ID.7 is the flagship model in VW’s EV family
London, 14 November 2023, (Oilandgaspress) – Volkswagen is continuing to ramp up its electric transformation: Measuring more than 16 feet long and equipped with the best convenience features, the ID.7 is a Volkswagen positioned in the premium midsize sedan class. It offers a new drivetrain, long range, quick charging, generous space, a brand new high-tech interior concept and uncompromising quality.
Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, says: “In the first nine months of the year, we increased deliveries of our all-electric models by 31.8 percent to 273,000 vehicles. The ID.7 has the potential to give this another significant boost since this new product line marks the arrival of electric mobility in this important class.”
The ID.7 will be launched around the world. It all starts in Europe: the new Volkswagen can now be ordered with a 282-hp ID.7 Pro with 82kWh (gross) battery and a Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP) range of up to 386 miles (621 kilometers).
The ID.7 for the European and North American markets will be produced in Volkswagen’s electric mobility factory in Emden, Germany.
Exterior
The design of the ID.7 is based on flowing and muscular lines. The front end design is defined in particular by the three-dimensional design of the hood and the LED headlights with their narrow LED strip for the daytime running lights. The side air intakes (air curtains) for the wheel housings are located low down in the bumper and have a distinctive look.
A defining element of the silhouette is the character line located below the long window shoulder. This creates powerful and positive tension in the side of the vehicle. The vehicle’s proportions also help the ID.7 to make an elegant and powerful impression. The ID.7 is 195.3 inches long and has an extended 117 in wheelbase. The short body overhangs are therefore crisply defined. With a height of 60.5 in, this is the lowest slung VW ID. model to date.
The ID.7 is a comfortable sedan, with balanced damping and a long wheelbase offering a high level of comfort in all driving situations. But it also offers sporty handling, thanks to the basic layout of the running gear, the optional DCC® adaptive damping system and a newly developed vehicle dynamics manager. The comfort in the ID.7 is further optimized by details like specifically tuned, high-damping mounts for the rear axle. In addition, the integration of the battery in the vehicle floor gives a low center of gravity that also has a positive impact on handling.
The basic layout of the running gear consists of strut-type front suspension and a five-link rear axle. The control system for the optional DCC system has also been refined with new Volkswagen software that uses refined algorithms to control the dampers. Thanks to DCC, the driver has the option of adjusting the running gear to a sporty or more comfortable setting by means of the selected driving profile (Eco, Comfort and Sport) and also in Individual mode by means of a slide control.
