This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new Volkswagen ID. 7 flagship electric sedan. The all-new Volkswagen ID.7 all-electric sedan will hit dealerships the second half of 2024 and will be made in Germany. Pricing will be announced closer to the on sale date.
We tested the all-new Volkswagen ID.7 RWD model with a gross output battery of 82 kWh, usable 77 kWh. It has 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. On the European test cycle, it gets up to 621 km/386 miles of range. The target for the North American market is 480 km/300 miles. An AWD model will be coming later.
The all-new Volkswagen ID.7 can accelerate from 0-60 mph in 6.5 seconds and can reach a top speed of 112 mph/180 kph.
Standard features of the all-new Volkswagen ID.7 include a 15” touchscreen, wireless Apple Carplay and Android Auto an augmented reality head-up display, 10-colour ambient lighting, available 30-colour, navigation, heated fronts seats, a heated steering wheel and 19” wheels. Other available features include a 14-speaker Harman Kardon sound system, ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, 12-way adjustable front seats with memory, thigh support and a massage feature. I have to tell you the massage function is fantastic!
The all-new Volkswagen ID.7 is 195.3” long and 73.3” wide with 40.6” of headroom in the front row, 37.8” in rear. Trunk space is 18.8 cubic feet and overall space is 56 cubic feet.
The VW ID.7 has an 11-kW onboard charger and can support a 400 volt charging infrastructure with charging speeds up to 175 kW. With a DC Fast Charger you can charge this sedan from 10 to 80% in 28 minutes.
There is a new charging and thermal management function which pre-conditions the battery ahead of DC Fast Charging stops.

If they ever bring the ID.7 wagon to the states, it'll be my first EV. I went from an Alltrack SEL to a Kia Stinger GT2 and then back to another Alltrack (SE this time) over the last 6 years. I could live with the liftback form factor, for sure. I loved my Stinger more than any object I've ever owned, but I do prefer the wagon form factor. A wagon version of this seems like it'd be closer to the old Passat wagon in size rather than the Alltrack, which would be even better.

The average price of a new car in the US is about $35,000 now. A new Tesla Model 3 sells for about $39,000 currently. Once you apply the federal credit, it’s about $31,500. Most states have credits also, $2500 where I live in Virginia. That lowers the price to $29,000. Not really priced out of reach.

Quick story. And I’ll preface this with the fact that my Wife absolutely loves her 2.5 L gas Volkswagen Jetta. That being said… Last year she asked me what I wanted for Christmas. I said a performance exhaust system for my ‘87 Carrera. Exhaust system… full stop. What did I get??? An f’n ‘hand painted’ picture frame with photo with us during our dating years (1991/2?). Thanks fine … I guess. Because what I got her was … a staggered tipped stainless steel performance exhaust system with a free flow muffler (typically found on Golf Rs) for a rich in-line exhaust note, especially above 4,000 rpm. She absolutely hates it… so she says. Reminds me daily in fact. But… I think of it as the gift that keeps on giving. My point? I really like this new Volkswagen. But I feel EVs are far too quiet for me. But obviously … I have an almost dalliance relationship between the me (the driver) and the mechanical sounds of an internal combustion engine… even on an in-line 2.5 L five cylinder power plant (half of an exotic V-10 right?). So… I think I’ll be passing on EVs for a while. Thanks for the video. (I will NOT show this video to my Wife).

Based on prices in France a comparable ID4 (Pro Performance : 1 engine, large battery) starts at 53650 Euros and the ID7 base price is 62650 Euros. So its 9,000 more Euros !!! It's way more expensive than a Tesla Model 3. Volks is preparing a version with a battery of 88 kWh (usable) good for 700 km in WLTP (between 610 and 625 km in EPA) at a starting price of 69,000 Euros.

So many critics of electric cars seem to forget that oil in the ground is finite and that we have to develop alternative approaches. Once solid state batteries become the norm, along with their extended range and fast re-charging, many consumers will make the leap. ICE will remain in ‘developing’ countries for decades to come though, as I think the push to electric cars will be a largely ‘First World’ priority given the costs involved and political priorities.

Well, speaking as a driving enthusiast who exclusively owns cars with manual transmissions, possesses the finesse necessary to drive them smoothly, appreciates and frequently uses engine braking (which is pretty much what it feels like to lift off the throttle in a one-pedal-driving enabled EV), and detests automatic transmissions, I have LOVED driving any EV with one-pedal capability.

It's a liftback sedan. Definitely not a hatchback.

Alexander, google: liftback definition, or: hatchback vs. liftback.

@@michaels3003 Lift- or hatch- back, whatever. It is not a sedan. In my opinion, liftback is a subclass of hatchback. Liftbacks and fastbacks are just stupid marketing terms designed to disguise hatchbacks and station wagons respectively. Whether the hatch is highly sloped or not is a minor detail. The way this hatch opens compared to a sedan trunk is a major difference. Hatchbacks (including liftbacks) are far more practical than sedans, and reviewers are making a disservice to this product by calling it a sedan.

More overpriced cars people won't buy. The OEMs are all trying to get into the luxury game you can't all win in that space

I was excited to see a new nice looking sedan, then we get to the interior and that fucking Tesla like screen on the dashboard is such a huge letdown - I would love to take a sledgehammer to it.

Can the car talk to you with a Mario voice, how about a minion like kevin, hello Kevin? Can you install a blu ray player for that LCD panel? It just looks too heavy, it's a flying brick with adaptive damping suspension. The whole vehicle should be run by Ai and if it gets stolen the vehicle can think for itself.
