  "account": "Volkswagen has announced the launch of its new electric crossover, the ID. Tiguan, which will replace the ID.4 and ID.5. This new model is essentially a facelift version of the ID.4, having undergone a refresh two years ago. The ID. Tiguan will not be sold in South Africa. Stylistically, the ID. Tiguan features a new front bumper, LED headlights, a restyled grille, and illuminated Volkswagen logo. The dimensions of the ID. Tiguan remain the same as the ID.4, with a length of 4,585 mm, a wheelbase of 2,766 mm, a height of 1,640 mm, and a width of 1,852 mm. It can tow up to 2,000 kg and offers 532 litres of boot space. Inside, the ID. Tiguan boasts an updated interior with a new dashboard, steering wheel, physical buttons, and an audio system volume knob. Buyers can also choose from a range of features including electric, heated, and ventilated front seats with massage and memory functions, a panoramic sunroof, and a Harman Kardon sound system. The ID. Tiguan is available in four trim levels: Trend, Life, Style, and R Line, and will be priced starting at €42,695 in Germany.",
  "summary": "ID. Tiguan, unsurprisingly, is unlikely to be offered in South Africa anytime soon.",
