ID.7 Tourer, the electric station wagon according to Volkswagen

In a very autumnal livery, Volkswagen introduces its first fully electric station wagon, the ID.7 Tourer.

Volkswagen reveals the first photos of the family estate, still in camouflage, of the brand’s flagship fully electric model, the ID.7, and takes the opportunity to unveil its name: ID.7 Tourer. The new model will be launched in Europe in 2024. It will be characterized by spaciousness and increased efficiency. Volkswagen will reveal the final design in the coming months.

Volkswagen is among the main manufacturers of station wagons worldwide. For over 60 years, the brand has offered family wagons previously known as Variant or Shooting Brake (as in the case of the Arteon). With the new ID.7 Tourer, the brand provides an initial glimpse of its first fully electric estate, which will debut in 2024.

High efficiency thanks to optimized aerodynamics. The aerodynamics of the lines is a valuable asset for ensuring long range. The ID.7 sedan, which has already been presented and is being launched in Europe, is a Volkswagen model benefiting from optimized aerodynamics, with a drag coefficient (c_x) of 0.23. The c_x of the ID.7 Tourer is very similar: 0.24^. The unique camouflage wrapping the car for the early autumn season hints at the sleek and powerful design of the extended hatchback version.

In harmony with the season, the camouflage patterns match the colors associated with early autumn; the QR codes at the rear blend perfectly into the camouflage.

With shortened overhangs and an elongated wheelbase, the carefully finished cabin offers generous space. With five occupants, the trunk volume can reach 545 liters, with loading up to the height of the rear seat backrest. Folded down, the cargo volume, over a nearly two-meter-long surface, can reach 1,714 liters.

Like all models in the ID. family, the new ID.7 chassis is based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform. The advantages of the modular system with short overhangs and long wheelbase benefit the interior layout. Result: an elegant, high-end hatchback version offering spaciousness and increased trunk volume.

Like the ID.7, the ID.7 Tourer will be produced at Volkswagen’s factory in Emden. After the ID.4, the ID.7 is the second model based on the MEB platform to be manufactured in northwest Lower Saxony (Germany).
