It's looking great. Super efficient, RWD, hatchback and plans for estate version!

 

Though a bit expensive...... the £22k car please, VW.

IMHO this is too big. People say its will appeal to Passat owners, its much bigger. It will turn out to be another Phaeton, great car for a market that doesn't exist. Put the fancy new drive train into the ID.3 and sell millions. Build something smaller VW.

Further to my comments on size, I've checked out the actual dimensions. This car is a FOOT longer than an ID.4, which is not a small car. When the estate version arrives, I expect it will be longer still. Neither the sedan or estate will fit on my drive with another car parked. This is truly limousine type length and probably not needed for most families. I was vaguely interested as an estate version is promised, but not at this size, and most likely price.

Now the new 50% more efficient drive train in my ID.4 might be a game changer though.... hopeful that will come with an ID.4 revamp. Unless VW come up with an ID.3 / Golf EV estate.

Its going to be interesting to see who buys the ID.7.

In the UK it will mostly be Volkswagen buying new ones and leasing them for a couple or 3 years. 

If the demand is not there from the general public they will be buying even more and doing even better lease offers.

I quite like his channel but he is very pro-German cars. Understandable but maybe a bit biased? He really likes Mercedes 🙂

Size wise, the problem with most 400-500 mile range cars is getting enough battery into a given space.

 

I imagine that’s why it is a big car.

Looks like Skoda are putting the new drive train and bigger battery into the Enyaq, announcing an L&K Enyaq 85 with more powerful motor and bigger battery.

I'll expect to see it in a facelifted ID.4 soon.
