What's New for 2025?

The ID.7 GTX is a freshly minted addition to the Volkswagen lineup for 2025, bringing all-wheel drive and a performance focus to the new ID.7 Tourer (wagon) body style. It benefits from the latest software updates across the ID.7 range, including a much-improved infotainment system with a larger screen and illuminated touch sliders – finally sorting out some early niggles. VW has also integrated ChatGPT into its voice assistant for more natural interactions. Essentially, the GTX package itself is the big news, bundling power, style, and practicality into one slick electric estate.

Design & Exterior

The ID.7 GTX looks the business, transforming the sleek saloon into a properly purposeful estate. Measuring 4961 mm long and 1862 mm wide, it has a commanding presence. The GTX treatment adds a more aggressive front bumper with a distinctive honeycomb grille and signature arrow-shaped daytime running lights. Lashings of high-gloss black trim replace the chrome, and unique alloy wheels complete the sporty look. It’s a handsome, understated design that’s more "fast wagon" than "shouty EV," which will appeal to many. The low roofline (1549 mm tall) maintains a sleek profile.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the GTX gets a sporty makeover with premium seats featuring red contrast stitching and perforated GTX lettering. The cabin is a tech-fest, dominated by a massive 15-inch infotainment screen and a clever augmented-reality head-up display, while the driver's instrument cluster remains minimal. Passenger space is generous for all five occupants. The real trump card is the cavernous boot, offering a massive 605 litres of space, which expands to a van-like 1714 litres with the rear seats folded down. Sadly, there’s no frunk for stashing charging cables.

Performance & Driving Experience

This is where the GTX badge earns its keep. With a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup pumping out a combined 250 kW and 560 Nm of torque, it’s properly quick. The 0-100 km/h dash is dispatched in a brisk 5.5 seconds, delivering that instant shove that shoves you back in your seat. The combination of an induction motor up front and a permanent magnet motor at the rear provides excellent traction. Expect sharp handling and a planted feel, especially with the optional adaptive chassis control, making it feel glued to the road in corners.

Range, Battery & Charging

The GTX packs an 86 kWh usable battery, delivering a Green Cars Compare real-world range estimate of around 496 km, which is plenty for long-distance cruising. It’s quite efficient for a big, powerful wagon, sipping electricity at a rate of 5.77 km/kWh. When it’s time for juicing up, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger will fill it overnight. On the road, it can hammer a DC fast charger at up to 200 kW via its CCS Type 2 port, getting you from 10-80% in well under 30 minutes.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Volkswagen hasn’t skimped on safety, with the ID.7 platform earning a top 5-star rating from Euro NCAP. The GTX comes loaded with a comprehensive suite of driver aids to have your back on the motorway. Standard kit includes VW’s excellent Travel Assist system, which combines adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist for a brilliant electronic co-pilot experience. It also features front assist with city emergency braking and pedestrian monitoring. An enhanced Park Assist Pro with a memory function for automated parking manoeuvres is also available as an option.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

For peace of mind, Volkswagen provides a standard 2-year vehicle warranty with unlimited mileage across Europe. The crucial high-voltage battery is covered for a much longer period: 8 years or 160,000 kilometres, whichever comes first, with a guarantee that it will retain at least 70% of its usable capacity. While VW doesn’t typically offer complimentary maintenance plans in Europe, the reduced servicing needs of an EV compared to a petrol or diesel car will help keep running costs down over the long term, adding to its appeal.
