It's funny to see that everybody is complaining about the looks of the car. We are living in an era where a model y is the best selling car in the world, nobody with some sense of taste can claim that's a good looking car and yet...

All the space and comfort makes it amazing interesting car. I hope it is better value when the whole range arrives.

We just got our ID7's (Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪) The glove box is not the same, as in your video. Its very good, looking like a normal glove box. It's not 2 spaces. Only 1 "big" space 👍

So this does that Polestar thing of looking like the metalwork has been stretched up (to accommodate the battery pack). How come Tesla doesn't have the same issue snd you feel quite low in the car? Genuinely would like to know how they can do it but most others can't

Believe me Tim. I have sold my 528 klm EV. The supercharher I use now is a petrol pump. So easy so fast and app free.

Tim, great review as ever! If you had to choose, would you have this with the DCC or a fully spec’ed ID4 GTX? The ID4 is £100 per month cheaper to lease, probably due to discounts, but the range is a chunk lower.

It's not good enough to be 'meh' at £50k+ - I'd take any of the Hyundai-Kia EVs over this tbh

Can you turn the speed limit warning OFF permanently or do you have to turn it OFF every time you start the car ?

I used to be a massive VW fan but this one’s deffo not giving me a Karmon Hardon

DCC is a must have apparently

I noticed the slight faux pas. I too want a Karmon Hard-on sound system. 😅

Credit to the farmer, as those were some fantastically tidy hedges 😮 All new cars MUST HAVE A LIGHT BAR 😂 I think the French stole them from the Germans!

I have a large VW dealership near to me…saw one of these on the forecourt…totally agree it is so bland…they should just make it in beige… Let’s hope the estate has some character🤞 Great review Tim…you are an illuminated light bar brightening the dullness of KZfaq 😉

I reeeeaaaallllllly want VW to be better. Give people more choice by offering genuine alternatives please. This price is ludicrous in a market where competitors are heading south.

Background music on the outro Tim? Oh no.

A lot of negative comment from people that can't afford an EV. If I had a choice for infotainment I'd choose the smaller. The one here is just too big. I have no issues with the width, but its too tall and interrupts the dash lines.

A Finnish reviewer praised ID.7's DCC.

It has the looks of a forgotten tunnel...

00:01 Whoa, that jacket woke me up this morning! Nice car but black really isn’t the best colour, makes a dull car look like a pseudo-hearse! I also would take the range claims with a pinch of salt, especially the 400 mile+ one. The revised Model Y coming soon will beat its aerodynamics and get more range from a smaller battery. More like 250-325 real world. If it was £45k, so a bit more than a similar Passat, then it would be a reasonable buy, but £60k (with options/metallic) is absolutely bonkers. I really do despair sometimes with EV’s - why on earth would anyone buy one at that price? I’m sure there will be be massive fleet discounts so leasing will be competitive but these will probably be £30k used in a year to 18 months time. Shame, I would love a nice big tourer like an EV Skoda Superb Estate, but these will only sell in tiny volumes at this price.

Suffering sofrees that looks dull. Oh and ruddy great hatchbacks have always needed rear wipers. Making it electric doesn’t suddenly legitimise that kind of cost saving. Next.

Does VW make anything that isn't absolutely rubbish these days?

The Macan EV is due out today........

52k for something so incredibly bland? I think not. Excellent review tho.

Can I take someone who things the ID.7 looks anything like the e-tron GT seriously?

with this kind of design they would not be able to compete vs Chinese competition and soon EV bubble will burst too because low percentage of peoples have only money to buiy that crap while everyone else not and technology of batteries dont go anywhere in terms of more range faster recharge ,longevity,acceptable price....

I hope it was a joke at 10:52, riding over a animal is not ok morally speaking! i hope you don´t do this..... not ethical

This is a boring looking slab, remember the very first, crisp good looking Passat. VW have lost the plot, need to get back to how they once made brilliant cars.

There is already a range test on youtube for this car and surprise surprise it's nowhere near claimed. It did 380 km at 110 kph.. Yup that's 380 kilometers, not miles. Just another terrible EV.

Electric - OFF ❗️

Looks like the car you're left with once every has taken the more exciting cars from the work car-pool. Dreary.

55,000 Pounds for a VW? No way, the people's car should change its name!

Its meh, is equivalent to a model 3sr with a bit more space at rear but 2x price and less rage , no standard heat pump, dumb software and user interface.. lagacy auto still not comited to ev

Overpriced poor efficiency,slow compared to rivals and looks like a boat 😂 so much choice out there for that price...

Looks like the Chinese have restyled the insignia and made it eat all the pies. Hideous pointless thing.

What are Volkswagen doing with their designs lately? They are all awful, old fashioned and out dated. This ID.7, the new Tiguan, the new Golf, etc. All look like they have lost that solid & easy to look at and practical design language of the past. Also, inside the small instrument cluster is just pathetic, while the huge center screen that just looks like it was stuck on is ugly. Volkswagen should look again at the 2024 Porsche Macan's dash to see how neat and integrated looks like.

Yet another VW EV plot-loser?

I think it's quite ugly.

Yup, it looks horrificly boring… But it’s a VW, they’re always horrificly boring! I tried the ID.7 and it is incredibly comfortable and quiet… and the infotainment is actually really good. HOWEVER, it’s MUCH too expensive! With that said, it feels leagues ahead of Tesla in terms of quality (but then again, so does the leaning tower of Pisa) and the drive is much nicer than the Korean’s… But that price!!!

Looks like a Chinese car from a decade ago.

Ultra bland. A fridge freezer has more style.

Tesla killer 😂😂😂 You wish 🤣😂🤣😂

EV = waste of time. Stick to ICE please
