Volkswagen names price of ID.7 Tourer

Volkswagen’s ID.7 Tourer will go on sale from the 18th April priced £52,240 on the road. Just one variant will be available initially – the Pro Match, with the Pro S and a high-performance GTX versions set to go on sale in the summer of 2024.

​The ID.7 Tourer differs significantly from the hatchback at the rear. Thanks to the increased roof height, the ID.7 Tourer has a luggage capacity of up to 605 litres with the rear seats in place or 1,714 litres with them folded. This is bigger than the recently-revealed BMW i5 Touring.

The newcomer has a forecast range of 374 miles with the 77 kWh battery in the ID.7 Tourer Pro Match, which can be charged at up to 175 kW. The Pro S model is set to have a larger 86 kWh battery with a projected range of about 425 miles and charging at up to 200 kW. The sporty GTX all-wheel drive model will have the 77 kWh battery.

The equipment on the Pro Match includes 30-colour ambient lighting, heated multi-function steering wheel, Discover Pro navigation system, an enhanced augmented-reality head-up display and a rear-view camera.

An optional panoramic sunroof with smart glass is also available for the ID.7 Tourer. The transparent roof can be made opaque or transparent electronically by means of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer that is integrated in the glass.

The all-new dash and infotainment architecture – first seen on the ID.7 fastback – comes with a high-definition 15-inch screen and the latest Volkswagen operating system.

The new IDA voice assistant is operated using natural language and voice commands. This enables control of many vehicle functions and it can answer specific questions on a variety of topics, aided by online databases and, in future, AI technology via ChatGPT.

The ID.7 Tourer is equipped with the same electric drive system as the hatchback model
