VW's new all-electric ID7 sedan is sized between a Tesla Model 3 and Model S, and goes into production in June.
as the third Volkswagen electric car available in the U.S. Volkswagen's abrupt pivot to EVs has not been without problems, with MEB vehicles criticized for their poorly executed human-machine interface setup, cheap-looking materials, and relatively modest range and performance. The 2025 VW ID7 tackles those issues head on.
The APP550, which revs to 13,000 rpm, has a new inverter that generates higher phase currents to increase power and torque outputs, and the rotor is now cooled by oil shared with the gearbox. The oil-cooling system also, counterintuitively perhaps, improves the motor's cold-weather performance as it reduces drag on its rotating parts.
Four drive modes—Eco, Comfort, Sport, and Individual—are available, but Volkswagen doesn't offer keen drivers the same level of manual control as some other EV manufacturers, skipping the use of steering wheel paddles employed by other automakers that allow instantaneous changes to the level of lift-off battery regeneration.
The larger screen and different aspect ratio have allowed the addition of two icon bars that run across the display's upper and lower edges. The lower bar is dedicated to the HVAC system and allows functions like front-seat heating and cooling to be initiated without having to dive through several menu layers. One of the icons can be customized to shortcut to a favorite function, such as directing warm air to your hands or cold air to your feet.
