning to Volkswagen's MEB+ platform to provide more technology, an improved driving experience and latest battery hardware. Every exterior panel is new. The car's appearance has shifted from the rounded, 'friendly' look of the ID.4 to a more upright SUV stance, with slimmer headlights that can be equipped with matrix LED technology. An illuminated light bar spans below the bonnet's leading edge, and the VW logo also lights up.

Designers have made practical improvements including pull-type door handles. The rear has been reshaped, with the C-pillar angling upwards towards the roof. The rear lights sit within a black panel spanning the tailgate. Volkswagen will introduce new colours, including Olive Bronze.
