Volkswagen ID.7
The Volkswagen ID.7 is VW's flagship electric executive saloon and Tourer estate, replacing the Passat saloon and Arteon with an aerodynamic fastback design, the efficient APP550 rear motor, and up to 435 miles of WLTP range. Built on the updated MEB platform with standard 15-inch MIB4 software, it brings significantly improved responsiveness, illuminated climate sliders, and enhanced acoustic insulation for whisper-quiet UK motorway commuting.
