First Drive Review of the 2025 VW ID.7: Another electric sedan among the sea of SUVs
The company experimented with big, boxy cars with flat-six engines positioned in the back, much like the engine that drove the first Porsche 911, in the early 1960s. Internally referred to as the EA 128; this model is still in prototype. but in 2002, spotted the magnificent Phaeton. After development and testing, the second version of Phaeton was scrapped. Equipped with an electric vehicle-specific modular platform, Volkswagen redesigned its flagship model from the ground up.
The 2025 Volkswagen ID.7 is not a flagship in the Phaeton sense; it will go on sale in early 2023. Its goal is not to upset Mercedes and BMW owners; that is still Audi's responsibility. Not a Volkswagen flagship, but a VW flagship nonetheless. Interestingly, this is the company's first electric sedan from Wolfsburg.
Two significant advantages will become available when the ID brand's inventory of electric cars includes a sedan. First off, buyers in international markets now have a battery-operated substitute for the Passat-which was previously limited to Europe-and, to a lesser degree, the Arteon. Second, sedans typically have a lower drag coefficient and lighter weight than crossovers, resulting in a greater driving range. During the development phase, engineers focused a lot of attention on increasing the interval between charging stops. With a drag coefficient of 0.23, the ID.7 is in the middle of the BMW i4 (0.24) and the Porsche Taycan (0.22).
The ID.7 has visual cues with current VW EV models, but it isn't an exact replica of the ID.4, for example. Additionally, it isn't retro like the ID.Buzz-that's his own venture. The sharp-looking headlights linked by a light bar, the unusually curved roofline with gray trim, and the rear light bar are its distinguishing features. It may not be a reduced Audi A7, but it does have a nicer appearance than the previous Passat.
In the second half of 2024, Volkswagen dealers around the nation will begin receiving the ID.7. Pro and Pro S are the first two trim options that buyers can select from. Although the price hasn't been disclosed, it makes sense to believe that the entry-level model will cost roughly $50,000 without incentives. As a result, it will be the priciest brand model in our nation. Very good, in fact.
