Volkswagen ID. Tiguan exterior
The ID. Tiguan is underpinned by the MEB+ platform and gets the brand's 'Pure Positive' design language. Additionally, 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 5. LED headlamps, connected LED 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 gets boot space and frunk space of up to 534 litres and 32 litres, respectively.
