Volkswagen Unveils the new All-Electric ID.7 With a Range of up to 700 km

Volkswagen has unveiled the new ID.7, the brand’s first global electric model for the upper mid-size class. The new model offers a range of up to 700 kilometres (WLTP).

The ID.7 is the first MEB model with a completely new, highly efficient drive generation.

With 210 kW (286 PS), it is the most powerful and highest-torque electric drive motor in a Volkswagen ID. model so far. 

A new operating and display concept is introduced in the ID.7.

It includes a 38-centimetre (15-inch) infotainment system screen and an augmented reality head-up display.

The ID.7 launch is planned for this year in Europe and China, and from 2024 in North America.

It will be produced in the Volkswagen plant in Emden (Germany) for the European and North American markets. In China, the corresponding ID.7 models will be produced locally.

Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, says: “With the ID.7 we are taking the next step in our electric offensive. The limousine offers a high level of comfort and long ranges. Already by 2026, we will offer the widest electric range of all manufacturers in Europe – from the entry-level model for less than 25,000 euros up to the ID.7 as the new top model within the ID. family. Our goal is to achieve an electric car share of 80 per cent in Europe by 2030. As from 2033, Volkswagen will produce only electric vehicles in Europe.”

Kai Grünitz, Member of the Brand Board of Management responsible for Development, adds: “The ID.7 sets new efficiency standards on the basis of the modular electric drive matrix (MEB). We are aiming for a range of up to 700 kilometres⁰² in accordance with WLTP. This is made possible by very good aerodynamics and by significantly increased efficiency in the areas of the powertrain and thermal management.” 

Imelda Labbé, Member of the Brand Board of Management for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, comments: “The ID.7 is an extremely important model for the Volkswagen brand in Europe, China and North America. The ID.7 offers an attractive package that will excite both existing and new Volkswagen customers all over the world. In this Volkswagen, we are offering premium technologies that impress through their exclusivity, premium comfort and high degree of everyday usability.”

The ID.7 is is one of ten new electric models that will be launched by Volkswagen by 2026.
