The GTX equipment in detail

Everything on board. In addition to the custom visual exterior and interior features, the extended GTX standard equipment package includes the following: the electric all-wheel drive (4MOTION), DC charging with up to 200 kW, a specifically tuned chassis, sporty progressive steering, IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, LED tail light clusters with dynamic turn signals, dark privacy glass in the rear, 20-inch Skagen alloy wheels with diamond-cut surfaces (front tyres 235/45 R 20, rear tyres 255/40 R 29) and 30-colour instead of 10-colour background lighting. Like the Pro and Pro S models, the GTX versions also come with standard details such as an augmented reality head-up display, App-Connect Wireless for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, IDA voice assistant, two-zone automatic air conditioner (optional: three-zone automatic air conditioner Air Care Climatronic), the keyless locking and starting system Keyless Access and an anti-theft alarm.

State-of-the-art assist systems. Both ID.7 GTX models are equipped with a wide range of state-of-the-art assist systems as standard. These include the lane keeping system (Lane Assist) and lane change system (Side Assist), the new exit warning system (warning about traffic approaching from behind⁶ when exiting the vehicle), oncoming vehicle braking when turning and swerve support, Active Cruise Control (ACC), Dynamic Road Sign Display, rear view camera system and Park Distance Control. The optional systems include the new Park Assist Pro with Park Distance Control, the memory function for Park Assist, the enhanced Connected Travel Assist with online data and Area View. All these optional systems can be configured with one click by selecting the IQ.DRIVE assist systems package. The systems in the IQ.DRIVE package in detail:

Connected Travel Assist with online data. The familiar Travel Assist function (including Lane Assist, Active Cruise Control (ACC) and Emergency Assist) has been enhanced and connected even more closely with online data. The name of the system has therefore been changed to Connected Travel Assist with online data. The latest version responds in an even more human-like way than the predecessor system and offers assisted lane changing on motorways⁶. The system adapts the vehicle speed predictively⁶ – also before bends or roundabouts. Connected Travel Assist with Online Data accesses the anonymised driving data of hundreds of thousands of other Volkswagen vehicles online in a backend. As soon as this data is available online, the new Connected Travel Assist with online data⁶ can, for example, keep the vehicle in lane even without detectable lane boundaries and adapt the speed even more perfectly to the course of the road.

Park Assist Pro and memory function. The basic function of Park Assist Pro is a system that is already familiar from other Volkswagen models and allows assisted parking⁷ in parallel or bay parking spaces. Assisted driving out of parallel parking spaces⁷ is equally possible. The ID.7 GTX and ID7. GTX Tourer take over control of acceleration, braking and steering for this purpose. The memory function⁹ is new. With this feature, the system records the last 50 metres driven and thus the parking situation. The parking manoeuvre can be stored when the ID.7 has come to a stop. When the Volkswagen reaches this position again, it automatically offers to take over parking.⁶ Independent driving out of a parking space⁶ is also possible. Up to five parking manoeuvres can be stored. Remote parking is also new. Using Park Assist Pro and an app of the same name, it is possible to drive the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer into and out of parking spaces remotely from outside the vehicle using a smartphone^6/9.

Area View. All ID.7 models are equipped with a rear view camera system as standard. With the IQ.DRIVE package, the system additionally accesses a camera in each of the exterior mirrors and a camera at the front and uses the data to calculate a 360-degree bird’s-eye view of the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer: Area View. Here, the vehicle is shown from above so that kerbs and parking space markings, for example, can be clearly recognised⁶. It is even possible to look round corners within the scope of what is technically feasible.

6. Within the system limits, the driver must always be ready to override the assist system and is not released from the responsibility of driving the vehicle with due care and attention

7. The driver assist function Swarm data for Travel Assist can only be used within the limits of the system and up to the vehicle’s maximum speed. The driver is solely responsible for driving the vehicle with care and must always be prepared to override the assist system. If the driver intervenes, they always regain full control. The assist function can be activated and deactivated at any time using the button on the multifunction steering wheel. To activate the Swarm Data for Travel Assist service, you need a Volkswagen ID user account and a valid contract term for VW Connect/We Connect (for details, see: https://www.volkswagen.de/de/konnektivitaet-und-mo...). In addition, a separate contract is required for the swarm data, in other words, the online component. You have the option of extending the term subject to a fee after the initial period of use has expired. The online component of Travel Assist is available in the following countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain & Northern Ireland, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The online component of Swarm data for Travel Assist can only be used within the scope of mobile network coverage and with the corresponding privacy settings, and can be deactivated at any time in the app and myVolkswagen.
The online functions, i.e. the swarm data, are made possible by an internet connection integrated in the vehicle. The related data charges incurred within Europe are borne by Volkswagen AG where network coverage is available. Depending on mobile phone tariff, data transfer via the internet may incur additional charges (e.g. roaming charges), particularly if used abroad. The services are available for the agreed contract term and may change or be discontinued during this contract term. Further information is available at connect.volkswagen.com and from your Volkswagen dealership. Information on mobile tariffs is available from your mobile provider

9. To use Park Assist Pro for remote-controlled parking, you will need to download the VW Park Assist Pro app from Volkswagen AG. The terms of use must be accepted in the app before using the function for the first time. The app is designed for iOS devices (iOS 15 or later; iPhone 6s or later). When used with other devices, especially Android devices, there may be limitations in establishing the Bluetooth connection or its stability, depending on the operating system and model of the mobile device. If this happens, it will not be possible to carry out the parking manoeuvre remotely, or else the manoeuvre will be cancelled.
