REVIEW: Volkswagen has set its sights on Tesla with the new ID 7 electric saloon - we find out if the American giant should be worried

Its definitive styling was subsequently previewed under an illuminated QR-code-inspired disguise at last year’s Los Angeles motor show, where Volkswagen also confirmed the ID 7 name.

The initial single-motor, rear-wheel-drive Pro and Pro S launch variants confirmed for the UK receive a newly developed electric motor . Mounted within the rear axle, the AC synchronous unit delivers considerably more power and torque than the motor used in RWD versions of the ID 4 and ID 5, at 282bhp and 402lb ft. The boost in output is achieved through a revised rotor, an updated coil design and a new external water heat sink.

Suspension is via MacPherson-strut and multi-link set-ups, with an optional Dynamic Chassis Control Plus system adding adaptive damping. A 700W, 16-channel, 14-speaker Harmon Kardon sound system is an option, as are Ergoactive 14-way electrically adjustable front seats with heating, ventilation and massaging functions.

Too expensive; Tesla aiming for 20 million sales from 2030 so will only be cutting prices which means this car starts from the wrong place.

Hopefully obsolete before it arrives.

It can’t, just by looking at the prices. It will cost more than a Genesis G 80 electrified. Why should I buy that?

They’ll get there. They need to stop being so penny pinching with their interiors.

Tall cars 😭

Isn’t the ID5 a saloon?
