The all-new ID.7
Book Test DriveThe future lies in range
Volkswagen is redefining the performance of electric mobility with the all-new all-electric ID.7. The fully electric saloon combines high range values, fast charging, ample space and intuitive operation in the new premium standard from Volkswagen.
Details about the all-new ID.7
Design
Function in its most perfect form: The elegant design of the ID.7 is characterised by the aerodynamically shaped front and the sloping roofline, which is reminiscent of a fastback. Air intakes located in the front end guide the air flowing through them purposefully down the sides of the vehicle to the rear. In this way, they form an air curtain, which calms the air flow at the sides of the vehicle. The sloping roof of the ID.7 contributes to the very good drag coefficient (cW value) of just 0.237 – ensuring lower energy consumption and higher ranges.
Light for almost any mood: Give your ID. more personality. Choose from ten standard colours (30 colours are available as an option) and gently illuminate the interior. Visually illuminated decorative trims on the dash panel, door trim and mobile phone holder create a special lighting mood. It’s up to you whether you choose cooler or warm lighting.
Comfort
Infotainment and Technology
Pioneering navigation
High-tech converges with reality in your ID. and allows you to keep an eye on what’s important: the standard augmented reality head-up display projects important digital information directly onto the windscreen and into your field of vision; for example, you can opt to view information about lane changes or the arrow signals for navigation. You can see the navigation on the lane exactly where you are driving along or turning off – without taking your eyes off the road. So you reach your destination feeling more relaxed.
Everything under control
A completely new type of user experience awaits you in the Digital Cockpit of your ID. Thanks to the latest intuitive operating concept, your ID. is transformed into a genuine standard-setting smart device. The standard 38 cm (15 inch) screen display provides convenient access to the most important functions. Individually configurable favourites and even more applications on the homescreen guarantee short operating paths and improve the user experience.
Operation of the air conditioning is integrated into the first level of the infotainment system. The different functions of the new air conditioning concept are visible at all times on the large new display and can be activated and saved individually for each user. The intelligent air vents control the air flow and special requests can be activated using voice commands. If the user says “Hello Volkswagen, my hands are cold!”, the ID.7 responds by starting the steering wheel heating function. At the same time, warm air is directed towards the hands.
Say “Hello” to your ID.
Avoid getting distracted by buttons or switches while driving. Keep your eyes on the road and control important functions of your ID. with ease using next generation intuitive voice control – for example, the radio, optional navigation system or your phone. Just say “Hello Volkswagen” and your digital assistant will understand you. If you say “Hello Volkswagen, my hands are cold!”, you activate the steering wheel heating function and the smart air vents in the air conditioning system direct the flow of hot air to your hands. Your digital assistant can also give you suggestions depending on the situation, for example, by recommending a certain playlist for you or a detour to avoid traffic congestion.
Prepared for almost everything
Even at first glance, the new ID.7 shines with a genuine highlight: the innovative IQ.LIGHT. The matrix technology enables you to permanently drive with main beam without dazzling other road users. An elegant light strip extends between the attractively shaped LED matrix headlights and the Volkswagen logo. When you approach your vehicle, the headlights light up briefly as if winking at you, making the ID. appear almost human.
What creates an impression at the front should naturally also be present at the rear: The package includes the optional 3D LED tail light clusters with animated brake light and integrated dynamic turn signal, which indicates the intended direction with a dynamic flowing light movement.
Audibly unique
It sounds unique and it is too: ID. Sound, the sound of the ID. models from Volkswagen when driving at a slow speed. To make road traffic safer, your ID. is quieter on the inside up to a speed of 30 km/h and can be heard a little more clearly outside. The artificially generated vehicle noise makes the almost noiseless electric drives audible for pedestrians and cyclists. It sounds when the vehicle is moving off, when reversing and at speeds of up to 30 km/h. At higher speeds, the rolling noise of the tyres is sufficiently loud that an additional acoustic signal is no longer necessary.
Convenient charging
Charging your Volkswagen ID. model is now even more convenient: with Plug & Charge, the new standard for convenient charging. Simply drive up to the Plug & Charge charging station and insert the cable. Log in, charge, pay – it all takes place automatically. You can continue your journey free of stress.
