The Volkswagen ID.7 will soon be joining the Volkswagen ID family, alongside the ID.4 and the future ID.Buzz!

While awaiting its arrival in dealerships, VW Lauzon tells you more about this electric Volkswagen sedan we are all impatient to see!

The sedan’s electric performance: range and battery

The Volkswagen ID.7 will be offered in Canada with an all-new electric motor that will provide the ID.7 with outstanding performance, including 282 horsepower and 405 lb-ft. maximum torque, coupled with a rear-wheel drive system.

For the time being, this is the only powertrain available; a trim with all-wheel drive and more power could eventually be offered as well.

When it comes to electric range, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.7 won’t have anything to envy from the competition, with a range that should be around 500 kilometers on one single charge; a 77 kWh battery is the only one available here, while in other places, you could also find an 86 kWh battery aboard the ID.7.

Are you hesitating about purchasing an electric vehicle because of how winter might affect its performance? You should read our blog about electric cars in winter.

Technologies

Just like for all Volkswagen electric ID concepts cars, the ID.7 will offer several cutting-edge technologies, like:

  • A 15- inch touch screen, geared towards the driver
  • Augmented reality head-up display
  • Backlit touchpad
  • A panoramic sunroof with light control
  • Superior quality seats with massage function
  • And so much more.

The ID.7 –offered at a price range that has yet to be revealed- also offers a long list of evolved safety features, among which you will find the Travel Assist system. Just as its name indicates, this system can assist the driver during lane changes on highways with several lanes, once speed reaches 90 km/hr.

Let’s also mention parking with memory function, up to 50 meters away; you can choose to remain aboard the vehicle or to exit before the maneuver.

Although little details have yet seeped through the cracks about the ID.7, we can assume that it will offer similar –or superior- equipment as what is currently found aboard the already commercialized ID.4. This means that the ID.7 electric sedan could be equipped with the following features (tentatively):

  • Interactive navigation
  • Intuitive start
  • Wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto
  • Wireless cellphone charging
  • Autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist surveillance
  • Blind spot surveillance with rear cross traffic alert
  • Dynamic road sign display
  • And so much more.

ID. 7: Configuration and Style

For the time being, we do not know what type of different trims will be offered on this Volkswagen electric sedan. As a comparison, we can look at the ID.4, offered in 3 trims, which could also be the case for the ID.7, although nothing has yet been confirmed by Volkswagen.

When it comes to the ID.7 interior and exterior design, this model is sometimes called the “electric Passat”; this midsize sedan will also focus on passenger comfort, thanks to a generous wheelbase that provides rear passengers with plenty of space.

You will also love the Fastback type silhouette and the sculpted lines, without forgetting the large wheels, the headlights that boast a spectacular design, and the elegant and functional interior.

Estimated Arrival Date

The Volkswagen ID.7 should be arriving on the North American market in 2024, although we do not have a more precise date for the moment. However, it should be commercialized in Europe and China as early as this fall.

Estimated Prices

At the moment, it is difficult to provide you with a price range for the ID.7. Just to give you an idea, the ID.4 SUV sells at base prices of between $ 49,160 and $ 58,160.

The ID.7’s direct competitors –the Hyundai IONIQ 6 and the Tesla Model 3- are both offered at a price range of between $ 54,999 and $ 63,999 for the first and between $ 54,990 and $72,990 for the second.

However, when we take a look at the European Volkswagen website, we can see that the ID.7 entry-level model will be offered under 60,000 euros.
