Volkswagen ID.7 with a range of 700 km challenges Tesla

Comes with an’autonomy until 700 kilometers the Volkswagen ID.7. The sedan shows the style anticipated by the road on the road concept ID. area. Above all, it is the first from the German company with a head-up display. From augmented reality. The Volkswagen ID.7 was born on the MEB modular platform.

This introduces a number of new features such as the revised traction. The passenger compartment with greater comfort starting with the new seats with climate control and massage function. There is a new climate control system with interactive smart vents.

She is the legitimate heiress of Volkswagen Passat. It measures almost 5 meters. There ID.7 Volkswagen’s design continues to reach into the 2030 80% sales represented by electric models.ù

We previewed the Volkswagen ID.7 and tell you how it is

Volkswagen ID.7, let’s get the numbers

Now let’s get the numbers. The Volkswagen ID.7 is a notchback 4,961 mm long, 1,862 mm wide without exterior mirrors, with a wheelbase of 2,966 mm and a height of 1,538 mm.

While for aerodynamics, the Cx is around 0.23 based on the set-up. Decisive and clean lines is the new style of Volkswagen ID.7. The front is closed. At the front, the LED headlights stand out with the narrow LED strip for daytime running lights and indicators integrated in the upper area. At the rear we find a LED band that extends outwards to the optical groups.

Volkswagen ID.7, comfortable interior and full technology

Surprise, the first impact of the interior of the Volkswagen ID.7 is given by large 38cm touch display (15 inches) of the infotainment system. The graphical interface and menus are revisited and made intuitive. While the cockpit is simple, intuitive and customizable.

In the ID.7 thanks to the latest software version, it will be possible to control further functions via the IDA voice assistant: among the available functions, the dimming lights, the selection of the driving profile or the request for information (based on the cloud) on the weather or common sense knowledge.

The assistant vocal interpreta what is being said. For example. Asking ‘show me the stars’ Volkswagen responds by making the ‘intelligent glass’ panoramic roof transparent. The transparent roof, thanks to the pdlc layer (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) embedded in glass, can change its state from transparent to darkened and vice versa. The glass can be darkened by touch controls in the console of the imperial or via the voice assistant. To switch the glass from clear to dark, the electronic PDLC layer is de-energized.

The crystals in the layer arrange themselves to darken the glass. If, on the other hand, an electric voltage is applied to the layer, the crystals arrange themselves in such a way as to allow light to pass through again. For the ID.7 Volkswagen will offer a 700-watt Harman Kardon sound system as optional equipment, which features 14 high-end loudspeakers with a front center speaker and subwoofer in the trunk.

Volkswagen ID.7. the electric drive

The ID.7 is available in equipment versions and Pro and Pro S engine. The first model is produced on meb platform with a new drive developed by Volkswagen. The system essentially consists of the electric motor (synchronous with permanent magnets), the 2-stage single speed gearbox and the pulse width modulation inverter (power and control electronics).

There are innovations such as the rotor with more powerful and even more heat-resistant permanent magnets, an improved stator with more effective windings with maximum wire cross-section, a cooling jacket for the outer side of the stator and a new combined oil and water to ensure even greater thermal stability, ensure benefits on the performance and efficiency of the electric motor. To all this is added a new pulse width modulation inverter which guarantees thermal stability.
