The VW ID.7 Hatchback impresses with a Electric engine, 340 HP 708 km and an attractive starting price of 46400 £. Here are all the details at a glance.

The ID.7 looks like a grown-up EV — a stretched fastback that reads as aerodynamic and purposeful rather than showy. At 4,961 mm long its proportions are elegant on the road and the smooth front end, narrow light signatures and a sloping roofline give it a long, slipper-like presence. It’s a design that favours efficiency over flash, which suits buyers who want presence without shouting.
Inside, the ID.7 continues Volkswagen’s tidy, functional approach with clean lines, soft-touch surfaces and a low, desk-like dashboard. The central curved screen and driver display are clear and readable, though physical buttons are scarce so a learning curve exists for climate and quick tasks. Front seats are supportive for long stints and the elevated center console storage and neat door bins make daily usability straightforward.
Space is a strong suit: five occupants fit without feeling squeezed thanks to the long wheelbase and low battery pack that keeps the floor flat. The boot starts at a handy 532 litres and folds to a max of 1,586 litres, which covers weekend luggage or moderate DIY runs with ease. Payload near 460–465 kg and practical touches like wide tailgate opening underline that this is an EV designed for real-world family use.
The ID.7 drives like a long-distance GT rather than a hot hatch: rear-wheel-drive variants (and the stronger GTX all-wheel-drive) deliver composed manners, predictable steering and a comfortable ride. Power ranges from 286 hp in the Pro models to 340 hp in the GTX with torque figures reaching up to 679 Nm, translating into brisk acceleration — roughly 0–100 km/h in 5.4–6.6 seconds depending on trim. Weight is noticeable when pushing hard, but for everyday overtakes and motorway cruising the balance between comfort and agility is well judged.
Efficiency is where the ID.7 makes a tangible difference: WLTP figures quoted are as low as 13.6 kWh/100 km for the most efficient Pro S and around 14.0 kWh/100 km for the Pro, rising to 16.2 kWh/100 km for the sporty GTX. That translates to WLTP ranges from roughly 594 km up to an impressive 708 km depending on battery and trim, which means fewer charging stops on long runs. Batteries sit at about 77–86 kWh usable capacity, so real-world range will vary with speed, weather and load but the ID.7 is notably efficient for its size. Fast charging performance and consumption make it a strong contender for frequent motorway mileage, though curb weights north of 2,180 kg temper economy under hard use.
The ID.7 features Volkswagen’s modern driver assist stack with adaptive cruise, lane keeping, and automated parking aids that work smoothly for motorway and urban use. The infotainment is centred on a wide curved screen with smartphone integration, voice control and regular over-the-air updates, though some controls rely on touch sliders that can be fiddly while driving. Safety tech and comfort features are extensive, making long-distance driving less tiring and routine manoeuvres more confident.
The ID.7 targets buyers who want the comfort and range of a large saloon combined with the practicality of a hatchback — essentially long-distance commuters, small families and company-car drivers. Current line-up covers Pro, Pro S and GTX in rear- or all-wheel-drive guises with outputs from about 286 to 340 hp and WLTP ranges in the region of 594–708 km, so choice depends on whether efficiency or performance is the priority. Those prioritising a compact city EV or a sportier, sharper drive should look elsewhere, but for mileage-focused buyers who value cabin comfort and boot space the ID.7 is a compelling, grown-up EV.
