Volkswagen ID.7 Gets A More Amped Up Concept Vehicle
Once the Volkswagen ID.7 was revealed, consumers expected a performance version in the near future. Volkswagen just announced the ID.X Performance concept vehicle which will come with a few exterior updates and more. A few of the new exterior updates include flared wheelarches, a wing for the trunk lid, bulkier front splitter, and 20-inch tires.
As for the interior, there will be red stitching on the carbon bucket seats, dash and steering wheel. The ID.7 electric sedan has a dual-motor that produces 551 horsepower and VW has even added an extra screen to the center console to control the rear axle differential lock. Having the ID.X get 551 horsepower is a major upgrade than one of the ID.7 trim levels that get 282 horsepower.
Unfortunately, there is no exact date for when the dual-motor version of the ID.7 will go on sale. The Volkswagen brand has been working hard to push past Tesla and be the ones on top and the ID.7 models are a great way to introduce another impressive electric vehicle.
More On The ID.7
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, plus 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.
