The new Volkswagen ID.7 GTX and ID.7 GTX Tourer can be ordered through any Volkswagen UK Retailer from Thursday 1 August. Prices start from £61,980 and £62,670 respectively (on-the-road recommended retail prices, including VAT).

With increased performance from dual-motor technology and dynamic exterior styling, the GTX adds a performance edge to what is already an incredibly well-received and award-winning package.

These GTX models have the same 86 kWh (net) battery as ID.7 Pro S Match derivatives, but the addition of a front motor results in a power increase of 54 PS, to 340 PS. It also means that 4MOTION all-wheel drive is available on the ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer for the first time.

The ID.7 GTX is currently the most powerful electric vehicle from Volkswagen, capable of powering from a standstill to 62 mph in just 5.4 seconds. The ID.7 GTX Tourer completes the same sprint in 5.5 seconds – perhaps unexpected from a car that also offers 605 litres of luggage space with five people on board (when the rear seats are in the cargo position).

Range capabilities remain impressive, with a WLTP all-electric range of 366 miles for the ID.7 GTX and 359 miles for the ID.7 GTX Tourer. The cars can also be charged at up to 200 kW DC, meaning that a top up from 10 to 80 per cent of battery capacity can take as little as 26 minutes.

Exclusive look and equipment
Both new models have the same high levels of luxury and equipment that existing ID.7 drivers enjoy, with enhanced specification over the Pro Match trim that includes 20-inch Skagen alloy wheels, GTX exterior styling, ventilated and heated massage seats in the front and heated rear seats, a Harman Kardon sound system and Volkswagen’s DCC adaptive chassis control system complete with driving profile selection.

Other standard features include IQ.LIGHT LED matrix headlights with illuminated Volkswagen logos at the front and rear, unique GTX daytime running lights, an augmented-reality head-up display, GTX-specific interior styling and Volkswagen’s IDA voice assistant with integrated ChatGPT. Park Assist Pro, which lets drivers control parking procedures using a smartphone, is among a long list of attractive options that are available for both models.
