Volkswagen ID.7 Pro

Overview

The Volkswagen ID.7 Pro swoops in as VW's electric flagship, a sleek liftback designed to munch motorway miles in supreme comfort. It’s gunning for the executive fastback crown, packing impressive tech and a seriously spacious cabin. Key highlights for the Pro trim include its excellent real-world range and VW’s latest, punchier APP550 electric motor. Expect to shell out around €53,995 new for this slice of premium EV motoring in Europe, with early used examples hovering near €44,490, making it a compelling proposition in the electric saloon segment.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the ID.7 Pro, being a fresh face on the market, largely carries over its already impressive kit. The big buzz for the broader ID.7 family in 2025 includes the arrival of the capacious ID.7 Tourer (estate) and the spicier, all-wheel-drive ID.7 GTX. While the Pro trim itself doesn't see radical changes, expect ongoing software tweaks to refine its already slick infotainment and driver assistance systems, keeping it sharp against rivals. It's more about VW fleshing out the ID.7 lineup than overhauling this accomplished Pro model.

Design & Exterior

This VW is a proper looker! The ID.7 Pro boasts a super-slippery, aerodynamic liftback silhouette that’s both elegant and modern, clearly part of the ID family but with a more premium flair. Standard LED lighting carves out a distinctive signature, day or night. The Pro trim rolls on stylish alloys, contributing to its sophisticated road presence. Dimensionally, it's a substantial machine, measuring 4961 mm in length, 1862 mm in width (mirrors folded, of course!), and standing 1536 mm tall, giving it a confident stance on the road.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the ID.7 Pro and you’re greeted by a spacious, minimalist cabin with a premium feel. Material quality is a noticeable step up, and passenger comfort is top-notch, especially with limo-like legroom in the back thanks to its long wheelbase. Luggage? No problem. You get a generous 532 litres of boot space, expanding to a cavernous 1586 litres with the rear seats tumbled. Sadly, no frunk for your charging cables. Tech is dominated by a massive 15-inch central touchscreen and a neat digital driver’s display, with standard wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Performance & Driving Experience

The ID.7 Pro isn't just about comfy cruising; it’s got a surprising turn of pace! Nought to 100 km/h is dispatched in a brisk 6.5 seconds, thanks to its potent rear-mounted Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) churning out 210 kW and a hefty 545 Nm of torque. Being rear-wheel drive, it offers engaging handling characteristics. The ride is beautifully judged – supple over bumps yet composed in the twisties. Regenerative braking is well-integrated, allowing for smooth deceleration and energy recuperation, making for a thoroughly modern and refined driving experience.

Range, Battery & Charging

Running on a 77 kWh (usable) battery pack, the ID.7 Pro offers a very practical Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range estimate of 528 km. Its efficiency is rated at a solid 6.86 km/kWh. For charging, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger will juice it up overnight. Find a grunty DC fast charger, and you can ram in electrons at up to 175 kW, taking you from a low battery to 80% in well under 30 minutes via its CCS Type 2 port, conveniently located on the rear quarter panel.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is sorted, with the Volkswagen ID.7 Pro proudly wearing a full 5-star Euro NCAP rating. It’s packed with digital co-pilots; standard kit on the Pro typically includes Front Assist (autonomous emergency braking), Lane Assist, and adaptive cruise control. VW’s Travel Assist system, which combines adaptive cruise with lane centering for semi-autonomous driving on motorways, is also a key feature, often standard or part of a popular package, making long journeys a doddle. Parking sensors are usually standard, with more advanced Park Assist systems available.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Volkswagen in Europe typically offers a 2-year unlimited mileage warranty for the ID.7 Pro, complemented by a 3-year paint warranty and a solid 12-year anti-perforation guarantee. Crucially for an EV, the high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first, ensuring at least 70% of its original usable capacity. While extensive complimentary maintenance isn't usually part of the EU package, the ID.7 benefits from the reduced servicing needs inherent to electric vehicles, promising lower running costs over time.
