VOLKSWAGENID.7 Tourer 2024 - Present

　　After it introduced the ID.7 Sedan in its lineup in 2023, Volkswagen added the station wagon version for this model and named it the ID.7 Tourer.

　　Volkswagen already had some experience in creating electric vehicles in 2023 when it launched the ID.7 Sedan. Previously, it started producing the ID.3, the ID.4, the ID.6 (for the Chinese market), and the ID.Buzz. Then, in 2024, it unveiled the ID.7 Tourer. Unlike its sedan sibling, this was a station wagon built for families. It could carry five people inside and featured a large trunk in the back. Even if the new version shared its underpinnings with the sedan, it provided some additional features that could make it more appealing to its customers.

　　At the front, the 2024 ID.7 Tourer featured a long LED light strip that visually connected the headlights. It was interrupted in the middle, where the lit VW badge took center stage. The car came fitted with either MATRIX LED or IQ.LIGHT units, depending on the version. Furthermore, the lower side of the bumper was black or body-colored, depending on the grade. But all versions featured the side scoops that formed the air curtain to lower the ID.7 Tourer’s drag coefficient.

　　From its profile, the station wagon boasted its standard 19-inch alloy wheels. As an option, customers could get them with either 20- or 21-inch ones, depending on the grade. The long waistline of the bodywork showed a waved shape above the rear fenders. Up to the B-post, the car looked similar to the ID.7 hatchback, but the rear doors were different. Furthermore, its long roof was extended above the trunk space and ended in a raked-forward tailgate in a shooting brake style. Finally, at the back, the automaker installed LED taillights that were visually connected via a light strip that crossed the tailgate.

　　Inside, customers could find high-quality materials, all recycled or vegan. The steering wheel was wrapped in artificial leather and featured capacitive buttons on it. Fronting the driver was also a small-sized instrument panel that showed some of the car’s most important driving details. In addition, a 15-inch touchscreen adorned the center stack in a free-floating position. But Volkswagen made a step further than many of its competitors and installed a standard head-up display for the entire range. Furthermore, it featured augmented reality, so the one behind the wheel didn’t need to take their eyes off the road to look for directions, change radio stations, or check the car’s speed. The front seats were available with massaging functions. They were separated by a center console that housed a couple of cup holders under a retractable lid and an armrest with a storage compartment underneath. In the back, there was enough room for the split-folding (40/20/40) bench seat that could expand the trunk space from a decent 605 liters to a massive 1,714 liters.

　　For the drivetrain, the ID.7 Tourer carried over the same 286 PS (282 hp) motor from the ID.7 hatchback. It was fed by either a 77 kWh or an 86 kWh (net values) battery pack. Both versions sent their power to the rear wheels only. The ID.7 Tourer was the first full-electric station wagon made by Volkswagen.
