Volkswagen Previews New Electric SUV Set to Replace ID.4 and ID.5

Volkswagen is getting ready to unveil its next-generation electric SUV, and it appears the company is preparing a significant shift in its lineup. The upcoming model, positioned as an electric Tiguan, will take over from the ID.4 and ID.5 as the brand’s core compact electric SUV offering.

The move signals more than a simple rebranding. By adopting the Tiguan name for its electric SUV, Volkswagen appears to be leaning on a familiar badge that already carries recognition among buyers. The ID.4 and ID.5 helped establish the brand’s electric presence, but the new model is expected to bring a broader set of changes beyond just its name.

Volkswagen has been steadily reshaping its EV strategy as competition in the electric SUV segment intensifies. The electric Tiguan is set to play a central role in that effort, giving the automaker a fresh entry in one of the market’s most contested categories. Further details, including timing and specifications, have not yet been confirmed.
