VW ID7 Pro 1000 km challenge

Really looking forward to you testing the ID.7 Pro S. Faster charging, ~10% more capacity. Should be some 10 minutes faster at least.

When I remember the worst charging speed of my ID3 1st Edition VW learned a lot in the last 4 years. A really good car and it’s so boring to read some comments with always the same message that Tesla can do it better blablabla…. people should recognize that the EV World can in the meantime offer other cars than Teslas which are competitive and will bring more people to EV mobility.

Great test, Bjørn! I own an ID7 and will keep the car for as long as possible. Have done 14000 km now. I did a round trip from Lillestrøm to Karlskoga a few weeks ago, which is about 560 km. Didn’t go slow at all; set the cc at 130 in the 110 and 120 zones. Roughly 20+ over everywhere. Charged for 15 mins in Karlstad while eating a burger, that was it. The average consumption was 19,4 if I remember correctly. Arrived home with plenty of juice in the battery. All in all, it is like you say: very efficient car, lot of equipment for the money. And now you will get even more bang for the buck with the new gtx.

Nice test! Would love to see the pro s tourer. Would also really love to see the Xpeng G9 LR in summer conditions

ID7 looks interesting, VW is gaining experience in the EV game

Thanks for another great video. Maybe in the future you should be called VW Bjørn😉😉

This is really a very decent car with plenty of room. VW came a long way here, but they are fixing all tje things: Software, charging, power...Packaging and comfort have always been good. With the new bigger battery this one is an awesome car for a fair price - given the value und made in Europe under fair circumstances. I just don't like the looks so much and will go for the A6 instead

I like to watch the Tesla vs VW battle in the comments. 😅 The worst enemies. 😎

Good bit of investigation on the battery cooling when the door is open... you might have thought VW testing would have picked that up? Should be a quick fix though 😊

as a company, we are switchting away from Teslas to VWs (mainly ID7s) due to various reasons: -our employees are way more happy with them due to all the features, space, increased comfort etc -the difference in efficiency in real world use (especially in winter) is actually smaller than expected -we (hopefully) get less discussions with the leasing company about production defects the leasing company tries to blame us for when returning the car. -last but not least, they are way cheaper to lease. not because VWs are incredibly cheap, just because Teslas are ridiculously expensive. so much for the price difference from a company perspective (that's different of course if you buy that car as a private person) i am not dogmatic about different EV brands and VWs are by no means perfect, but that switch was rather easy.... the overall package is just good. not the best in any way, but no real weaknesses either. they just work great in daily use with not too many problems and acceptable TCO.

best ID, best deal for an ID - with no major weaknesses, but also no outstanding strengths - typical Volkswagen. But the intended use also has to be right and it's still too expensive for a family car, but maybe VW has very cheap leasing offers here to boost poor sales, there are at least many immediately available vehicles in stock?!

Thank you for the test I asume with the 86kw battery it will beat the model 3 as it will charge 200kw at peak and the bigger battery will give it probably 50km more range.😊

Thank you for the test!!

Impressive results.

Best EV❤ID7

Hey Bjorn, really like the data overlay on screen. Looks like a good car

Thanks Bjorn for this 1000 kms challenge.

Good efficiency

In the old MEB (Enyaq ...3.0) you could setup climate to start with unlock or with "ignition on". Maybe bug during charging could be avoided with the "ignition on" setting.

Cannot wait for id7 wagon test :)
