Spy shots have revealed Volkswagen is putting the finishing touches on a next-generation Tiguan with combustion engines and likely a plug-in hybrid setup. However, the compact crossover will also spawn a fully electric version as German newspaper Handelsblatt has learned from a company spokesperson an EV likely to be called ID. Tiguan is coming. The two models will only share the name and not much else since they’ll utilize different platforms.
While the third-gen Tiguan will use an evolution of the omnipresent MQB platform, its fully electric counterpart will ride on the VW Group's upcoming MEB-Plus architecture. The model is scheduled to go into production in 2026 and is going to be assembled at home in Wolfsburg. It'll have roughly the same size as the ICE-powered Tiguan but likely a more spacious interior thanks to the dedicated EV underpinnings that maximize wheelbase and shorten overhangs.
