ROAD TESTING THE NEW VW ID.7 | YOUR QUESTIONS ANSWERED!

EV Channels Review

The VW ID.7 Pro is presented as a highly competitive electric fastback saloon, emphasizing its 'big range' and fast-charging capabilities. The reviewer highlights the car's aerodynamic design, spacious interior with ample legroom (though headroom is slightly compromised by the sloping roofline), and a luxurious, tranquil cabin ambiance enhanced by ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof. A standout feature is the exceptionally comfortable 'Ergo seats' with massage functions, designed for long journeys. The infotainment system shows marked improvement in speed and responsiveness compared to previous models. Handling is praised for its incredible grip, elegance, and balance, particularly on winding mountainous roads, with the refined chassis effectively soaking up imperfections. The augmented reality head-up display is noted as a useful, albeit 'trippy', feature. However, the reviewer points out some minor drawbacks, including slightly scratchy plastics on the door handles and center console, and the continued use of distracting haptic touch controls for the steering wheel. The navigation's line color could also be improved for clarity. The car's price is a significant concern, deemed very expensive, with a call for VW to introduce more affordable entry-level models.
