Volkswagen is introducing one ID model after the other. The smallest to date, the ID 2 all, is followed by the almost five meter long ID 7, which has now been unveiled in Shanghai. We were able to set off for a test drive in advance.
Volkswagen is expanding its range of battery electric vehicles downwards and upwards. While the ID.2 is to act as the Wolfsburg-based company’s entry-level model for e-mobility from 2025, the ID 7 will already be at the top of the ID family in October of this year. Even before the official world premiere – the ID 7 was officially unveiled today at the Shanghai Motor Show – we had the opportunity to take a closer look at the all-electric upper mid-range sedan and take a lap in the still camouflaged vehicle.
With a length of an impressive 4.96 meters, the ID 7 moves between the almost 20 centimeters shorter Passat Variant, which initially remains in the program for Europe, and the 2016 faded, 5.05 meter long Phaeton. Despite the camouflage, the lines of the limousine, which has a drag coefficient of 0.23 and a low, almost closed front, sloping roof, long rear doors and flush-fitting door handles, are clearly recognizable even on our first test drive.
