ID.7 at a glance (EU)

• Platform / drive: MEB, RWD (single APP550) or AWD (dual-motor GTX). APP550 = 210 kW; GTX = 250 kW. (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• Batteries (usable): 77 kWh (Pro), 86 kWh (Pro S/GTX). (ev-database.org)
• DC charging: Pro 175 kW, Pro S/GTX 200 kW; AC 11 kW onboard. (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• WLTP range (liftback): ~616 km Pro / up to ~709 km Pro S; GTX lower due to AWD power. (Electrifying.com)
• Body styles: Liftback (“saloon”) and Tourer (estate). Tourer boot 605 L (up to 1,714 L), Liftback boot 532 L (up to 1,586 L). (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• 0–100 km/h (approx.): RWD ~6.5 s; GTX ~5.4–5.5 s. (Wikipedia)
• Notable omissions: No V2L/V2H on ID.7. (WIRED)

Trim quick-ref

• ID.7 Pro (77 kWh, RWD 210 kW): 175 kW DC, WLTP ~600+ km, 11 kW AC. (ev-database.org)
• ID.7 Pro S (86 kWh, RWD 210 kW): 200 kW DC, WLTP up to ~709 km (liftback). Record hyper-mile tests far above WLTP are possible but not representative. (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• ID.7 GTX / GTX Tourer (86 kWh, AWD 250 kW): 200 kW DC, ~370 mi/595 km WLTP ballpark; 0–100 km/h ~5.4–5.5 s. (Volkswagen Newsroom)

Known issues & recalls (what to check)

1. Front passenger airbag recall (global, 2025)
   • Defect in the gas generator can reduce protection and, in worst cases, rupture; owners were told not to use the passenger seat until fixed. Campaigns reported across Europe (incl. Norway) and more broadly (16k+ vehicles; models include ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer). Verify VIN and recall status. (heise online)
2. Software bugs (ID. Software 4.x/5.x era)
   • Community and reviewer reports of lingering infotainment glitches, UI lag/oddities, and driver-assist annoyances; VW has iterated updates, but some owners still report issues. Test the exact software version and features on the car you’re buying. (YouTube)
3. Market note (North America)
   • VW canceled the ID.7 launch in the U.S./Canada in early 2025 due to market conditions. Not a technical problem, but relevant for parts/press coverage and cross-market comparisons. (Car and Driver)

Buyer checklist (used or new)

• Run the VIN for recalls (airbag campaign closure) and confirm latest software version has been installed. (vw.com)
• Charge test: Verify DC curve behaves as expected (Pro ~175 kW peak; Pro S/GTX ~200 kW) and that AC 11 kW works on a 3-phase wallbox. (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• Range reality: Expect strong efficiency on Pro S, but WLTP is idealized; your Swedish winter range will be lower—factor in heat pump spec and tyres. (VW’s own efficiency runs far above WLTP were controlled tests.) (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• Space needs: If you want max cargo, the Tourer is the one (605–1,714 L). Liftback offers 532–1,586 L and no frunk. (Volkswagen Newsroom)
• Feature fit: If you need V2L/V2H, note the ID.7 doesn’t offer it; consider alternatives (e.g., Hyundai/Kia 800 V models). (WIRED)
