    A good looking ID model - wow. This is for me, the most successful ID to date. It's clean, modern and looks high quality. You can definitely sense the effort VW have put into the 7 to get rid of the ghosts of the other models. The seats and dash layout looks super nice - my only quibble is that I am not a fan of the 'massive iPad screwed to the dashboard' approach of the centre screen - I prefer something smaller and more integrated. Other than that, great looking car and definitely looks worthy of the VW badge. Its just very very expensive in my opinion.

    Why not have one 1️⃣ large rear felt/textile floor mat in the rear? Now, it’s two separate with a big space in between, as if they had taken them from an ICE car with a transmission tunnel.
    Even the ICE Peugeot 508 SW from 2011 has one 1️⃣ floor mat for all three rear seats for its flat floor, which was kind of unique for an ICE in 2011.

    I'm in the market for a wagon.
    Starting price of €9000 extra over the Passat, hmmm... That's a lot to overcome with nergy costs, especially for apartment dwellers. Many Passat buyers seems to be one-car-households without a driveway or other private charging possibility.
    The batteries being kind of small despite the hefty premium also doesn't help it as a business or road tripping car. In an idential overall length Lucid Air you get up to 118 kWh and a 280 liter (!!!!) frunk. VW is just not really trying to offer customers the best possible. Slap some parts together, OK to waste 280 liters of frunk space, and charge 9000 over a Passat, obedient consumers will buy whatever we tell them to.

To me BEVs need to earn their existence on merit not stories and scary emotions. Drive well at a good price. Diesels are lovely to drive but I see upsides for plugins and BEVs as well. They're not being subsidised a lot anymore. 86 kWh is €9000 in cells only. Motors are cheap compared to to engines and gearboxes. I don't see great value in BEVs. No inductive changing even, still!

    Thomas, the BMW i4 actually outsold the Model 3 in H1 2024 in Germany and even the EQE came close. Cosidering midsize/executive EV sedan prices, I'd say go cheap (Model 3 SR) or full-size (ID.7 Touring). Anyway, competition is always good for consumers. With ID.7, i5, EQE as well as the upcoming A6 (plus foreign imports Model 3/ET5 and 7/Seal etc), we'll finally see options in this segments.

    So when you lift your rear off the seat, _the car_ toots... That's unique! :D
    Seriously now though, this looks real nice actually. Fairly restrained design, quite well thought-through, rather German overall, I must say. In a positive way. I wish VW a lot of success selling this one. :)

  •  2 месяца назад

    I really like it.
    The design is great, with great proportions (which can't be said about the new Passat). The turning circle is awesome! That's the same as a mk7.5 Golf Variant, which is a smaller car.
    I love how it has the old non electric cargo cover in the boot, and not that gimicky electric one. The rear seat look fine and with that tilted postion they solved the classic knees in your face seating postion as seen in the new A6.
    The front is okay too, apart from the capacitive buttons on the steering wheel and the lack of 4 window switches fro the driver.
    One question came up in my head with these new infotainment screens. Do they have the screen turn off feature from the older systems?
    Power is okay, and I hope there is a way to maybe turn off all traction to have some fun. A drifting electric VW wagon would be pretty funny I think. :D

    I sat in and drove and ID7 a while ago. Honestly the space is really good and the general feel is a huge step up from an ID4, but the interior build quality is still not fantastic. A lot of the materials feel quite thin and hollow, not nearly as sturdy or substantial as something like an i4 or Zeekr 001 or even Tesla model 3.
    You keep mentioning the felt covering being more premium than what BMW does lately, which is fair as I would like them to use it again. But I do feel that you forget to mention that VW (and many brands) drop the ball with general material quality lower down.
    BMW tends to have soft touch materials all the way down, around glove box area, and the area around the door bins is also often softer plastic as well. This is where VW and others apply hard scratchy nasty plastics instead.

    For me, at the moment - a few years still off buying my first EV, it’s between this ID7 T (SMLR) and the equivalent A6 e-tron Avant. But obviously £60k+ is a big pill to swallow… probably buy one 2 years old, and save about £20-25k on initial depreciation!

    @malcolmhedges7346 3 месяца назад

    It's an interesting point re the driving dynamics. For years part of the USP of a luxury car was the smoothness of the drivetrain and the lack of noise, all things that are pretty much standard with a BEV drivetrain. So whilst electrification is a no brainer for that class of cars there's also a potential threat when mass market cars can deliver those same qualities with a BEV platform. Or in other words, why pay silly money for a 5 series BEV when you can get so much of that experience for a lot less. Ultimately badge snobbery will come into play but once legacy manufacturers match production efficiencies of the Chinese, who are selling BEV's for less than ICE in their home markets .... the everyday person will reap the benefits.
