Video Summary
- The Volkswagen ID.7 GTX Tourer is an electric station wagon with a 91-kilowatt-hour battery and plenty of space.- Big SUVs are not needed; instead, this car offers ample space for families and hobbies.
- The car features a ski opening, an “Anhängerkupplung,” and all-wheel drive.
- This car offers what the Inster does not provide.
- The battery reports 85 kilowatt-hours.
- The infotainment interface can be clumsy, lacking a back button.
- The display shows outside temperature of 4 degrees Celsius.
- While testing the range at 120 kilometers per hour, it was discovered that when the temperature was 5 degrees Celsius, there were 87 percent of battery left, providing a range of 442 kilometers.
- At a stop, the kilowatt-hour per kilometer consumption went up, due to being stationary.
- The car has a battery optimizer, which, at 71 percent battery, provides 76 kilowatts, and if preheated for 20 minutes, provides 86 kilowatts.
- In 19-degree-Celsius temperature, 154 watt-hours were consumed per kilometer.
- The front motor may add some resistance that causes extra electric consumption.
- At 15% battery, there were 78 kilometer left.
- As a last note, the video review points out the car's "piano black" interior pieces as a design flaw.
- It takes 24 minutes for an optimal temperature and it has a 185 KW power for this EV when on a charger station.
- The tested car had a net capacity of 84.6 kWh (kilowatt hour).
- In contrast, another tester driving the EV showed it took only 137 Wh/km. for range.
- The horn on this EV was not appreciated by the reviewer.
- Charging the car showed roughly 200 KW power at an IONITY station.
- Overall, the video shows that this EV offers the latest technology and range, but it is not as efficient as other EVs, and that you must drive it under various parameters and scenarios for various results.
