This car looks stunning!

Wonderful car. Thank you Thomas and Leah!

Just had my order of the ID7 Pro S Tourer confirmed here in the UK, no idea yet when it'll arrive, no doubt be a while. Timely video, thanks Thomas and Leah for the great reviews!

A good looking ID model - wow. This is for me, the most successful ID to date. It's clean, modern and looks high quality. You can definitely sense the effort VW have put into the 7 to get rid of the ghosts of the other models. The seats and dash layout looks super nice - my only quibble is that I am not a fan of the 'massive iPad screwed to the dashboard' approach of the centre screen - I prefer something smaller and more integrated. Other than that, great looking car and definitely looks worthy of the VW badge. Its just very very expensive in my opinion.

brilliant review, extremely eloquent especially as English is your second language! Leah's little giggles are nice too. Very helpful as i've just ordered this car in the UK without seeing or driving it first!

I'm glad they've given a choice of battery size, as I would choose the smaller battery as it offers all the range you need without the additional weight of the larger battery.

Couldn't agree more about annoying noises in cars. Endless alarms.

@autogefuehl Just a tip that you can turn the roof light on without touching them. Just swipe your hand near them and they'll activate. That way there won't be fingerprints left at the light neither.

I can confirm the turning circle. I own the sedan and never had such an easy car to park in my narrow garage. I was scared during the order it would be a problem with a big car like this. All my other cars have been way smaller and more difficult to get in the garage.

Quite like it, no buttons for HVAC is a crime though.

So sad that VW decided not to import ID7 into USA and Canada including this tourer ..same with i5 Touring ..North America just seems to hate wagons..we re too much in love with SUVa pickups and crossovers..why not put more cladding on it bigger wheels higher suspension and call it Allroad Alltrack ?

Your reviews are the best ever. I swear you say what I'm thinking. Nice job Thomas.

It's a lovely shape. Love the rear lights too. Interior is nice too.

Excellent Review thank you. I can lease one for £276 per month but have reservations about the claimed range. Keep up the good work.

Is the facelift coming with real buttons? I hate this touch crap.

A beautiful and subtle color. Sadly we don't get Estate/Wagons here in the USA.

Why not have one 1️⃣ large rear felt/textile floor mat in the rear? Now, it’s two separate with a big space in between, as if they had taken them from an ICE car with a transmission tunnel. Even the ICE Peugeot 508 SW from 2011 has one 1️⃣ floor mat for all three rear seats for its flat floor, which was kind of unique for an ICE in 2011.

I'm in the market for a wagon. Starting price of €9000 extra over the Passat, hmmm... That's a lot to overcome with nergy costs, especially for apartment dwellers. Many Passat buyers seems to be one-car-households without a driveway or other private charging possibility. The batteries being kind of small despite the hefty premium also doesn't help it as a business or road tripping car. In an idential overall length Lucid Air you get up to 118 kWh and a 280 liter (!!!!) frunk. VW is just not really trying to offer customers the best possible. Slap some parts together, OK to waste 280 liters of frunk space, and charge 9000 over a Passat, obedient consumers will buy whatever we tell them to.

Great review, nice delivery, you're a star my friend - thank you for speaking in English, my German is woeful

Great to hear Leas opinion too. She is a very valuable partner to Thomas. A great team ❤

The extension latch for the rear seats to become more upright first appeared on the mini clubman.

In my opinion the real reason for the 77 kWh version is - if you get it fully equipped you get for 69.450 € which slightly below 70.000 € and the current mark for company cars in order to benefit from 0.25% tax instead of 0.50%. Otherwise I fully agree, I doesn’t make any sense.

Smart to have a charging flap that might keep snow away from the port while charging.

Lovely car and really good review 👍🏻

Love the configuration you chose Thomas! Great idea

I want a Skoda version with proper interior and a real sunroof.

I did not know you were 189 6’2. Thank you for letting us know 3 times 😂

Thanks guys as usual a detailed review 👌

Thomas, the BMW i4 actually outsold the Model 3 in H1 2024 in Germany and even the EQE came close. Cosidering midsize/executive EV sedan prices, I'd say go cheap (Model 3 SR) or full-size (ID.7 Touring). Anyway, competition is always good for consumers. With ID.7, i5, EQE as well as the upcoming A6 (plus foreign imports Model 3/ET5 and 7/Seal etc), we'll finally see options in this segments.

"Someones daughter watching netflix and chill!" Dududu duuun duuuuu! on repeat

I really like the VW "simplicity of design" for both the door handles and the charge port cover. I've had a 22' EV6 for 2-1/2 years and still don't care for the pop out door handles and the powered charge port cover.

I sat in and drove and ID7 a while ago. Honestly the space is really good and the general feel is a huge step up from an ID4, but the interior build quality is still not fantastic. A lot of the materials feel quite thin and hollow, not nearly as sturdy or substantial as something like an i4 or Zeekr 001 or even Tesla model 3. You keep mentioning the felt covering being more premium than what BMW does lately, which is fair as I would like them to use it again. But I do feel that you forget to mention that VW (and many brands) drop the ball with general material quality lower down. BMW tends to have soft touch materials all the way down, around glove box area, and the area around the door bins is also often softer plastic as well. This is where VW and others apply hard scratchy nasty plastics instead.

