It will go on sale in the US in 2024.
The ID.7 also has the potential to pick up the mantle from the Passat, which has struggled to keep up with the larger, heavier vehicles in VW’s lineup. The Arteon presents as a souped-up Passat, which could open the door for sportier intentions from the ID.7. Perhaps we’ll get an R-Line version somewhere down the line.
And while it may be a sedan, it’s still larger than a Passat or Arteon. The ID.7 is 195.3 inches long, riding on a 116.8 in wheelbase. A 532-liter luggage compartment should be ample room for passengers and cargo alike. And the ID.7 is 73.3 in wide and 60.6 in tall, giving it an overall shape that is longer and taller than a Tesla Model 3.Some of the biggest updates can be found inside the ID.7, where VW has reimagined its cockpit design to include an augmented-reality heads-up display.
The 15-inch landscape oriented screen has a brand new menu system that keeps heating and cooling controls, as well as seat ventilation on display at all times. Haptic sliders beneath the screen control the temperature, while a heated steering wheel can be turned on using voice activation. The ID.7’s sleek shape is designed to reduce drag, improve energy consumption, and give the vehicle a longer stride than others in its class. The shape is unique in another important way: it’s a sedan. While most American automakers have eliminated sedans from their lineup in favor of heavier, higher-riding trucks and SUVs, European and Asian auto companies are continuing to churn out new versions in the hopes of winning over customers who still prefer a smaller vehicle.

Abortion bans raise fears inside GOP about backlash in 2024Leading Republicans are struggling to navigate the politics of abortion as they concede — publicly and privately — that the GOP’s anti-abortion policies are unpopular with the very voters they need to win the presidency. But in Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis, a top Republican presidential prospect, is leaning in. This week, the Florida governor signed into law one of the nation’s toughest abortion bans which would outlaw the medical procedure before most women know they're pregnant. DeSantis’ team is eager to highlight his willingness to fight for, and enact, aggressive abortion restrictions. That's even as other Republican White House hopefuls downplay their support for anti-abortion policies for fear they may alienate women or other swing voters.
