Every VW ID model we’ve tried thus far has disappointed somewhat in terms of cabin design, material quality and infotainment, but the German company has been busy taking on board customer feedback from those earlier efforts, it seems.
The prototype, described as “90 to 95 per cent finished”, feels far more premium inside than we’ve come to expect from electric VWs and that bodes very well for the latest member of the ID family, which is best described as a ‘fastback’, when it arrives in final production form.

Slotting into the top of Wolfsburg’s electric range, the ID.7 makes total sense for consumers, and its lack of direct competition highlights just how lopsided the EV market is right now. But there are issues – take a look around the new flagship, and you’ll find it fixes a lot of mistakes seen on the rest of the ID range. If we’re honest, it also makes at least one of its own – because who is using those Smart Air Vents really?
