Video Summary
The Volkswagen ID.7 station wagon with an 82-kWh battery was tested for efficiency. It is rear-wheel drive, with 19-inch wheels.The car has ample space in the back seat and a big boxy trunk with additional space underneath. There are 77 kWh before any losses.
For the 120 kilometers-per-hour test, the car showed auto lane change.
The display also shows an AR head-up display. The consumption goal was to match 191 Wh/km, but it measured 207 Wh/km, though it does have efficient wheels.
While driving, the car feels bouncy. This car lacks dynamic chassis control which is used to adjust damper comfort.
The car weighs 2260 Kg, which is less than the fastback. The 120 test was better. It showed 187 Wh/km and it was also slightly underreported.
For the 90 km/h test, the consumption was a lot lower.
With downhill driving, and a tailwind, the consumption was 125 Wh/km. But that test had a 0.9% underreported distance, which means that the number was actually 137 Wh/km.
Assuming 75.3 kWh, the car has 550 km of range.
120 Wh/km shows 690 km range.
If you choose to get the station wagon, and as long as you choose the 19-inch wheel, it should get the same consumption and have an efficient as the fastback with maybe 20-inch wheels. Overall, both cars are efficient. It's a large family car with space and comfort.
This particular ID.7 version has a reduced feature set. It has massage seats, but lacks pelvic rotation or butt massage.
