Volkswagen ID. Tiguan exterior

The ID. Tiguan is underpinned by the MEB+ platform and follows the brand’s ‘Pure Positive’ design language. The brand says it has given the ID. Tiguan a more SUV-like design as opposed to the crossover-esque look of the ID.4 and ID.5. LED headlamps, connected LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) and an illuminated logo are encased in a black trim. The sides of the front bumper come with air curtains and fog lamps lower down, while there’s a trapezoidal air intake and subtle black cladding below.

In profile, the ID. Tiguan gets a windowline with an upward kink, a black strip on the lower sides of the doors, pull-type door handles, aero-optimised alloy wheels, black wheel arches and a black strip on the C-pillar. The rear is characterised by wraparound LED tail-lamps with rectangular signatures connected to an illuminated VW badge, ID. Tiguan branding on the tailgate, and a dual-tone finish for the bumper with a diffuser-like effect. The ID. Tiguan offers a 534-litre boot space and a 32-litre frunk.

All-black theme, triple-screen setup, plus powered and ventilated front seats

Inside, the ID. Tiguan gets an all-black theme with silver accents. The layered dashboard is dominated by a triple-screen setup, which is surrounded partly by silver trim. You get physical buttons for HVAC controls, and the high-set centre console comes with cubbyholes. The steering wheel is a two-spoke unit with plenty of physical buttons, and behind it is a digital driver’s display with themes displaying dials from older VW models.

The Tiguan will be sold in four trim levels, namely, Trend, Life, Style and R-Line. Niceties include a 15-inch infotainment system, a 10-inch digital driver’s display, a 12-inch passenger screen, an ADAS suite, powered front seats with memory, massage and ventilation functions, a Harman Kardon sound system, a panoramic sunroof, a wireless phone charger, connected car tech, ambient lighting and vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality.
