In a groundbreaking move toward sustainable and spacious mobility, Volkswagen is set to introduce its first-ever electric estate vehicle, the ID 7 Tourer. A sibling to the ID 7 sedan, this EV wagon is poised to revolutionize the electric vehicle landscape globally in the coming months.
Volkswagen ID 7 Tourer Highlights:
Platform and Practicality: Built on the versatile MEB EV platform, shared with the likes of the ID 3, ID 4, and the recently revealed ID 7 sedan, the ID 7 Tourer prioritizes interior space through a strategic combination of a long wheelbase and short overhangs.
Spacious Interior: Crafted for practicality, the ID 7 Tourer boasts a remarkable 545 liters of boot space with the rear seats in an upright position, expanding to an impressive 1,714 liters with the seats folded down. Notably, this surpasses the current Volkswagen Passat’s capacity, and the company emphasizes that the boot alone stretches two meters.
Aerodynamic Efficiency: Designed with a keen focus on aerodynamics, the ID 7 Tourer aims to maximize its range. With features such as a smooth front bumper, rear lip spoiler, and flush door handles, the vehicle achieves a drag coefficient of 0.24cd – a mere 0.1cd more than its sedan counterpart.
Powertrain and Performance: While specific details on the range are yet to be unveiled, it’s reasonable to anticipate performance on par with the ID 7 sedan, which boasts an impressive 700km on a single charge. The ID 7 Tourer is expected to share similar specifications and powertrain options.
Two battery options are anticipated, including the 77kWh pack used in existing ID models, offering a 615km range and 170kW charging, and a new 86kWh unit with a remarkable 700km range between recharges and faster 200kW charging. In its fastest Pro S variant, the ID 7 estate achieves a 0-100kph time of around 6.0 seconds.
Cutting-Edge Infotainment: The ID 7 Tourer inherits key features from its sedan counterpart, including interior ambient lighting with up to 30 colors and a 15-inch touchscreen infotainment system running an overhauled iteration of Volkswagen’s MIB software platform. The emphasis on user-friendly design is evident with a new direct-access bar, customizable home screen, and streamlined access to core functions.
As the global debut of the VW ID 7 Tourer approaches, stay tuned for more details on this groundbreaking electric estate vehicle.