Great video! Test drove the sedan version with 20 inch wheels last weekend, and I really noticed the low frequency "booming" from the wheels when I exceeded 90 km/h. Was pretty annoying on a long drive. However, apart from that I really like the car!

Love the car.hate the dash.It makes no difference to me how good the touch screen has improved.No proper buttons = no purchase

Great to see a comparison video with the i5 Touring

€72k for a VW Passat!?!?! It’s going to depreciate like a stone so will be worth half that in 12-months. I’d rather put my money on the diesel version - just as good and will hold its value far better than this one.

For me, at the moment - a few years still off buying my first EV, it’s between this ID7 T (SMLR) and the equivalent A6 e-tron Avant. But obviously £60k+ is a big pill to swallow… probably buy one 2 years old, and save about £20-25k on initial depreciation!

It's a very handsome estate and reminds me of the cool Passat's of the 90s. Clean lines, elegant yet sporty. I wish this design came in ICE format.

It's an interesting point re the driving dynamics. For years part of the USP of a luxury car was the smoothness of the drivetrain and the lack of noise, all things that are pretty much standard with a BEV drivetrain. So whilst electrification is a no brainer for that class of cars there's also a potential threat when mass market cars can deliver those same qualities with a BEV platform. Or in other words, why pay silly money for a 5 series BEV when you can get so much of that experience for a lot less. Ultimately badge snobbery will come into play but once legacy manufacturers match production efficiencies of the Chinese, who are selling BEV's for less than ICE in their home markets .... the everyday person will reap the benefits.

So when you lift your rear off the seat, _the car_ toots... That's unique! :D Seriously now though, this looks real nice actually. Fairly restrained design, quite well thought-through, rather German overall, I must say. In a positive way. I wish VW a lot of success selling this one. :)

Sounds like price is really the biggest problem with the ID.7. Seems like a really nice car, and in Touring form, quite attractive. Not such a big fan of the fastback style, which tends to accentuate how high the floor is.

Short skirt would improve so much this car test during summer... 😉

Man, I miss my Passat - was the original owner of a 2004 until someone totaled it...the only car I've ever been 'attached' to,,,almost bought a pre-owned 2019 or 2020, whatever the last year of the Passat in the USA was...wife wanted to move on from sedan...now I can't get any new Passat, bummer.

I like it how you get a free TV when you buy this car

Yes - I like this - The inside is better.- Think I would like ' webcam ' as standard.- Plus - two oblong type screens on dash - right - one for passenger internet/access. Extreme ' gadget - man '. Good length of car and turning circle excellent. Price bit steep! Bless Badger

After seeing the new superb I really want Skoda to make their own version of the id7

Give me an ID Buzz any day of the week!! I would prefer to see the ID7, renamed the ID Passat!!

Would love this in the US, but I understand why we will probably never see it.

VW group on fire with awesome realeases this YEAR... the new A5 is probably the most beautiful car i've seen .... GOLF got the facelift it needed ... and the OCTAVIA went the hyundai way ... the SUPERB and new PASSAT are exactly what the people needed.

The rear blinker cascade becomes blue🟦 and then green🟩 before turning yellow🟨, which is not so nice and may even be a safety issue ⚠️; milliseconds can matter.

I really like it. The design is great, with great proportions (which can't be said about the new Passat). The turning circle is awesome! That's the same as a mk7.5 Golf Variant, which is a smaller car. I love how it has the old non electric cargo cover in the boot, and not that gimicky electric one. The rear seat look fine and with that tilted postion they solved the classic knees in your face seating postion as seen in the new A6. The front is okay too, apart from the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and the lack of 4 window switches fro the driver. One question came up in my head with these new infotainment screens. Do they have the screen turn off feature from the older systems? Power is okay, and I hope there is a way to maybe turn off all traction to have some fun. A drifting electric VW wagon would be pretty funny I think. :D Thanks for the detailed review!

A great review. A great car. A shame the seats don't fold completely flat and the seat bases don't fold up to protect the rear of the front seats from load scuffs. A car I will shortlist for the future as I like the sound of the smoothness. However I'm hoping for an EV Volvo estate at some point in the future.

So, it seems that this will be pretty much the same price as the 2wd electric Macan. I know which I'd go for...

VW and Audi are both missing the market in the USA with their lack of vehicle offerings.

Decent job from VW

They got the design spot on

Can wait for the Skoda Superb version of it! Maybe with a 800V arcitecture!

I still don’t get it why these type of wheels are all the same.. i mean from right side they ‘point’ to the backward and from the left side they ‘point’ forward. I mean what’s the science behind this configuration? How does it work with the aerodynamic of the car?🤔 Otherwise the review is top. I’d rather wait a bit before i consider ordering an electric VW

It’s shame that this car at such a high price doesn’t have double wishbone front suspension

Great video, looks like a great car. Could I ask what Nike trainers you're wearing? They look very smart.

