The 2025 Volkswagen ID.7 will be here soon, and the automaker recently outlined specs for the upcoming electric sedan. VW will offer it in two configurations with up to 335 horsepower and said that pricing details will be available closer to the vehicle’s launch in the third quarter of this year.


Buyers will be able to choose from two ID.7 trims, including the Pro S and Pro S Plus. An 82-kWh battery is standard, and rear-drive models get 282 horsepower and 402 pound-feet of torque. The available all-wheel drive variants will sport 335 horsepower.


Volkswagen equips 19-inch wheels and illuminated logos. Keyless access with proximity sensors and a power tailgate are also standard. The ID.7 is a large sedan and will be available with adaptive dampers to keep the hefty body in check. Pro S models get 20-inch wheels.


A 15-inch infotainment display with an augmented reality head-up display comes by default, and the car gets a panoramic glass roof with electrochromic tinting. The feature lets the driver “frost” the glass without the need for a shade or cover. A heated steering wheel and 12-way heated front seats are also on board the Pro S trim, along with massaging and memory features for front passengers. The Pro S adds a 700-watt Harman Kardon sound system with 14 speakers and a subwoofer.


Standard safety tech includes VW’s IQ.Drive software, which brings semi-automated driving functionality, parking distance sensors, forward collision warnings, automatic emergency braking, lane keep assist, lane departure alerts, adaptive cruise control, and blind spot monitoring with rear cross-traffic alerts.

  • Tassos Under incompetent, affirmative action hire Mary Barra, GM has been shooting itself in the foot on a daily basis.Whether the Malibu cancellation has been one of these shootings is NOT obvious at all.GM should be run as a PROFITABLE BUSINESS and NOT as an outfit that satisfies everybody and his mother in law's pet preferences.IF the Malibu was UNPROFITABLE, it SHOULD be canceled.More generally, if its SEGMENT is Unprofitable, and HALF the makers cancel their midsize sedans, not only will it lead to the SURVIVAL OF THE FITTEST ones, but the survivors will obviously be more profitable if the LOSERS were kept being produced and the SMALL PIE of midsize sedans would yield slim pickings for every participant.SO NO, I APPROVE of the demise of the unprofitable Malibu, and hope Nissan does the same to the Altima, Hyundai with the SOnata, Mazda with the Mazda 6, and as many others as it takes to make the REMAINING players, like the Excellent, sporty Accord and the Bulletproof Reliable, cheap to maintain CAMRY, more profitable and affordable.
  • GregLocock Car companies can only really sell cars that people who are new car buyers will pay a profitable price for. As it turns out fewer and fewer new car buyers want sedans. Large sedans can be nice to drive, certainly, but the number of new car buyers (the only ones that matter in this discussion) are prepared to sacrifice steering and handling for more obvious things like passenger and cargo space, or even some attempt at off roading. We know US new car buyers don't really care about handling because they fell for FWD in large cars.
  • Slavuta Why is everybody sweating? Like sedans? - go buy one. Better - 2. Let CRV/RAV rust on the dealer lot. I have 3 sedans on the driveway. My neighbor - 2. Neighbors on each of our other side - 8 SUVs.
  • Theflyersfan With sedans, especially, I wonder how many of those sales are to rental fleets. With the exception of the Civic and Accord, there are still rows of sedans mixed in with the RAV4s at every airport rental lot. I doubt the breakdown in sales is publicly published, so who knows... GM isn't out of the sedan business - Cadillac exists and I can't believe I'm typing this but they are actually decent - and I think they are making a huge mistake, especially if there's an extended oil price hike (cough...Iran...cough) and people want smaller and hybrids. But if one is only tied to the quarterly shareholder reports and not trends and the big picture, bad decisions like this get made.
