VW ID7 Pro Match is a roomy, comfy and efficient EV with a kit list as long as your arm – but the price lets it down
NOW that is complicated. Often on the end of a automotive's life, it will get a particular edition with metallic paint they usually make it cheaper.
Because they will't sell it.
Guess what?
Volkswagen has completed it at the START of this automotive's life.
Final week the ID7 Professional Launch Version value £55,870 on the VW configurator.
This week the ID7 Pro Match is £51,550 – and it's simply nearly as good for much less cash.
Truly, one may argue the Professional Match is best as a result of it has privacy glass and metallic paint thrown in, whereas the Launch Version doesn't.
So why has VW minimize the worth by £4,320?
Good query.
Presumably because there are rivals out there from Tesla, Polestar, Hyundai, Kia and BYD, all starting with a four.
VW obtained its sums improper firstly.
You possibly can even buy a BMW i4 for £50,755. OK, it's a bit more cramped and doesn't go as far however it's a BMW.
Pricing apart, I appreciated ID7. It's a good place to be. It's roomy, cozy, environment friendly – it's truly one-size-up in comparison with the rival saloons I've referred to – and there's an estate model coming this summer time. That will probably be VW's USP.
This 77kWh battery version has a maximum WLTP vary of 383 miles. More like 300 miles in the actual world.
But the 86kWh Pro S battery turns ID7 into a correct long-range cruiser, nudging 435 miles. You'll have to cease earlier than the automotive does. It could actually recharge to 80 per cent in 28 minutes.
Performance isn't really a problem with electric cars – all of them have on the spot torque – however there's a more highly effective dual-motor GTX within the pipeline. Which will even value more.
As you'd anticipate from a motor costing £50k-plus, ID7 Professional Match has a package listing so long as your arm.
Heated massaging seats up entrance, 15in touchscreen, augmented reality head-up show (blue arrows flash up on the windscreen to information you left or proper, like a computer recreation), all of this stuff, please – and they are all commonplace.
The "play and pause" accelerator and brake pedals, a signature of all ID automobiles, add a bit of fun to a lush and nicely executed cabin.
This check automotive was additionally fitted with a "sensible glass" panoramic roof which could be switched from clear to opaque virtually instantly.
So, that's the ID7 Pro Match. Probably the most completed electric Volkswagen I've driven.
In case you signed on the dotted line for a Pro Launch Version last week, don't ring me. Ring VW.