Really annoying that we can't get the ID7 in Norway without the glass roof and still keep the DCC and double glass front side windows. It's in the same exterior pack option. That big glass roof is not very good for cold climate.

still don't understand this obsession with legacy car makers of giving barely any power to their electric cars, making them just as slow as their ICE version, whats the point of making an electric car with instant torque if you give it 150hp for 2.5tons, feels very intentional to make Electrics seem worse, which doesn't do them any benefit against the competition

What are your current favorite electric cars?

Definitely this one looks much better. I do not like the look of Id7. But in thia eatate version I would buy it. Of course, is way too expensive. But otherwise would be nice. The interior space is also way too big, while the boot is rather small.

Thomas I really like your videos. I have one question, did you ever disclose what car you are driving? I believe you mentioned once that you prefer plug in hybrids. Thanks

The high belt line kinda makes it look like an MPV.

I think the entire ID range is a complete visual failure, and I think the fact that the ID7 looks better than the Passat says it all. Nevertheless, VW is doing a lot right and if an e-car would suit my use, then it would be very good. Unfortunately, the controls on the steering wheel and the touch-only are absolutely unacceptable - I also need a roller blind that really darkens and a sunroof that can be opened.

It is NOT a replacement of the Passat but an addition. Only in Norway or Denmark will EVs replace ICE cars. In our summerholiday we drove through Germany and BENELUX. Allmost no EVs on the road - compared to the amount of EVs in Denmark.

Great review both , do prefer it in the red uk version and petrol but it’s not a bad looking car and considering Volvo are bringing back the estate in the uk maybe the electric estates might sell well

And of course, it's not coming to the states. I guess I will never get an electric wagon.

But why do Volkswagen insist on putting the chargeport on the right side which is the wrong side and not the left side which is the right side?!

How could it be in terms of it being a launch as it is the replacement for the VW Passat in either the sedan or station wagon variant, or as we can call it the VW Passat Variant, but it will be a good vehicle sold in Europe or the United States.

Hi Thomas, Great video! Does the illuminated front and rear logos only comes with the GTX? Keep up the good work!

Thomas, after so many car reviews - which car is currently your favourite?

Leah was teasing you with that charging flap 😂

11:08 Leah has found men in car industry, reviewer, almost 6'5'', blue eyes 😄

Thank you for the in-depth video. I really wanted the tourer version but unfortunately it's very slowly coming to Romania so I ordered the sedan. I really wanted a BMW but the i5 is such a disappointment in terms of practicality and the i4 is not worth the money in comparison to this, so I ordered the id.7 even though it's uglier

When will VW replace the steering wheel with a model with normal buttons? I believe the VW boss said they will do it when they facelifted the id3.

Anyone know what its like to sit in the back in cargo mode? Suspect we will leave it in that as standard, our daughter is still in a car seat so shoulkd be fine - but is it ok for an adult to sit like that?

It seems you have the exterior package plus, shouldn't the logo be illuminated like it is for th GTX? I ordered a Pro S tourer fully loaded and it's included in the specs

I’ll still waiting ID.2.. shame that they doesn’t give it now.

Gotta love how manufacturers get constant feedback that high gloss is dreadful especially in high touch areas. So they go and make the key out of it. VW failing to listen to consumers once again

For vacations and holidays, traveling by car, you usually need the most space, have passengers in the rear, and travel the furthest/longest time in the car. They have to sit upright like they were on an 8-hour job interview 🤦🏼‍♂️

Would be a killer car if it could tow 1.6 or 1.8 tons like the new ID Buzz. But with 1.4 t it is a no go for us caravan users :(

I saw an ID/7 on the road, it looked really narrow. How is that narrow profile being hidden on the inside?

What's with all the camera glitches?

I want one

so handsome! as well as the wagon

VW just makes the best cars for the price....

Love your shoes, Thomas! What Nike model is that? 😬

ID7 Sedan doesn't really experience this booming effect at all, 20" factory tires. I have it for 3 months now and already close to 10K km, so not sure about this sound. As for the parking sensor, it's absurdly sensitive and i've had too many cases of unnecessary emergency brakes initiated by the car... too bad you can't disable it by default :(

Too bad VW wastes time programming "cool" approach lights and stuff like that instead of giving the driver 4 switches for the windows (instead of only 2) - I'd love to see that TV screen go away and give some real physical push buttons on the wheel and for controls on the dash. Just because Tesla saves money doing everything through the central TV screen doesn't mean others need to follow that nonsense !!!

at 8:29 that 1,19 meters should be 2,19...

How does this compare to Scoda superp?

I recently had an ID4 as a courtesy car and hated the interior. It looks like the ID7 is a step up but still very disappointing. VW seem to be aiming for the trendy minimalist look but are doing it very badly.
