World premiere of the all-electric Volkswagen ID.7 sedan
Volkswagen is presenting the new ID.7, the brand’s first global electric model for the upper mid-size sedan class. The combination of a manufacturer’s estimated potential range of up to 435 miles / 700 km (based on the European WLTP cycle), a revised powertrain, spacious interior and premium technologies makes the ID.7 ideal for long-distance travel and opens up a new segment for the Volkswagen EV family. The ID.7 also has an enhanced customer-focused operating concept and a high-quality appearance. The ID.7 launch is planned for this year in Europe and China, and from 2024 in North America.
The ID.7 is the first MEB model with a completely new, highly efficient drivetrain. With 282 horsepower (210 kW), it is the most powerful and highest-torque electric motor in a Volkswagen EV model so far. This power variant is used in the ID.7 independently of the chosen battery size. The APP550 power unit was developed with Volkswagen Group Components in Kassel (Germany) and is also produced there.
The new electric drivetrain has been optimized above all for energy efficiency. Depending on the battery size, Volkswagen estimates that, depending on trim, WLTP ranges of up to 435 miles (700 km) and DC fast charging capacities of up to about 200 kW will be possible. EPA-estimated range is not yet available and will be released closer to the North American launch date.
The ID.7 is 195.3 inches long and was designed on aerodynamic principles. Its roof slopes elegantly to the rear, like a coupe, and contributes to an excellent drag coefficient of 0.23 depending on equipment. The long wheelbase and short overhangs create plenty of space in the interior for all occupants.
A new operating and display concept is introduced with the ID.7. With this, Volkswagen has reacted to feedback from its customers and improved the operating experience.
This includes the following features as standard:
a 15-inch infotainment system screen
an augmented reality head-up display
a new air conditioning operating concept integrated in the infotainment system
Backlit touch sliders
