discovery of the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer 2025: test, price, and configuration options

It seems that in 2025, the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer is supposed to revolutionize the world of electric station wagons. As if we needed another proof that the future is desperately trying to convince us that cars without exhausts are not necessarily boring. So, hold on tight, here comes a test in Clarks style, complete with its share of mechanical aberrations and little marvels well hidden under this big bourgeois roadster vibe.

Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer 2025: Range to Make Skeptics Green with Envy

Are you tired of running out of power halfway, leaving your electric vehicle to turn into an expensive garden sculpture? The Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer responds to this conundrum with a battery capable of offering up to 688 km of WLTP range. That's even more than a caffeine-fueled marathon runner at full tilt. Three powertrains are available: two Pro versions at 210 kW (286 hp), which accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in about 6.6 seconds, with batteries of 77 or 86 kWh. The latter ensure impressive range, between 604 and 688 km depending on the variant.

But don't think the sporty GTX version is just for show. No, it delivers a hefty 340 hp thanks to its combination of front and rear motors – a propulsion that transforms this station wagon into an electric GTI, capable of reaching 180 km/h (glass ceiling imposed). Its range? A respectable 583 km, proving that you can be fast without breaking the bank.

The Evident Choice of a True Electric Grand Tourer

With an average consumption measured at 22.7 kWh/100 km in temperatures flirting with zero, the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer surprises. Don't expect an energy guzzler; it smoothly devours kilometers, covering over 500 km under optimal conditions. As for charging, forget about endless hours in the rain. The more generous versions can recharge from 10 to 80% in just 26 minutes thanks to charging capacities of up to 200 kW. At this rate, you have plenty of time to tan at the pump… or almost.

Performance and Handling: The Station Wagon That Doesn't Pretend to be an SUV

On the scales, it weighs between 2,191 and 2,336 kg, which is quite a mountain to carry. Yet, Volkswagen has pulled a fast one by offering a slightly elevated driving position, but not in the manner of an SUV that’s glued to your neck. No, here we stay in the realm of a classic station wagon, with a hint of agility thanks to pure propulsion or all-wheel drive on the GTX.

Result? A lively steering, cornering that never falters, and a biting front end. Volkswagen proves that dynamism and habitability are not incompatible. You can even have a bit of fun, which is as rare as it is enjoyable in this segment. A little cherry on top, the electronics ensure that the station wagon never falters in its role as a family car: it’s impossible to completely deactivate the ESP. Safety first, rest assured.

Price of the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer: Between Reasonable Luxury and Indispensable Options

Let's get down to business: how much do these little wonders on wheels cost? In Belgium, the range starts at €61,165 for the Pro version with a 77 kWh battery, climbs to €63,565 for the Pro S equipped with the large battery, and peaks at €72,365 for the sporty GTX. Three trims are offered: Standard, Sport Edition, and Business Premium, although the GTX must do without the sporty version.

Finally, don't expect Volkswagen to give away options. The heat pump, essential for tackling Belgian winters in silence and without fear of draining the battery, is an extra €1,000. Ah, the sweet irony of having to pay for basic comfort in 2025.

If you're curious to see how this German innovation fits into a booming electric market, note that Volkswagen is now surpassing Tesla in Europe in electric vehicle sales, celebrating a new golden age for the brand. For all the juicy details, head over to this latest report or its versions in several European languages, to enrich your automotive culture for the day.
