Background lighting. The ID.7 Pro S and ID.7 Tourer Pro S are equipped as standard with background lighting that comprises a spectrum of 10 colours. Background lighting with 30 colours is optionally available that illuminates the trim elements on the dash panel and door trims. The driver and front passenger can activate various pre-programmed light atmosphere modes such as Vitality or Euphoria using the central infotainment display. In addition, the interior lighting is automatically adapted to the respective driving profile.
Harman Kardon sound system. Volkswagen offers a 700 W premium sound system from Harman Kardon as an option. In this case, both ID.7 Pro S versions are equipped with 12 high-end loudspeakers plus a centre speaker at the front and a subwoofer in the luggage compartment. The 16-channel sound system offers four preconfigured sound settings: Pure (neutral studio sound), Relax (easy listening), Speech (focus on spoken words) and Vibrant (dynamic live sound). The sound can be individually adjusted by means of an equalizer. In addition, the listening focus can be directed specifically to one or more of the four outer seats. The driver can therefore adjust the sound focus completely to their seat position when driving on their own, for example. It is also possible to focus the sound towards the rear of the vehicle.
ergoActive seats. The optional ergoActive comfort seats for the driver and front passenger offer luxury-class comfort with electric 12-way adjustment, memory function, convenient entry function and adjustable thigh support. Also integrated: a pressure point massage. The top-of-the-line version – the ergoActive premium seat – additionally features an automatic air conditioning function and an upgraded massage function. The climate control and massage functions are continuously displayed by means of touch controls on the top level of the infotainment system and can also be switched on and off and adjusted there.
- ergoActive comfort seats. The pressure point massage function offers a unique level of comfort on long journeys. The backrests of the ergoActive comfort seats are equipped with 10 air cushions that provide for a pneumatic pressure point massage to relax and activate the muscles in the back.
- ergoActive premium seats. The second version of these seats – ergoActive premium – is equipped with two large, extra air pockets in the seat cushion. The goal here is to additionally activate the pelvis and spine. This innovative function has been awarded the seal of approval by the German Campaign for Healthier Backs (AGR) in the category ‘Activation system for vehicle seats’.
- Active climate control in the ergoActive premium seats. In addition to the individual temperature settings (cooling and heating), the driver and front passenger can alternatively activate an automatic mode. Here, temperature and moisture sensors in the seats detect the cooling and/or heating requirement and control the climate accordingly. Three special modes can also be selected: maximum heating, maximum ventilation or maximum drying. All three modes are activated for a limited time and switch off automatically. In addition, the intensity of the heating and ventilation can be adjusted separately for the seat cushion and backrest. The bolsters of the seat cushion and backrest are also heated and ventilated.
Panoramic sunroof with smart glass. All ID.7 models can be configured with the panoramic sunroof with smart glass as an option. The transparent roof can be made opaque or transparent again from one moment to the next by means of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer integrated in the glass. The switch is activated by touch control in the roof console or by the online 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 becomes opaque. 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. To complement this, layers in the glass reflect heat radiated in the interior, which ensures a very comfortable experience for vehicle occupants, particularly in winter.
Towing bracket and bicycle carrier. Volkswagen offers a swivelling towing bracket for all ID.7 models. The maximum permissible trailer weight is 1,200 kg (braked at 8%), 1,000 kg (braked at 12%) or 750 kg (unbraked), depending on the gradient and trailer version. The drawbar load is 75 kg, ensuring that even e-bikes can be transported. Volkswagen’s Compact II bicycle carrier, which can be folded with a foot switch, can be ordered under the accessories programme. Since the tail light clusters, rails and carrier frame can be folded up, the carrier can be stowed in the luggage compartment.
Base carrier for roof box. Volkswagen has developed a base carrier for the roof of the ID.7 so that items such as skis can be transported outside the vehicle. Furthermore, Volkswagen Accessories offers the Comfort roof box with a stowage volume of 460 litres. Using a feature known as the DuoLift system, this box can be loaded from both sides of the vehicle.
Assist systems. The optional assist 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 systems can be configured with one click by selecting the IQ.DRIVE assist systems package.
Connected Travel Assist with online data. The familiar Travel Assist function (including Lane Assist, Adaptive 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 motorways. The system adapts the vehicle speed predictively – 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 data15 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 parking in parallel or bay parking spaces. Assisted driving out of parallel parking spaces is equally possible. The ID.7 takes over control of acceleration, braking and steering for this purpose. The memory function 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. Independent driving out of a parking space 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 also possible to drive the ID.7 into and out of parking spaces remotely from outside the vehicle using a smartphone.
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: Area View. Here, the vehicle is shown from above so that kerbs and parking space markings, for example, can be clearly recognised. It is even possible to look round corners within the scope of what is technically feasible.
Notes:
15. 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-mobilitaetsdienste/konnektivitaet/we-connect/aktivierung.html). 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.
