"The ID.4, which is built in Chattanooga, Tennessee, for the U.S. market, will be known as the ID. Tiguan when the revised model debuts in 2026, as the German company is moving away from numbers for its battery-powered models. The move was confirmed by the German IG Metall labor union during a press conference at the automaker's Emden factory, according to Automotive News. VW's Emden factory assembles the ID.4 for the European market."
"But it's not just the name that changeswhen the new electric crossover debuts, it will come with a revamped interior with more buttons and a user interface that's easier to understand and use. The ID. Polo's interior has proper buttons for the electric windows and climate control system, as well as a traditional dial to control the audio volume. By contrast, the ID.4 has some pretty annoying capacitive buttons under the main touchscreen, as well as a set of frustrating capacitive sliders."
Volkswagen will rename the U.S.-built ID.4 to ID. Tiguan and debut the revised model in 2026 after a major facelift. The company is shifting away from numeric ID names toward names shared with its gasoline models, following the ID. Polo renaming. U.S. ID.4 production continues in Chattanooga, Tennessee, while European assembly occurs at Emden. The updated crossover will feature a redesigned interior with more physical buttons, a clearer user interface, and revised controls to replace frustrating capacitive buttons and sliders. The ID. Tiguan is slated to remain in European production through 2031.
