Comfort and performance of the ID.7 running gear

A high standard of comfort. The ID.7 is a comfortable touring saloon; its balanced damping in combination with the long wheelbase offers a high level of comfort in all driving situations. At the same time, the ID.7 offers spontaneously available agility. The large spread between comfort and agility is possible thanks to the basic layout of the running gear, the enhanced adaptive chassis control (DCC) and an also adapted Vehicle Dynamics Manager. The comfort in the ID.7 is further optimised by new details such as specifically tuned, high-damping elasto-kinematic mounts on the rear axle. In addition, the Volkswagen’s low centre of gravity due to integration of the battery in the vehicle floor also has a positive impact on handling.

MacPherson plus a five-link axle. The basic layout of the running gear consists of a MacPherson front axle and a five-link rear axle. The control system of the optional adaptive chassis control DCC has been refined. The DCC controller is equipped with new Volkswagen software and uses refined algorithms to control the shock absorbers. The system can therefore detect how the wheels and body are moving better than ever before. Thanks to DCC, the driver has the option of adjusting the running gear to a sporty or more comfortable setting by means of the selected driving profile (Eco, Comfort and Sport) and also in Individual mode by means of a slide control. In addition, a new setup of the Vehicle Dynamics Manager – which was also developed by Volkswagen – makes this large spread between comfort and agility possible in the ID.7. The Vehicle Dynamics Manager coordinates and optimises the lateral dynamics as the central control unit and continuously ensures maximum driving stability (when braking into a bend, for example). The steering system was also reconfigured for the ID.7. The new setup responds more directly from the centre position, allowing more precise vehicle control. This further improves Volkswagen’s typical linear vehicle handling. With the optional progressive steering, more dynamic vehicle reactions are possible with smaller changes of the steering angle, delivering even more enjoyment behind the wheel.

The specified fuel consumption and emission data does not refer to a single vehicle and is not part of the offer but is only intended for comparison between different types of vehicles. Additional equipment and accessories (additional components, tyre formats, etc.) can alter relevant vehicle parameters such as weight, rolling resistance and aerodynamics, affecting the vehicle's fuel consumption, power consumption, CO2 emissions and driving performance values in addition to weather and traffic conditions and individual driving behavior.

Further information on official fuel consumption data and official specific CO2 emissions for new passenger cars can be found in the "Guide to fuel economy, CO2 emissions and power consumption for new passenger car models", which is available free of charge from all sales dealerships and from DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH, Hellmuth-Hirth-Str. 1, D-73760 Ostfildern, Germany and at www.dat.de/co2.
