Volkswagen’s Popular SUV, Will Now Become Electric And Be Called The ID.Tiguan
Volkswagen is releasing an electric version of the popular SUV, the Tiguan, which will supposedly be called the ID.Tiguan. A few announcements have been made about a new electric model being built on the main platform in 2026. Rumors have circulated that it will be the same size and look as the popular Tiguan, and this new electric SUV will be based on Volkswagen’s MEB-Plus platform. Before the ID.Tiguan was announced, there were hints that Volkswagen had remade the ID.2 look and could be made into the ID.Golf. It’s been known to VW that consumers want the Golf, GTI, and Tiguan vehicles to become electric, and that is exactly what the Volkswagen brand intends to do.
2023 Volkswagen Tiguan
The new 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan receives some needed updates, including a few new color choices and a brand new design for the SE R-Line vehicles wheels. A vehicle similar to the Tiguan is the VW Taos, but it’s a bit smaller and less expensive. The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has four trim levels: S, SE, SE R-Line, and the SEL R-Line. The most popular trim level for the 2022 Tiguan is the R-Line, which is expected to be the same for the 2023 model.
Inside this compact crossover SUV is a third row of seats for front-wheel-drive vehicles. The starting price for the 2023 Tiguan is $26,950 (plus destination fee). For the car’s exterior look, the design is similar to its forerunners, including the thin grille that integrates into the headlamps. The R-Line car models have a sportier look, like the fender, LED headlights, and a lit-up grille.
The interior of the SUV is very stylish, with leather seats, seat stitching, and a digital instrument panel. There is also an 8.0-inch touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and multiple USB-C outlets. There is an 8.0-inch display screen for the instrument cluster on the lower-end models, but the digital instrument cluster is 10.3 inches on the higher-end models. Every Tiguan model comes with heated front seats, but only the power adjustment for the driver seats starts at the SE trim.
Another cool feature is that the ride for the Tiguan is very smooth and comfortable, with lots of room for passengers and storage. For the all-wheel drive, the second row has 38.7 inches of legroom and has large back doors for easy in and out access. The cargo space is around 38 cubic feet and expands to 73.4 cubic feet when the second row is folded down. The 2023 Volkswagen Tiguan has a 2.0-liter turbo-4 engine, 184 horsepower, 221 pound-feet of torque, and an 8-speed automatic transmission.
