Volkswagen has revealed the ID.7 Tourer, the estate version of its new fully-electric fastback saloon.
The ID.7 Tourer is one of the first all-electric estate cars in the upper mid-sized class, and is expected to arrive in Ireland during the latter half of the year ahead of the 251-plate introduction.
One of the standout features of the new ID.7 Tourer is its range. It will be available with two battery sizes, with the top-of-the-range version expected to achieve WLTP ranges of up to 685 kilometres.
According to Volkswagen, the largest battery is designed for a maximum charging capacity of up to 200 kW at DC quick-charging stations. At this power level, the German automaker says the battery can be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in "significantly less" than 30 minutes.
Space is also said to be generous. Thanks to the increased height at the rear, Volkswagen says the luggage compartment volume is even larger than that of the fastback saloon: with five people on board, the ID.7 Tourer has a luggage capacity of up to 605 litres (rear seat backrest in cargo position ). When loaded up to the backrests of the front seats and up to the roof, this figure rises to up to 1,714 litres.
The new ID.7 Tourer will be launched with innovative technological features, including an augmented-reality (AR ) head-up display equipped as standard. This projects information relevant to the journey into the driver’s field of vision, so their eyes can stay focused on the road. At the same time, Volkswagen says the AR head-up display changes the cockpit architecture because it allows classic instruments to become compact.
Other features include a new automatic air conditioner, optionally available seats with pressure-point massage and air conditioning, and a new 'Wellness In-Car' app.
