► New VW ID.7 GTX Tourer revealed
► All-wheel drive power, big space
► Fastback version also coming soon
VW is rolling out more of its GTX models, with the new ID.7 Tourer getting the warmed-up electric sub-brand treatment.
It’s been revealed at the same time as the ID.3 GTX, with Volkswagen also officially confirming an ID.7 GTX fastback (which, oddly, wasn’t revealed at the same time as the Tourer) and an ID.Buzz GTX are on the way.
As well as VW claiming its new ID.7 GTX Tourer is the most powerful estate it’s ever built, the Tourer in general is one of the biggest electric estates on the market.
VW’s most powerful estate ever?
According to VW, yep. And it’s a claim that holds up: the ID.7 GTX Tourer benefits from a total of 335bhp via two electric motors – more than a Golf R estate, or even something like the Passat R36 from the late 2000’s. A 0-62mph sprint isn’t quoted, but VW says the ID.7 GTX Tourer can top out at 112mph.
The GTX version comes as standard with an 86kWh battery pack, promising a range of up to 388 miles on a charge. Up to 200kW DC charging is standard, too.
It’s very… red
Kings Red, in fact – just like the ID.3 GTX also revealed. There’s quite a small colour palette available here: red, white, silver or black.
GTX models naturally come with their own slightly sportier bodykit, with a bespoke daytime running light signature at the front and bespoke wheel designs. For the ID.7 GTX, a panoramic glass roof is standard that uses polymer-dispersed liquid crystals to transform the glass from transparent to opaque. And, like the ID.7 Tourer, both the front and rear VW badges glow.
Inside, the GTX model benefits from sporty seats finished in a microfibre-like material and flashes of red in the trimmings.
When can I get one?
VW says orders will open later in spring 2024.
