Volkswagen ID. Tiguan EV: Design

The Volkswagen ID. Tiguan gets a more conventional SUV design compared with the crossover-like shape of the ID.4 and ID.5. It follows Volkswagen’s new “Pure Positive” design language with a strong front-end appearance and clean body lines.

The front features sleek LED headlights, connected daytime running lights and an illuminated Volkswagen logo integrated into a black panel. The bumper also gets air curtains and a lower air intake.

From the side, the SUV gets black wheel-arch cladding, aerodynamic alloy wheels and pull-type door handles. At the rear, wraparound LED tail-lamps connect across the tailgate and surround an illuminated Volkswagen badge. The SUV offers 534 litres of boot space and a 32-litre frunk.

Volkswagen ID. Tiguan EV: Powertrain

Volkswagen will offer the ID. Tiguan with two battery options: 58kWh and 77kWh. The entry-level version uses the smaller battery with a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 190hp. The 77kWh battery comes with either rear-wheel drive or 4MOTION all-wheel drive.

The RWD version develops 286hp, while the range-topping AWD version produces 299hp. Volkswagen claims a maximum WLTP range of up to 600km, although the exact range depends on the battery and drivetrain configuration.

The top AWD version can accelerate from 0-100kmph in around 6.3 seconds. The ID. Tiguan can also tow up to 2,000kg with the larger battery.

Volkswagen ID. Tiguan EV: Cabin

The ID. Tiguan gets a modern cabin with a layered dashboard and an all-black theme with silver accents. Volkswagen has focused on improving usability by bringing back physical buttons for important functions.

The dashboard features a 10-inch digital instrument display, a 15-inch central touchscreen and, on selected versions, a 12-inch passenger display. The SUV also offers powered front seats with memory, ventilation and massage functions, depending on the variant.

Other highlights include a panoramic sunroof, ambient lighting, wireless smartphone charging, connected-car technology, Harman Kardon audio and an ADAS package. Volkswagen will offer the electric SUV in Trend, Life, Style and R-Line trims.
