2024 VW ID7 TOURER - THE FIRST EVER ELECTRIC ESTATE FROM VOLKSWAGEN

EV Channels Review

The VW ID.7 Tourer marks Volkswagen's inaugural electric estate, aiming to blend practicality with EV technology. Reviewers highlight its spacious interior, particularly the generous 605-liter boot, which surpasses both the ID.7 sedan and the BMW i5 Touring. The electrochromic panoramic roof is a standout feature, offering both an open feel and effective sun shading. Comfort is emphasized, with the optional ergo active seats praised for their ergonomics and support, even for taller individuals. However, the vehicle is not without its drawbacks. The reviewer notes the small, capacitive steering wheel buttons are less intuitive, and the infotainment system, while featuring a large 15-inch screen, can be complex. Aerodynamics are slightly compromised compared to the sedan, with a Cd of 0.25 versus 0.23, impacting potential range. Despite these points, the ID.7 Tourer is positioned as a competitive and more affordable alternative to the BMW i5 Touring, offering a compelling package for those seeking an electric estate.
