Car Review Volkswagen ID7 All Electric Fastback By Sue Cooke If you are considering buying an all electric powered car, Volkswagen has provided an easier choice with three new e-mobility tools on the VW website. The tools provide information on the range, charging times and running costs, model by model and according to each person’s own driving profile. Visitors to the site, select their model, trim and battery size, then use on-screen sliders to adjust factors such as weather, driving style and charging locations to see instantly how owning an electric vehicle compares with petrol and diesel alternatives. The Volkswagen ID7 which I road tested this week is one of the best all electric cars I have driven this year. Volkswagen’s first all electric upper mid sized car is the brand’s top of the range ID model, offering outstanding efficiency. The 77kW battery has fast DC charging and a projected driving range of about 383 miles. The exterior of the fastback has an aerodynamic design with an elegantly sloping roof and coupe profile. Interior space is exceptional but the five metres body length means the ID7 will overhang a regular parking space. Doors, which open where they are put, close with a soft muted quality note. Once inside the luxurious cabin the ID.7 is really impressive. The last radio station played and the last destination visited are shown on start up, waiting for instructions. High quality materials and the smooth ultra quiet cabin give a very relaxing journey. Slide behind the steering wheel into the remembered seat position and the front dash instantly lights up. No bothering with inserting an ignition key, pressing a start button or flipping the manual brake off. It has already happened, automatically. Drive or reverse is engaged with the gear stick behind the steering wheel and the front seat belts slightly tug on the shoulders to let the driver and passenger know the car is ready to go. A line of blue light sequentially moves across the dash as you indicate left or right. The front seat is very comfortable and there is an option if the ergoActive premium seats are chosen to have a massage function, other relaxation programmes and automatic air conditioning. The very large 15 inch infotainment screen, centre dash, gives very clear and easy to use instructions for the sat nav or media. I like the head up display in the windscreen which shows the approach to a roundabout and a number which states which exit you leave at. As you get nearer to the exit, two arrows appear in the head up display indicating an immediate turn. Under the screen the centre console has a large storage area, wireless charging and good size bottle holders. Best in class assistance systems include Travel Assist which helps change lanes at speed and automatic parking with memory function. I like the new panoramic sunroof with Smart glass which changes from opaque to transparent using touch control. Voice commands will also operate the roof and other functions. The Volkswagen ID7 has a beautifully smooth ride, accelerates quickly, and is so quiet. The all electric Fastback would be my car of choice but to find your own preference you can visit the VW website and try out the three e-mobility tools online https://www.volkswagen.co.uk/en/electric-andhybrid/should-you-go-electric/simulator-tools.html Facts at a Glance Model: VW ID.7 fully electric Fastback Price on the road: from £51,550 Power: 77Wh battery Range: up to 383 miles Performance: 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds and on to a top speed of 112 mph CO2 emissions: Zero g/km
