The 2025 Volkswagen ID.7 will be here soon, and the automaker recently outlined specs for the upcoming electric sedan. VW will offer it in two configurations with up to 335 horsepower and said that pricing details will be available closer to the vehicle’s launch in the third quarter of this year.


Buyers will be able to choose from two ID.7 trims, including the Pro S and Pro S Plus. An 82-kWh battery is standard, and rear-drive models get 282 horsepower and 402 pound-feet of torque. The available all-wheel drive variants will sport 335 horsepower.


Volkswagen equips 19-inch wheels and illuminated logos. Keyless access with proximity sensors and a power tailgate are also standard. The ID.7 is a large sedan and will be available with adaptive dampers to keep the hefty body in check. Pro S models get 20-inch wheels.


A 15-inch infotainment display with an augmented reality head-up display comes by default, and the car gets a panoramic glass roof with electrochromic tinting. The feature lets the driver “frost” the glass without the need for a shade or cover. A heated steering wheel and 12-way heated front seats are also on board the Pro S trim, along with massaging and memory features for front passengers. The Pro S adds a 700-watt Harman Kardon sound system with 14 speakers and a subwoofer.


Standard safety tech includes VW’s IQ.Drive software, which brings semi-automated driving functionality, parking distance sensors, forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure alerts, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts.

  • Alan Well, it will take 30 years to fix Nissan up after the Renault Alliance reduced Nissan to a paltry mess.I think Nissan will eventually improve.
  • Alan This will be overpriced for what it offers.I think the "Western" auto manufacturers rip off the consumer with the Thai and Chinese made vehicles.A Chinese made Model 3 in Australia is over $70k AUD(for 1995 $45k USD) which is far more expensive than a similar Chinesium EV of equal or better quality and loaded with goodies.Chinese pickups are $20k to $30k cheaper than Thai built pickups from Ford and the Japanese brands. Who's ripping who off?
  • Alan Years ago Jack Baruth held a "competition" for a piece from the B&B on the oddest pickup story (or something like that). I think 5 people were awarded the prizes.I never received mine, something about being in Australia. If TTAC is global how do you offer prizes to those overseas or are we omitted on the sly from competing?In the end I lost significant respect for Baruth.
  • Alan My view is there are good vehicles from most manufacturers that are worth looking at second hand.I can tell you I don't recommend anything from the Chrysler/Jeep/Fiat/etc gene pool. Toyotas are overly expensive second hand for what they offer, but they seem to be reliable enough.I have a friend who swears by secondhand Subarus and so far he seems to not have had too many issue.As Lou stated many utes, pickups and real SUVs (4x4) seem quite good.
  • 28-Cars-Later So is there some kind of undiagnosed disease where every rando thinks their POS is actually valuable?83K miles Ok.new valve cover gasket.Eh, it happens with age. spark plugsOkay, we probably had to be kewl and put in aftermarket iridium plugs, because EVO.new catalytic converterUh, yeah that's bad at 80Kish. Auto tranny failing. From the ad: the SST fails in one of the following ways:Clutch slip has turned into; multiple codes being thrown, shifting a gear or 2 in manual mode (2-3 or 2-4), and limp mode.Codes include: P2733 P2809 P183D P1871Ok that's really bad. So between this and the cat it suggests to me someone jacked up the car real good hooning it, because EVO, and since its not a Toyota it doesn't respond well to hard abuse over time.$20,000, what? Pesos? Zimbabwe Dollars?Try $2,000 USD pal. You're fracked dude, park it in da hood and leave the keys in it.BONUS: Comment in the ad: GLWS but I highly doubt you get any action on this car what so ever at that price with the SST on its way out. That trans can be $10k + to repair.
