Volkswagen replaces ID.4 with all-electric Tiguan

大众汽车以纯电版 Tiguan 取代 ID.4

In a widely expected move, Volkswagen announced Monday that it will replace the recently retired ID.4 crossover with the upcoming ID.Tiguan. The decision is an acknowledgment by the German automaker that its more recognizable nameplates like Tiguan are likely an easier sell with consumers, especially when it comes to EVs.

在一项广受预期的举措中，大众汽车周一宣布，将以即将推出的 ID.Tiguan 取代近期停产的 ID.4 跨界车。这一决定表明，这家德国汽车制造商意识到，像 Tiguan 这样更具辨识度的车型名称在消费者中更容易销售，尤其是在电动汽车领域。

When it lands in Europe in early 2027, the ID. Tiguan will join the ID.Polo and ID.Cross to round out Volkswagen’s new-and-improved electric lineup. VW also confirmed that the ID.Tiguan will come to the US, where the ID.4 was previously manufactured, “at a later date.” Design details remain under wraps, as the ID.Tiguan is being kept under camouflage for now.

ID.Tiguan 将于 2027 年初登陆欧洲市场，届时它将与 ID.Polo 和 ID.Cross 一起，完善大众汽车全新升级的电动产品阵容。大众汽车还确认，ID.Tiguan 将在“晚些时候”进入此前生产 ID.4 的美国市场。目前该车型的设计细节仍处于保密状态，测试车仍处于伪装测试阶段。

First introduced in 2020, the ID.4 was intended to be VW’s push into mass-market EVs. But rather than go up against big sellers like Tesla’s Model Y, the automaker wanted to compete with high volume gas vehicles like the Toyota RAV4 and Honda CR-V. While it never fully dethroned those rivals, the ID.4 did have some success, selling 950,000 units since 2021. VW says it ranks “among the most successful battery-electric vehicle model series of Volkswagen AG.” VW ended production of the ID.4 at its Chattanooga factory in April 2026.

ID.4 于 2020 年首次推出，旨在推动大众进入大众市场电动汽车领域。但大众汽车并未选择与特斯拉 Model Y 等畅销车型正面竞争，而是希望与丰田 RAV4 和本田 CR-V 等高销量的燃油车一较高下。虽然它从未完全取代这些竞争对手，但 ID.4 确实取得了一定的成功，自 2021 年以来已售出 95 万辆。大众汽车表示，它是“大众汽车集团最成功的纯电动车型系列之一”。大众汽车已于 2026 年 4 月在其查塔努加工厂停止了 ID.4 的生产。

The electric Tiguan will retain much of what worked about the ID.4, while correcting some of its shortcomings, such as its frustrating lack of physical controls. VW plans on giving the ID.Tiguan the same interior look as its ID.3 NEO and ID.Polo, the latter of which is a surprise sales hit in the EU. That means we can expect buttons for all four windows, rather than just two, as well as physical controls for both the volume and climate settings. VW’s Android Automotive-based operating system will also be featured — which means we’ll probably see a Gemini-powered voice assistant.

纯电版 Tiguan 将保留 ID.4 的大部分成功设计，同时纠正其一些缺点，例如令人沮丧的物理按键缺失问题。大众计划为 ID.Tiguan 采用与 ID.3 NEO 和 ID.Polo 相同的内饰风格，其中 ID.Polo 在欧盟市场表现出了令人惊喜的销量。这意味着我们可以期待四个车窗都配备独立按键（而非仅有两个），以及用于音量和空调设置的物理控制装置。大众基于 Android Automotive 的操作系统也将被采用，这意味着我们可能会看到由 Gemini 驱动的语音助手。

Volkswagen didn’t say whether the ID.Tiguan will get the new Rivian-developed software and zonal architecture that is expected to make its debut on the low-cost ID.Every1 hatchback.

大众汽车并未透露 ID.Tiguan 是否会搭载由 Rivian 开发的全新软件和区域架构，该架构预计将率先应用于低成本的 ID.Every1 两厢车上。
