New Electric Station Wagon: Introducing The Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer
There is a brand new electric station wagon joining the Volkswagen lineup and that is the ID.7 Tourer. Production for the ID.7 started back in August and will be the sixth model behind the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.6, and the ID.Buzz. There are currently two versions of the ID.7 which are the ID.7 Pro and the ID.7 Pro S.
It seems the body frame of the new electric station wagon will be very similar to the ID.7 sedan. The ID.7 Tourer seats five and comes with 19 cubic feet of storage space and when the seats are folded down, the cargo space grows to 60.5 cubic feet. It seems that the electric station wagon will debut next year in Europe and hopefully make its way to the U.S. shortly after.
ID.7 Electric Sedan
It is common knowledge at this point that electric vehicles are the future of the automotive industry. Volkswagen is one of the first big-name car brands to grasp this concept by releasing the ID.4 electric SUV and ID. Buzz electric minivan. More electric vehicles have been added to the ID lineup recently, and now Volkswagen is ready to debut its next flagship electric car. The new ID.7 will be available in 2024 and will be powered by one electric motor producing 282 horsepower and getting 0-60 mph in 5 seconds.
The ID.7 does a great job of giving the vehicle a fresh and sleek new design to make it look different from the ID.4. Feeling comfortable driving in the ID.7 is no problem because of its spaciousness. This is possible because the EV is a mix between a hatchback and a sedan, making the cargo space 18.3 cubic feet, and when the seats are folded down, the area grows to 47.8 cubic feet.
This EV seats up to five passengers and gives passengers lots of head space. Every control a driver needs is on the 15-inch screen in the center of the dashboard and has a heads-up display that shows up on the windshield. The seats are adjustable in 14 ways and provide cooling and heating features. Another nice thing is that the panoramic sunroof can turn the glass hazy with the click of a button.
The ID.7 offers two battery options: a 77.0 kWh battery that provides 382 miles of range and an 86.0 kWh battery that offers 435 miles of range. Every ID.7 will be built on the MEB platform and offers fast charging speeds–the ID.7 can be fully charged in 8 hours. The EV is powered by a single-motor rear-wheel drive system that gets 282 horsepower and 402 lb-ft of torque. The Volkswagen ID.7 will cost around $55,000 (plus the destination fee) and come in four different trim levels. If customers like the Volkswagen Arteon, they will love the ID.7. The new ID.7 will be a little different from the Arteon because of its electric motor, and the interior will be made from recycled parts.
The Waiting Continues
The wait will be a little longer for the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer EV and U.S. consumers are really hoping that it makes its way to our shores. In the meantime, come on down to Nye Automotive Group to check out Volkswagen’s other electric vehicle, the ID.4 SUV.
