Volkswagen will end production of the ID.4 electric SUV at its Chattanooga, Tennessee, plant in mid‑April 2026 to free capacity for higher‑volume models, and the company says a future version of the ID.4 is planned for the North American market.
The manufacturing shift will make room for the 2027 Atlas, which Volkswagen recently unveiled, reflecting stronger demand for the Atlas after over 71,000 US sales compared with just over 22,000 ID.4 sales in 2025. Production of the current ID.4 will cease mid‑April 2026, though 2026 models will remain available on dealer lots through the end of the year.
CEO Thomas Schäfer said Volkswagen is considering revamping its naming strategy to favor more familiar names, prompting reports the next electric compact SUV might be called the ID. Tiguan. Volkswagen indicates the next ID.4 or ID. Tiguan is expected to ride on an updated MEB+ platform, which should improve efficiency and performance over the current MEB architecture.
