Paris Motorshow 2026: The VW ID. Tiguan will succeed the VW ID.4
- At the time of its restyling , the Volkswagen ID4 will get a new name (ID Tiguan), while deepening the style evolutions compared to the recent facelift seen on the ID3 renamed ID3 Neo.
- The one that could have been called ID4 Neo will indeed try to get closer to the design of the Volkswagen Tiguan SUV, which will considerably change the appearance of the model.
- For its range of electric vehicles, the German carmaker is returning to its traditional names (ID Polo, ID Cross, ID Tiguan, ID Buzz) which rely on the reputation of the brand's thermal models rather than continuing the numerical names (ID3, ID4, ID5, ID6, ID7) which mean nothing in terms of reputation and which have also had mixed success with the public.
- This is how the ID.2 became the ID. Polo at launch, and the ID.2 X became the ID. Cross, thus recalling the Polo and T-Cross. The ID.1, still in development, could become the ID. Up or ID. Lupo.
- The future electric Volkswagen T-Roc will likely be called the ID. Roc, and the future electric Golf will probably be called the ID. Golf. The ID.7 remains a question mark, as it could become the ID. Passat in a future facelift . As for the ID.5, which has seen low demand, its future seems uncertain, unless Volkswagen develops a coupe version of the Tiguan, something that has never been attempted before , unlike what we've seen with Audi ( Sportback versions of the Q3, Q4, Q5, and Q6).
