Volkswagen has announced the world premiere of its latest all-electric ID.7 model, designed for long-distance driving and set to launch in Europe by the end of 2023. The ID.7 is expected to enhance the upper mid-size class in Europe, China, and North America, and is a crucial milestone for Volkswagen as it seeks to increase its share of electric models to 80 percent in Europe by 2030.
Improved driving dynamics
To improve driving dynamics, the ID.7 includes the optional adaptive chassis control (DCC) and driving dynamics manager of the limousine for long-distance travel. The driving mode selection options offer a wide range between comfort and sportiness, and the systems ensure precise driving behavior and maximum stability.
Redesigned cockpit and interior
The interior of the ID.7 offers ample space in both the front and rear seats. The cockpit has been completely redesigned, and the size of the classic instruments has been significantly reduced. All necessary standard information and warnings are displayed behind the steering wheel in the ID cockpit, and the Infotainment system display is equipped as standard in the ID.7, measuring 38 centimeters (15 inches) across the diagonal.
New generation of driver and front passenger seats
Volkswagen has developed a new generation of driver and front passenger seats for the ID.7, with up to 14 electrical adjustment options depending on the version. Along with adaptive seat Climatronic, they also feature a completely redesigned massage function. The driver and front passenger can alternatively activate an automatic mode for the seat climate, and the newly developed massage function of the optional ergoActive Premium seats offers a particularly high level of comfort.
