Front with GTX bumper. The new ID.7 GTX models can be recognised from the front by their particularly sporty and independently designed bumper. On the left and right, the sides of the aerodynamic front feature new daytime running lights that come as standard – they comprise two LED triangles positioned on top of each other to create an arrowhead shape and are now part of the visual insignia of all the new Volkswagen GTX models. In the central bottom area at the front, there is a gloss-black GTX air intake grille in honeycomb design that identifies both ID.7 vehicles as GTX models. The bumper is aerodynamically designed to combine low aerodynamic drag with a high front axle downforce. Both ID.7 GTX models are equipped as standard with the IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights including Dynamic Light Assist (with features such as automatic continuous high beam, dynamic cornering light, automatic lighting control, poor weather light, welcome function). The front of the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer is also visually enhanced by the illuminated Volkswagen logo as standard.
Rear with GTX honeycomb element and GTX diffuser. At the rear of both GTX versions, horizontal lines emphasise the body width. The most dominant line is a horizontal LED strip, which extends outwards into the wraparound LED tail light clusters. The GTX models are equipped as standard with customisable 3D LED tail light clusters, including a dynamic turn signal function. The Volkswagen logo is illuminated red. The rear of the two most powerful ID.7 models also incorporates individual GTX features. Here, a honeycomb grille extends across almost the entire width of the bumper in the lower area and identifies the fastback saloon and estate as GTX models. A diffuser serves as a finishing element towards the ground. The honeycomb grille and diffuser are visually separated by a narrow red reflector strip. As described above, all black elements have a gloss finish. This also applies to the GTX lettering on the boot lid.
Silhouette with new 20- and 21-inch wheels. Visually, the main distinguishing feature between the two ID.7 GTX models is the area between the C- and D-pillars – specifically their distinct roof lines, side windows and boot lids. A defining style element of both models’ silhouette is the character line located below the long window shoulder with a sharp undercut. This creates powerful and positive tension in the sides of the vehicles. The sides feature the newly designed 20-inch Skagen alloy wheels, which immediately identify the most powerful ID.7 models as a GTX. The GTX wheel rims can optionally be ordered completely in high-gloss black; the standard variant also has black inner surfaces but features diamond-cut and thus metal-coloured outer surfaces. The new 21-inch Mataró GTX alloy wheel is available as an option.
Seven colour variants. As a characteristic GTX colour, the new Kings red metallic paint finish will be available for the most powerful ID.7 models in the product line. The red is a tribute to the paintwork of the first Golf GTI, as the new colour composition references the classic solid Tornado red of the icon. Both ID.7 versions generally feature a high-gloss black finish for the lower body area, the GTX lettering and the roof – including the roof arches, which are in a lighter contrasting colour on the other models in the standard specification. In other words, the roof is always completely black on all ID.7 GTX versions. The exterior mirror housings are also painted black – as on all ID.7 models. As an alternative to Kings red metallic, the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer can be ordered in Glacier white metallic, Aquamarine blue metallic, Stonewashed blue metallic, Scale silver metallic, Grenadilla black metallic and Moonstone grey solid (standard colour).
Panoramic sunroof with smart glass. Both ID.7 GTX versions are available with the panoramic sunroof with smart glass as an option. The transparent roof can be made opaque or transparent from one moment to the next by means of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer integrated in the glass. Switchover is activated by touch control in the roof console or by the IDA voice assistant. The electronic PDLC layer is de-energised when the glass is opaque. This causes the crystals in the layer to arrange themselves so that the glass is no longer transparent. In contrast, as soon as an electric voltage is applied to the layer, the crystals then sort themselves so that light is again allowed to pass through. In addition to this switchable glare protection function, layers in the glass also reflect the energy-rich infra-red rays in the sunlight that would otherwise heat up the vehicle interior in sunny weather. Likewise, the heat radiation from the heating is reflected by the smart glass and thus retained in the interior. This creates a high level of comfort for the passengers, especially in winter.
