Reports trace the move to a union briefing, with the change still unconfirmed by Volkswagen.

Overview

  • The updated crossover is reported to adopt a comprehensive facelift that restores physical buttons and revamps the infotainment interface.
  • Exterior changes are expected to align the EV more closely with the combustion Tiguan, including conventional pull-type door handles seen in spy images.
  • Production is expected to continue at existing ID.4 plants serving their regions, including Germany, the United States, and China.
  • Coverage conflicts on timing, with some reports pointing to a 2026 debut and others describing it as a 2027 facelift.
  • Rumored technical tweaks include the possibility of new batteries such as LFP chemistry, while core MEB architecture is expected to carry over.