Driver Assistance Systems
Park Assist Plus: Your Volkswagen with optional Park Assist Plus can not only tell you whether a parking space is big enough as you drive by – it also parks for you.
Up to a speed of 40 km/h, Park Assist Plus permanently searches for suitable parallel parking spaces. Up to a speed of 20 km/h it also searches for parking bays. Once you have decided on one of the parking spaces found, you start the parking process, with Park Assist Plus carrying out the parking manoeuvre for you. You only have to monitor the parking process and intervene if necessary.
But Park Assist Plus can do even more. It can also drive out of a parallel parking space again and can help you with a failed parking manoeuvre by completing the process for you.
Memory function for Park Assist Plus
If you opt for Park Assist Plus with memory function, you can now also teach your Volkswagen very individual parking manoeuvres. For example, to park in a carport or garage. You only have to park your Volkswagen once and save the parking process. Afterwards, your Volkswagen can repeat the learned parking manoeuvre on its own. All you have to do is monitor the process and intervene if necessary.
Keeps track for you. And the others at a distance: With the optional Travel Assist, you have an extremely useful driving assistant on board. It can keep you in your lane, maintain a minimum distance to the vehicle in front and the maximum speed you have set.
One of the features it uses to do this is adaptive lane guidance. This actively keeps the vehicle in the middle of the lane. Travel Assist adapts to your driving style and can also drive further to the left or right in its own lane instead of exactly in the middle.
In addition, Travel Assist can actively support you when changing lanes on the motorway if desired.
If swarm or mass location data is available, Travel Assist needs to recognise only one road lane marking in order to keep the vehicle in its lane.
In addition, Travel Assist has predictive cruise control and cornering assistance.
Here, the vehicle speed can be adapted to applicable speed limits as well as road layouts (bends, roundabouts etc.).
Connectivity: The digital connection to your ID.7
Volkswagen’s connectivity offerings give you more convenience and entertainment. Connecting your ID.7 to the internet and your smartphone helps you get to your destination in a more relaxed way – the only thing you still have to do is drive.
Connect with your ID.7
The We Connect digital services turn your ID.7 into a connected car, since it is online on demand via the permanently installed SIM card. We Connect Plus provides near real-time information about traffic conditions and charging stations with availability status and opening hours. You can download, install and update additional digital products for your ID. via the In-Car Shop.
In addition, the We Connect ID. app for your smartphone provides you with important information about your ID. at a glance even when out and about: for example, you can check the remaining range and whether all doors and windows are closed. You can conveniently start and stop charging processes remotely and adjust the air conditioning to your individual preferences.
The right track. And up-to-date.
Software updates are already familiar from the computer or smartphone. Now with over-the-air updates, your ID. can remain up to date too.
New software versions can be downloaded simply via a mobile data connection as soon as you confirm the update on the infotainment system. This continuously improves operation, performance and comfort and new functions can even be added.
Infotainment and entertainment for every occasion
Would you like to be able to use your smartphone apps conveniently in the car? App‑Connect makes this really easy to do. It enables you to use selected apps and content in your Volkswagen. They are transferred wirelessly to the infotainment system display with Apple CarPlay or Android Auto from Google and can be operated easily and clearly within your field of vision. This makes it incredibly easy to access music, news, maps or audio books, for example.
Play instead of wait
Any wait time in the ID.7 feels like an entertaining break with the “Games” in-car app. Various 1990s-style classics, for example, make charging go by in a flash. Whether Solitaire, Chess or the car racing game “VW Go” – everyone is a winner thanks to the 30.5 cm (12 inch) screen of the infotainment system.
The “Games” in-car app does not come preinstalled but can be installed free of charge via the In-Car Shop. To do this you need a Volkswagen ID user account and a main user with valid VW Connect licence.
Customise later
Your ID.7 comes with a number of functions that can be activated as upgrades.
The range of functions available depends on the vehicle and model and can be viewed in the In-Car Shop and web shop.
