Top marks for the new ID.7:
five stars in the Euro NCAP safety rating

The Euro NCAP safety assessment is based on the results in four categories. The ID.7 achieved the best result in the 'Occupant protection for adults’ category with a rating of 95 per cent. Likewise, the ID.7 achieved excellent results for ‘Occupant protection for children’, ‘Protection of unprotected road users’ and the driver assist systems available as standard.

Good marks thanks to driver assist systems
Alongside occupant protection, Euro NCAP also examines how well automatic emergency braking systems can protect vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists in the event of an impending collision. The testers additionally attach great importance to other standard assist systems. The ID.7 Pro has the following systems on board:

• Oncoming vehicle braking when turning and swerve support
• Driver Attention Monitor and Driver Alert System
• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
• Travel Assist, Lane Assist and Emergency Assist
• Memory function for Park Assist
• Autonomous Emergency Braking Front Assist with Pedestrian and Cyclist Monitoring
• Park Assist Plus including Park Distance Control
• Side Assist, Rear Traffic Alert and exit warning system
• Area View including rear view camera system
• Dynamic Road Sign Display

Another technology that every ID.7 in Germany has on board is Car2X. This allows the vehicle to communicate with other vehicles and the traffic infrastructure to exchange information about local hazards.
