The manufacturer did not disclose pricing for the new model, but the current ID.4 starts at 40,580 euros. The ID.Tiguan will feature an updated exterior design and an entirely new interior cockpit, including revised digital displays for the front passenger and improved safety and comfort features. Additionally, the manufacturer will install a rear-facing cargo area, or \"frunk,\" providing space for the charging cable. The ID.Tiguan will be available with rear or front-wheel drive in three power variants, offering 140 kW/190 PS, 210 kW/286 PS, or 220 kW/299 PS, capable of reaching speeds up to 160 or 180 km/h.",
