Volkswagen has introduced the ID.7 Tourer, a wagon version of its existing ID.7 sedan, with a larger battery pack for extended range. The ID.7 Tourer promises all the cargo space and range that a road-tripper might need, making it suitable for business travelers and families. The new battery option will also be available in the globally-sold ID.7 sedans later this year.
There’s a popular view among EV skeptics that electric car s might be fine for people who only ever chug a few miles to and from work each day, but are no good for business travelers or families that frequently need to venture further afield. Here’s an EV that begs to differ. It’s the ID.7 Tourer, a wagon version of VW’s existing ID.7 sedan that promises all the cargo space and range that a road-tripper might need.
The big news, besides the additional cargo capacity that comes with the shooting brake back end, is the introduction of a larger battery pack. And we’ll focus on that here first, because while the ID.7 wagon will only be offered in Europe, and not North America, the new battery option will also make it into the globally-sold ID.7 sedans later this year. The base ID.7 comes with the 77 kWh battery that’s been fitted to every ID.7 since launch, but spend a little extra for the ID.7 Pro and you unlock a new 86 kWh power pack that VW estimates it'll be good for 426 WLTP miles (685 km) between charge
