The Volkswagen ID.7 midsized electric sedan made its worldwide debut today, revealing the next model to use the company’s modular electric drive (MEB) platform. The ID.4 SUV was the first to use that EV platform in the U.S., and it will soon underpin the retro-flavored ID.Buzz minivan.
The ID.7 uses a new electric drivetrain, with a 282-hp electric motor paired with a two-stage, one-speed transmission. A lithium-ion battery is packaged in the floor with a 77-kilowatt-hour capacity and a 170-kW charging capability. A larger 86-kWh version may be offered later. Made in Germany, the ID.7 goes on sale in 2024.
Cost: $45,000-$55,000 (estimated)
