Volkswagen’s groundbreaking ID.7 Pro S has set a new benchmark for efficiency, showcasing exceptional performance during an efficiency test conducted in Nardò, Italy. The electric vehicle, equipped with an 86 kWh net battery, achieved an impressive range of 941 kilometers on a single charge, surpassing its official WLTP maximum range of 709 kilometers by 32.7%. The car recorded a remarkably low energy consumption of 9.2 kWh/100 km, comparable to the fuel efficiency of 1 liter of diesel per 100 km. The test was carried out under realistic conditions, with professional drivers navigating at an average speed of 29 km/h, akin to urban traffic scenarios.
The ID.7 Pro S owes its remarkable efficiency to cutting-edge technology and design. Boasting a low drag coefficient of 0.23 and the advanced “APP550” drive system, the vehicle combines powerful performance with unmatched economy. Its rear-axle electric motor delivers 545 Nm of torque, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.6 seconds while maintaining energy consumption as low as 13.6 kWh/100 km under standard WLTP conditions. Furthermore, the vehicle features rapid charging capabilities, allowing it to gain 244 kilometers of range in only 10 minutes, with the battery charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 26 minutes using DC fast charging.
The success of the ID.7 Pro S highlights Volkswagen’s strides in electromobility, positioning the model as a strong contender in the EV market. Designed for both families and long-distance travelers, the ID.7 offers a spacious interior, comfort, and extended range. Sales figures indicate rising demand across Europe, with the ID.7 outperforming the iconic Passat in orders. This milestone signifies the increasing relevance of all-electric vehicles in Volkswagen’s portfolio, catering to the evolving preferences of modern drivers and supporting sustainable mobility solutions.
