The Volkswagen ID.7 will be VW’s first fully-electric sedan and while its reveal is slated for later in 2023, some details have been confirmed.

Volkswagen will be showcasing the new ID.7 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas. Its essentially the Wolfsburg-based brand’s first fully-electric sedan which is underpinned by the new modular electric drive matrix (MEB) platform.

The camouflage complete with QR codes is still present, but the basic shape of the vehicle is there, giving you some idea of what it will look like. “With the new ID.7, we are extending our electric model range into the upper segments. The sedan will offer top-class technology and quality. The ID.7 is one of ten new electric models that we are planning to launch by 2026. Our goal? To deliver suitable products for our customers in every single segment,” says Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.

Interestingly, Volkswagen says it has responded to customer feedback and improved certain areas. Think of the criticism levelled at the brand over the capacitive touchpads, user experience and lack of physical buttons. The new ID.7 is said to feature an augmented reality heads-up display, new 15-inch screen, new ventilation controls and illuminated touch sliders. Of course voice control is standard, and you can say things like “Hey Volkswagen, my feet are cold” and the car will take the appropriate action.

Mechanically, the ID.7 is claimed to have a range of around 700 km based on the WLTP cycle. This is achieved by some trick aerodynamics and a low drag coefficient, allowing it to slip through the air easier. With a wheelbase of 2.97 metres (a bit more than a BMW 3 Series), the ID.7 interior should be spacious.

It’s good to see the sedan design not completely dead in favour of a high-riding SUV or crossover. The new Volkswagen ID.7 will be revealed in the second quarter of 2023.
