Dynamic space gliders. With the ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer, Volkswagen is offering two electric Gran Turismo models: The drive system and running gear provide extremely dynamic performance. At the same time, both ID.7 models offer a very high level of travel comfort. Thanks to a new 86-kWh battery, these parameters are complemented by long WLTP ranges of up to 595 km (saloon) and up to 584 km (Tourer).The short charging times (maximum 200-kW charging capacity⁵ at DC charging stations), effortless drive system power, plenty of space for the driver and four passengers, high quality, very good comfort features and the long ranges make the dynamic saloon and the estate ideal cars for longer trips – with plenty of stowage space included. With five adults on board, the ID.7 GTX can carry up to 532 litres of luggage; the fully occupied ID.7 GTX Tourer has a capacity of up to 605 litres (rear bench seat in cargo position).

New drive and battery system. On board the two ID.7 GTX models, an electric drive motor with 80 kW powers the front axle and a second motor with 210 kW the rear axle. Both are combined into the 4MOTION all-wheel drive system. Both motors are powered by a new lithium-ion battery – Volkswagen’s largest to date, providing an energy content of 86 kWh (net) as described above. The new battery is charged with up to 200 kW at DC quick-charging stations. Thanks to the high charging capacity, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 26 minutes under ideal conditions. A quick coffee break while taking on board enough energy for the final stage of your journey? No problem at all: with full DC charging capacity, enough power for another 205 km³ is charged in 10 minutes.

Distinctive GTX exterior. The new ID.7 GTX models also showcase their sportiness in their visuals. The front has been given a new, distinctive bumper in a GTX design with a honeycomb grille. All black elements, including the side sills and the equally distinctive lower section of the rear bumper, are finished in high-gloss black. Also black: the complete roof area of the saloon and the estate. The dark-tinted windows in the rear perfectly match this colour scheme. These exterior features are optionally available for the Pro and Pro S models. The new 20-inch Skagen alloy standard wheel is exclusively reserved for the GTX models. Also available for the GTX models: the new 21-inch Mataró alloy wheel (optional equipment). As described, both ID.7 GTX models are equipped with IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights, LED tail light clusters including a dynamic turn signal and illuminated Volkswagen logos at the front and rear. The light design is customised by GTX-specific daytime running lights at the front.

Individualised GTX interior. The interior of both ID.7 GTX models is enhanced by features such as heated seats with red piping and contrast stitching as well as perforated red-lined GTX lettering in the front seat backrests. The seat centre panels and outer surfaces are finished in fabric, while the seat inner bolsters, shoulder areas and head restraints are covered in ArtVelours Eco microfibre material. Another GTX-specific feature is the multifunction steering wheel with red centre trim, a trim element with GTX lettering and red decorative stitching. The lighting design in the GTX interior can be customised by means of 30-colour background lighting – the colour shades naturally include a red that is particularly well-matched to the GTX equipment.

Intelligently networked systems. The standard equipment in all ID.7 models includes details such as the enhanced augmented reality head-up display (active navigation from a mobile phone connected by means of Apple CarPlay or Android Auto is now integrated into the augmented reality route display), App-Connect Wireless for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, the IDA voice assistant with the integration of ChatGPT, a three-zone automatic air conditioner (Air Care Climatronic), the keyless locking and starting system Keyless Access and an anti-theft alarm. Also standard: assist systems such as lane keeping system (Lane Assist) and lane change system (Side Assist), the new exit warning system (warning about traffic approaching from behind when exiting the vehicle⁶), oncoming vehicle braking when turning and swerve support, Active Cruise Control (ACC), Dynamic Road Sign Display, rear view camera system and Park Distance Control.

Optional IQ.DRIVE assist systems package. The range of assist systems can be optionally extended with the IQ.DRIVE package. It includes the latest version of Travel Assist (Connected Travel Assist with online data^7/8) for assisted lateral and longitudinal guidance including assisted lane changing and other systems. These include Park Assist Pro⁸ for assisted driving into and out of parking spaces, a remote parking capability using a smartphone (with the Park Assist Pro app)⁸, a memory function^8/9 for Park Assist Plus (automated driving into a parking space over a distance of up to 50 m, automated driving out of a parking space up to 25 m) as well as the 360-degree Area View. ⁹

New apps for wellness¹⁰ and gaming. The Wellness In-Car App is new for the ID.7 range. It offers preconfigured programmes that adjust various vehicle functions to improve well-being while driving or during breaks. Depending on vehicle equipment, the app does this using features such as the background lighting, sound, air conditioning, the optional panoramic sunroof with smart glass and the specification-dependent seat air conditioning and seat massage functions. The new AirConsole¹¹ gaming platform will provide enjoyable entertainment, for example, when charging or during a break. Volkswagen is expanding the existing range of on-board games here. The on-board games are permanently installed in the infotainment system and are controlled by the touchscreen and multifunction steering wheel. The new games on the AirConsole gaming platform are streamed online to the infotainment display, which is transformed into a games console. A smartphone serves as the controller. This means GTX passengers can also compete against each other with their smartphones – just like at home with a games console and controllers. Volkswagen expects to launch AirConsole in the first few European countries starting from mid-September. By the turn of the year 2024/2025, it is planned to extend the offering by several more games for even more European countries. In parallel to the ID.7, ID.5, ID.4 and ID.3 product lines (from ID. software 4.0), AirConsole will also be available for the new Passat, new Tiguan, the new Golf and new Golf Estate.

Notes:

5. Maximum possible charging capacity. The charging behaviour of different charging stations can differ, even if their kW capacity is the same. In addition to a charging station’s kW output, the maximum charge current also influences the amount of energy that flows. Furthermore, the ambient temperature, battery temperature and charge level influence the maximum possible charging capacity. The specified maximum charging capacity is calculated under WLTP conditions at a temperature of approx. 23 °C and a charge level from five per cent. If these variables change, the charging capacity may deviate from the specified standard value

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
