Background lighting. The new ID.7 is equipped as standard with a background lighting system that offers a spectrum of 10 colours. On request, a background lighting system with 30 colours is available, which lights up the decorative elements on the dash panel and door cladding. The driver and front passenger can activate various pre-programmed light atmospheres 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 for the ID.7. In this case, the ID.7 is 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 also be individually adjusted by means of an equalizer. It is also possible to direct the listening focus specifically to one or more of the four outer seats of the ID.7. 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. For the ID.7, Volkswagen has developed new, optional ergoActive comfort seats for the driver and front passenger with electric 12-way adjustment, memory function, convenient entry function and adjustable thigh support. They also offer a brand new pressure point massage function. The top-of-the-line version – the ergoActive premium seat – also features a new automatic air conditioning function and an upgraded massage function. The climate control and massage functions are permanently 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 new 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. For the first time, the second version of these seats – ergoActive premium – are 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) under 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 for the first time in a Volkswagen. 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. The ID.7 is available with the new panoramic sunroof with Smart Glass as an option. The transparent roof can be opaque or made 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 also reflect heat radiated in the interior, which ensures a very comfortable experience for vehicle occupants, particularly in winter.
Towing bracket and bicycle carrier. The electric ID.7 can be ordered with a swivelling towing bracket. The maximum trailer weight permitted is 1,200 kg (braked at 8%). 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 frame for roof box. Volkswagen has developed a new base frame for the roof of the ID.7 so that items such as skis can be transported. 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.
