Really interesting VW product, well done

This as a wagon will be extremely popular here in Europe.

Kyle, when she claimed 10-80 % in 25 min. you missed out to ask if this is with new cells or a SW update for the SK battery.

This video made me more excited about the ID.7. I can't wait until it gets here

I have an ID.4 and looking forward to the ID.7 as our second EV. I hope we get the larger battery as it will be great for road trips from the Bay to LA.

it will sell well. next year they will introduce the station wagon version. maybe not that popular in north america but europeans like station wagons. some companies need cars that have a longer range but do not break the bank. the ID.7 might fill that gap.

Hi kyle there is also manual preheating button same screen where you can see charging speed. But now battery was warm so it dosen't show it.

Thanks for the review, seems the Volkswagen people are catching up! Impressive!

Great videos, any plans on coming to the U.K while you are in Europe?

Have owned several Passats and a 2021 AWD ID.4 in New England. I would buy the ID.7 with the larger battery and AWD. Hope those are available in the US at launch instead of having to wait until a second release. Informative review-Thanks

Definitely need sedans, especially ones that are actually full-sized. So VW gets points for making that good decision. The ID.7 is on my list of contenders for the next vehicle purchase. The only downside is that VWs tend to be overpriced, so I suspect the cost will knock it out of the race.

Nice looking car with well thought out control and User Interface. I say YES to sedans - not all of us are in love with the Stupid Unnecessary Vehicle. 🙂

The id.7 if made in TN with tax credit access could do 50-100k easily for comparison.
