The 2025 Volkswagen ID.7 encourages car shoppers to reconsider the car versus the crossover. The latest and longest offering in VW’s growing ID family of electric vehicles honors the classic touring car and modernizes it for the electric age. Standard with a head-up display, available with excellent massaging seats, and styled like an Audi fastback, the ID.7 also points Volkswagen into the premium segment.
After driving it through the hills of southern France beyond Marseille, the only remaining question about VW’s intent for the ID.7 is how much of it will migrate over to the North American market. Thearrives in the U.S. in the second half of 2024 with either single-motor rear-wheel-drive or with dual-motor all-wheel drive powertrains, both fed by a 77-kwh usable battery pack (82 kwh gross). VW wouldn’t commit to bringing the larger 85-kwh battery pack offered in Europe to the U.S. We won’t know pricing or trims until next year, and our driving impressions are limited to the rear-wheel-drive mode
