The Volkswagen ID. Aero becomes the new Volkswagen ID.7, the new member of the ID family. We have known it before its official presentation at the CES fair in Las Vegas 2023
New Volkswagen ID.7. This is the name of the one that was even known as Volkswagen ID. Aero and which has now been presented at the CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas 2023, the largest electronics and technology fair in the world and has effectively replaced the Detroit Motor Show as the first show of the year to present the novelties of the automobile world.
The new Volkswagen ID.7 becomes the sixth electric model in the ID family. which joins the Volkswagen ID.3, VW ID.4, VW ID.5, VW ID.6 (only present in China at the moment) and the newcomer VW ID. Buzz and that VW’s electric offensive is part of the ACCELERATE strategy.
“With the new ID.7, we complete the high-end of our portfolio of electric models. The saloon will offer the highest technology and quality. The ID.7 is one of the ten new electric models that we will launch between now and 2026. Our goal is have the right offer for our customers in each segment”, said Thomas Schäfer, CEO of the Volkswagen brand.
The electric Volkswagen ID.7, which is based on the MEB modular electric propulsion platform and will be the electric equivalent of the Volkswagen Passat, is a saloon that measures 4.94 meters long, 1.86 meters wide and 1.53 meters high, although the most important data refers to the battle, with 2.97 meters, which ensures great interior habitability.
Although due to the special camouflage – which has 40 layers of paint, which are sometimes conductive and other times insulating. 22 separately controllable areas of the vehicle are electrified (electroluminescence) under the top coat of paint so they light up – you can’t make out their shapes, but the VW ID.7 has a little more aesthetic spice than the rest of the world. the ID range.
Although there are millions of pages written about tastes, to a server the aesthetic proposals of the already former director of VW Design Klaus Zyciora –formerly Klaus Bischoff– did not end up attracting his attention, the truth is that the ID.7 improves what is present.
And this taking into account that the Volkswagen ID.7 is a saloon, a body type with fewer and fewer followers except in China and the United States, two of its main markets, where, in addition, it will compete with the Nio ET7 and the Tesla Model. Yes, respectively.
Above all, it is the Tesla saloon that the electric future of Volkswagen has in its sights.
On the other hand, it must be borne in mind that the saloon bodywork is precisely the most suitable for an electric car, since its shapes help reduce aerodynamic resistance and, therefore, promote greater electric autonomy.
Without knowing the battery capacity data yet, we do know that the Volkswagen ID. 7 will have a range of up to 700 km (WLTP).
Most modern and innovative interior
We have also been able to see the interior of the VW ID.7, which will be much more modern and innovative than its range brothers.
In this sense, the new electric saloon of the ID. Volkswagen launches a new screen concept with dimensions of 15 inches and, like other models in the range, it will have an augmented reality head-up display.
Although the most innovative will undoubtedly be its intelligent air vents (Smart Air Vents), which will be able to recognize the driver who approaches the car with his key, so that the car’s management system begins to cool the passenger compartment. on hot days or warm it up on cold days.
The Smart Air Vents of the VW ID.7 also have a new design, they control the air flow and move dynamically to distribute it over a large area as quickly as possible.
Check the price of your new tires
If you need new wheels, this website calculates the best price for new tires for your car, van or motorcycle.
Likewise, they can be activated by voice command and tell the VW ID.7 assistance system “Hello Volkswagen, my hands are cold”, and the system will start the steering wheel heating and the warm air will flow specifically to the hands.
It will be in the second half of 2023 when the world premiere of the future Volkswagen ID.7 is held, and then we will be able to know its final appearance without camouflage and all the data.
