  1. Volkswagen Replaces ID.4 With ID. Tiguan Electric SUV

    Volkswagen has officially retired the ID.4 crossover, introducing the new ID. Tiguan as its direct electric SUV replacement. The vehicle made its world premiere following teasers in late September. To clear out remaining inventory of the outgoing model, Volkswagen is offering discounts of up to $12,500 on unsold ID.4 stock featuring an interface the company has already disowned. The newly unveiled ID. Tiguan brings major upgrades, including a digital cockpit capable of mimicking instrument displays from older Volkswagen models.

    Why it matters

    The ID.4 debuted in 2021 as one of Volkswagen's primary electric vehicles following the dieselgate scandal, with local production beginning in Chattanooga, Tennessee, a year later. The introduction of the ID. Tiguan effectively phases out both the ID.4 and ID.5 lines. This shift signals a branding pivot for the automaker as it applies a well-known bestseller nameplate to its electric vehicle lineup.

    What is confirmed

    • Volkswagen has officially revealed the new ID. Tiguan to replace the ID.4 and ID.5 electric SUVs.
    • Volkswagen is offering up to $12,500 off remaining ID.4 inventory.
