TheVolkswagen ID.7 is abattery electric car produced by German marqueVolkswagen since 2023.[9] It has a five-doorliftback design and is marketed in theE-segment.[3]
An estate model marketed as theTourer or Shooting Brake was officially unveiled on 20 February 2024.[10]
A wagon variant is in development, as confirmed bypre-production prototypes,[11] serving as the production version of theID. Space Vizzion concept.[12]
The model was first previewed by theVolkswagen ID. Aeroconcept car in June 2022.[13][14]
Unveiled in April 2023, the Volkswagen ID.Next previews the ID.7's sister model for the Chinese market, which will be manufactured bySAIC-Volkswagen, while the ID.7 Vizzion will be produced byFAW-Volkswagen.[15]
A camouflaged near-production version was previewed on 4 January 2023, at theConsumer Electronics Show inLas Vegas.[16][17] The world premiere of the ID.7 took place on 17 April 2023, simultaneously in Berlin and at theShanghai Auto Show.[18] The vehicle replaces both thePassat and theArteon mid-size sedans as the flagship vehicle for the brand. The ID.7 rides on the newly establishedMEB, where it is based on other battery electric vehicles such as theVolkswagen ID.4 and theAudi Q4 e-tron. It is compared toD-segment vehicles such as theBMW i4 and theTesla Model S.[19] VW calls it its most aerodynamic ID series model so far with aCdA=0.23*2.46 m2≈0.57 m2.
The ID.7 is produced inEmden, Germany for Europe, whereas it is built inFoshan andAnting for China.[20] Primarily because the ID.7 is larger and uses a standard rear-wheel drive layout, unlike the previous Arteon and Passat which both had a standard front-wheel drive layout, the ID.7 is positioned upmarket and competes with similar vehicles.[21]
On 19 February 2024, Volkswagen introduced the ID.7 Tourer, anestate version of the ID.7 which measures the same in length compared to the liftback ID.7.[22]
After previously having been confirmed for the North American market, its launch in the United States was delayed and later canceled.[23]

The dashboard features a compact digital instrument display as well as a head-up display with augmented reality functions for satellite navigation and a 380 mm (15 in) infotainment touchscreen in the centre.[24] It is equipped with better software and improved touch controls after Volkswagen received complaints about the system used in its other models.[25] Volkswagen's voice control system has been significantly improved, allowing users to perform complex tasks such as searching for high-speed charging stations using voice commands.[26]
Exterior features include an optional panoramic sunroof with smart electric-chroming to dim, and it can be switched from transparent to opaque that can be operated by Volkswagen's voice commands. A 700-wattHarman Kardon audio system with 14 speakers is optional.Automatic parking is standard, which allows the vehicle to park autonomously from more than 16 m (54 ft). Travel Assist is to come on European models, but it is unknown for the US.[27] The front seats feature a brand new design and offer an optional Climatronic massage and temperature and moisture sensors, which automatically adjust to suit the driver and passenger's needs. The climate control system features active air vent control with smart air vents which ventilate through dynamic movement without blowing air directly into the passenger's face.[27]
