The Volkswagen ID.7 is gaining new variants with more power, longer range, and sporty design. Volkswagen unveiled the new ID.7 GTX, its most powerful EV yet. It’s also launching the ID.7 Pro S pre-orders with up to 440 miles (709 km) WLTP range.
Volkswagen launches new ID.7 GTX, three other trims
Volkswagen added the ID.7, the sixth member of its ID series last year. VW’s ID family now includes the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.6, and ID.Buzz.
After launching pre-orders last August in Europe, Volkswagen said the ID.7 was available in two trims, the Pro and Pro S, starting at around $62,000 (€56,995). The base Pro, powered by a 77 kWh battery, provided up to 385 miles (621 km) WLTP range.
Volkswagen said the Pro S would launch later with a larger battery and more range. It also teased a sporty dual-motor AWD GTX trim.
The new ID.7 GTX was officially revealed as Volkswagen’s most powerful EV this week. With up to 335 hp (250 kW), the sporty electric fastback can sprint from 0 to 62 mph (0 to 100 km/hr) in 5.4 seconds.
Volkswagen is launching pre-sales for the ID.7 GTX on Thursday (June 6), with prices starting from $68,700 (63,155 euros).
Meanwhile, pre-sales for three other ID.7 models will also start Thursday, including the ID.7 GTX Tourer, ID.7 Pro S, and ID.7 Tourer Pro S.
