VW ID.7 arrives as Volkswagen's electric grand tourer, pairing a low-slung, aerodynamic silhouette with a calm, understated interior that prioritizes comfort and space. It’s a sensible choice for buyers who want a relaxed, high-tech cruiser that covers motorway miles with poise rather than bravado.

It is a super comfortable car with a charging from 10-80% in less than 20 minutes. This car is also a very economic car as it is fully electric.
