Electric business class. Imelda Labbé, Member of the Volkswagen Brand Board of Management, responsible for Sales, Marketing and Aftersales, says: “Together with the ID.7 fastback saloon and the new Passat Variant, the new ID.7 Tourer perfectly rounds off our offering in the upper mid-sized class. It is particularly attractive for frequent drivers and business customers thanks to its generous space and long ranges.”
Tourer as fusion of estate and shooting brake. The ID.7 Tourer differs significantly from the fastback saloon at the rear. The design of the electric estate is characterised in particular by a long roof line. In terms of style, the avant-garde Tourer is a fusion of a classic estate in the format of the Passat and a particularly dynamic shooting brake such as the Arteon. Thanks to the increased height at the rear, the luggage compartment volume is even larger than that of the fastback saloon: with five people on board, and the rear seats in cargo position, ID.7 Tourer can accommodate luggage with a volume of up to 605 litres. When loaded up to the backrests of the front seats and up to the roof, this figure rises to 1,714 litres; in this case, the load area is almost two metres long.
ChatGPT is on board for the first time. The new ID.7 Tourer will be launched with extensive standard equipment, as is shown by the Pro version. Taking Germany as an example: the standard exterior features include LED headlights and LED tail light clusters, diamond-cut 19-inch alloy wheels and roof rails. The interior and technology equipment includes the keyless locking and starting system Keyless Access, luggage partition net, 10-colour background lighting, enhanced augmented reality head-up display, rear view camera system, two-zone automatic air conditioner with smart air vents and heated front seats. The new IDA voice assistant is operated using natural language. Within the system limits, this not only enables control of many vehicle functions, but also answers specific questions on all conceivable subjects by accessing online databases and features new integration of ChatGPT (artificial intelligence, AI). ChatGPT should be available with a time delay. An optional Wellness In-Car-App is also new on board. This allows various vehicle functions to be adjusted via preconfigured programmes to enhance well-being during the journey or breaks.
Optional panoramic sunroof. As for the ID.7 fastback saloon, the panoramic sunroof with smart glass is also available for the new ID.7 Tourer. The transparent roof can be made opaque or transparent electronically by means of a polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) layer integrated in the glass.
