APP550 with 210 kW. The ID.7 Pro S and ID.7 Tourer Pro S are equipped with a latest-generation electric drive system, known internally at Volkswagen as APP550. The central module of this high-efficiency drive is an electric drive motor with a maximum output of 210 kW (286 PS) and a maximum torque of 545 Nm. The electric drive motor is integrated in the driven rear axle. It accelerates the fastback saloon from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds; with a time of 6.7 seconds, the ID.7 Tourer Pro S takes just fractionally longer to complete the sprint due to the minimally higher kerb weight (2,239 kg compared with 2,230 kg) and higher drag coefficient (0.25 compared with 0.23). Both Pro S versions are electronically limited at 180 km/h for efficiency reasons.
86 kWh battery and 200 kW charging capacity. The drive motor of the new Pro S models is powered by a new lithium-ion battery – Volkswagen’s largest to date, providing an energy content of 86 kWh (net); the gross energy content is 91 kWh. Compared with the 77-kWh battery of the Pro versions, the 86-kWh battery is equipped with 13 instead of 12 battery modules, among other things. The battery system is integrated into the underbody. In detail, the battery assembly comprises the underbody guard, the all-round frame of the battery housing, a base plate with its own integrated cooling system, the battery modules, a battery management system, a cell management controller, the upper housing section and a network of lines and connectors. The new battery can be charged with up to 200 kW at DC quick-charging stations; in contrast, the Pro models with the 77 kWh battery charge with a maximum of 175 kW.
Low consumption, long range. The ID.7 Pro S and the ID.7 Tourer Pro S are extremely economical. This is due to the new high-efficiency drive and the very good aerodynamics of both models. Depending on the optional equipment and tyre size, a combined WLTP consumption of 16.2 to 13.6 kWh/100 km was determined for the ID.7 Pro S. With a consumption of 13.6 kWh, the WLTP range is up to 709 km. This value reflects the theoretical range as a comparative value – in the same way as for cars with combustion engines. Due to slight differences in weight and aerodynamics, the corresponding values of the ID.7 Tourer Pro S are equally outstanding figures of 16.6 to 14.0 kWh/100 km and a WLTP range of up to 690 km at 14.0 kWh/100 km. The charging times are short: with the maximum charging capacity of 200 kW, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in about 26 minutes. With a charging capacity of 200 kW, energy flows into the battery for a range of approx. 244 km (saloon) or approx. 236 km (estate) in 10 minutes – just the time needed for a coffee break. At a home charging station, the 86-kWh battery is charged from 0 to 100 per cent in around nine hours with a charging capacity of 11 kW.
Faster charging on the go. On long journeys, an innovative charging and thermal management function makes sure the battery is conditioned ahead of the next DC charging stop. Thanks to this electronic preparation, the ID.7 Pro S models are supplied with energy again as quickly as possible on long journeys with one or more charging stops. The battery is heated to the ideal temperature before the charging stop so it can absorb energy with the maximum charging capacity. This enables the charging time to be reduced by several minutes, particularly in winter. When route guidance by the optional navigation system with Electric Vehicle Route Planner is active (function can also be activated subsequently at any time), pre-conditioning is started automatically on the way to the next quick-charging station. Without active route guidance, the function can also be manually activated using the charging menu in the infotainment system. Practical: routes with up to 10 charging stops and 10 stopovers can be planned on a smartphone or on the web portal and then transferred to the infotainment system. The software automatically integrates the ideal charging stops into the route guidance of the navigation system – the driver does not have to search for the charging points first, but only has to follow the suggestions of the infotainment system.
