This article will delve into a detailed comparison between the VW ID.7 Touring and the Polestar 4. Both vehicles offer cutting-edge technology, impressive performance, and innovative designs aimed at enhancing the driving experience. Let’s explore how these two electric powerhouses stack up against each other.
The VW ID.7 Touring adopts a wagon body style that focuses on practicality and spaciousness. At 4,961 mm in length, it offers an impressive trunk capacity of 605 liters, making it an ideal option for families or long-distance travelers. The overall dimensions allow for a comfortable interior while maintaining a sleek profile.
On the other hand, the Polestar 4 is classified as an SUV, boasting a more robust and sporty look. Measuring 4,840 mm in length, it has a slightly smaller trunk capacity of 526 liters but compensates with a wider stance of 2,008 mm, which enhances driving stability and road presence.
The ID.7 Touring comes with two power outputs: a rear-wheel drive variant producing 286 HP and an all-wheel drive option that ups the ante to 340 HP.

The Polestar 4 also offers a modern interior layout with a tech-centric design. With Google built-in functionality, it provides a seamlessly integrated experience for handling navigation, music, and voice commands. The cabin aesthetics lean towards minimalism with high-quality materials, giving it a distinct Scandinavian flair.
Safety is paramount in modern EVs, and both models come equipped with a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems. The ID.7 Touring includes features such as adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and automatic emergency braking, reinforcing Volkswagen’s reputation for safety.
Similarly, the Polestar 4 features a robust array of safety technology, including advanced sensors and active safety features, solidifying its commitment to keeping drivers and passengers safe.
