ID.7 Tourer: Electric estate arrives with 685km range and AR magic [W/Gallery +Videos]

 


Volkswagen is expanding its ID.7 portfolio in Europe with the all-new ID.7 Tourer, one of the first all-electric estate cars in the upper mid-sized class. The ID.7 Tourer combines the emissions advantages of electric mobility with long WLTP ranges (up to 685 km), a high-quality cockpit landscape, outstanding travel comfort, and superior spaciousness, making it an ideal business car. Europe-wide presales are scheduled to start in the first quarter of this year.


The ID.7 Tourer differs significantly from the fastback saloon at the rear, with its long roof line and elegant transition to the boot lid being striking design features. It is a fusion of a classic estate in the format of the Passat and a dynamic shooting brake such as the Arteon. With five people on board, the ID.7 Tourer has a luggage capacity of up to 605 litres (rear seat backrest in cargo position).


The new ID.7 Tourer is equipped with the latest generation electric drive system and will offer two different battery sizes. Depending on the battery energy content, the electric touring car is expected to achieve WLTP ranges of up to 685 km. The largest battery is designed for a maximum charging capacity of up to 200 kW at DC quick-charging stations, which can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in significantly less than 30 minutes.

The new ID.7 Tourer will also feature an augmented-reality (AR) head-up display as standard, projecting relevant information into the driver's field of vision, allowing their eyes to stay focused on the road. The wellness In-Car app allows various vehicle functions to be adjusted by means of three preconfigured programmes (Fresh Up, Calm Down, and Power Break), which can help to enhance wellbeing during the journey or breaks.
