I have the same ID.7 car, the only difference is that it has a white interior. It's 4 months old and I drove 14,000 km with it. I love it. Many people worry unnecessarily about charging and range. Low consumption and fast charging, long journeys are no problem.
Well. My i4 M50 is at 18,5 kWh / 100 km overall. 30.000 on it. I am pretty sure a Tesla M3P is not extremely more efficient. There a lot of good alternatives on the market already.
My bmw IX1 xDrive30 (dual motor) is at 16kwh/100km in average (16000km) and 15 since june. And I’ve made a lot of highway this Summer. Im very happy with it
@@Bimmer_i4_M50 I had a 2021 m3 LR a while back and drove between Sibiu and Bucharest (Romania) with an average of 117 wh/km. The new LR is even better, and the m3p from 2020-2023 would not be far behind.
Amazing results considering the wheels. Battery life did a test to compare with the 19 inch wheels and got about 40 more km with them. I ordered the 86kwh model, I am very excited to get the car and go on road trips next summer with these results!
@@SoloPerICommenti yes I mean you can still get 40km more with standard wheels and 77kwh battery. It should really go way over 700km with the bigger battery and standard wheels which I ordered :D
@@SoloPerICommenti Congrats! I wanted to but apparently Romania is a third world country and nobody knows when it will be available :/. At least I get the best range possible
@@muramarco01 There isnt any study made afaik. But given the nature of batteries, BMC can manage it up to some point. However, if the battery gets too hot and it is being requested to maintain the high speeds (or if one acelerates and breaks all the time - this is actually the worst), it is possible BMS could not keep up due to energy it would use being already in use by the high speed. A second argument would be: I would believe that the faster you discharge the more often you need to charge (because you use the amount of electricity stored in the battery faster) so then more cycles your battery will require to travel the same distance you would travel if you went slower. It's as if your fuel tabk would slowly rust every time you fuel so then you need to fuel less often so you keep it longer in good shape. If you buy an EV then I guess it is a problem. If you lease it, you might not care. However, recycling batteries has proven extremely difficult if not impossible so the more you care about the environment because you got an EV the more you want to preserve the battery in good shape I believe.
Yes, it pretty much matches our experience during the test days when we had the ID7. The best ID so far, very comfortable to travel, but still has some weaknesses - including the software. So it's not the best choice for our company, as the layout of the vehicle itself isn't ideal for us.
@13:50 Damn, that looks really tight. I had to drive in Norway once on my vacation. Some streets are really narrow. Big respect for dealing with it daily :D
LOL, if you think that's narrow you haven't seen anything. There are many many roads in many European countries narrower than this one. You have to slow down a lot to make sure there's enough space for both cars.
The "plant" at 12:37 is called "reindeer lichen" or "cream cup lichen" in English and hedrenlav in Swedish, I didn't quickly find a Norsk translation (or "Flechte" in German), but "lav" seems to be the familiy name (there are lots of other types of lichen of course) indeed for both, Swedish and Norsk. Lichen / Lav is not a plant, but actually a symbiosis of algae and fungi - and it's an indicator for very good air quality, of which there is plenty in the norsk highlands of course ✌🙂
I hope for you the cars won’t reach much more range than that otherwise you sit 12 hours plus in the car 😂. I am more than happy with my range. My ID.7 has much longer power in the battery than I. Means driving my ID.7 is on par with a Diesel for me. The 2000 km to Stockholm has shown this. I will try the 600 km when time permits later this summer .
The fact that you had to stop multiple times, to pee, and pause a little bit, shows how useless such range is (except in some edge cases, maybe). Thanks for the test! One positive thing about this car, is its efficiency. It would be even better if they reduced the battery capacity (and weight in the same time)
Pish posh, you know diesel drivers always drive 1400km per tank at high speed through Germany with a caravan and 1 pee break from northern Europe to Italy, Spain and what not. So obviously this is not near good enough yet. 🙄
@@speedismyfriend Yeah, and those families all pee in a bottle, and don't eat. Of course.... Whenever I share driving, we still stop for 20 mn, to pee, and grab something to eat, stretch our legs.
Epic trip and great results in that ID7! We were just on a familytrip from Denmark to Oslo via Gothenburg "in da Buzz" and also did a one day trip to Elverum. When we passed "Cle@vage" and "Yes-heim" I thought of you and all the stops you have done in your tests :D Oddly enough the roads in Oslo city are rather bad, especially towards our hotel at Holmenkollen whereas the regular roads further north were way better. How would you rate the ID7 vs ID Buzz when it comes to driver comfort/suspension etc?
What is the verdict on the glass roof? Does it block out infrared? Or is it letting it through and therefore light heats up the interior? Not sure I want constant sunlight coming through the opaque roof out here in California.
We also achieve a consumption of 11.5 kWh per 100 with our ID4 Pro 2022! On the country road, where we are allowed to drive between 70 and 100 km. So not a record value!
When do you try the 86 kWh (net capacity) Pro S and/or GTX? The 77 kWh (net capacity) Pro version is long on the market now. Would be nice to know if 700 km is possible.
why would you need 700 km of range?? just make a 20 minutes break after driving 3 hours and recharge the car for the next 2 or 3 hour tour and thats it. 350 or 400 km is absolut enough - no need for such big and heavy batteries at all!
@@airestockyIt's not necessarily needed, but if you get such a big car as the ID.7 it makes sense to get the bigger battery. If you only need the 77 kWh battery the much smaller ID.4 is the better option imo. And the bigger battery should age better with more range left.
@@airestocky Who said that I want to drive 700 km in one go? Think about people who can‘t charge at home for example. Charging speed, easier having the battery in it‘s recommended SOC (20%-80%) for better battery health, winter conditions or battery aging are other examples. So why not test them?! Also the bigger battery versions will get better used prices. I would consider the big battery when buying a 10 year old car. ;-) See? Many reasons. Even if not, these cars do exist and it would be nice to know if the extra 9 kWh are worth the cost.
Beautiful car on a beautiful route. Maybe you can share some of your routes as a better route planner link? We will go on holiday later this year from the Netherlands to Norway. Would be nice to drive this route. Thx Bjørn
Can you do the same test with a Mach e rwd extended range with 18" rims and Bridgestone tyres apparently just recently it broke the world Guiness record with going like 560miles on a single charge.
Why do so many of these EVs have horrible ground clearance? I'm looking for a station wagon, but the ID7 wagon has a ground clearance of only 15 cm while the V90 Cross Country has 23 cm. I guess it's because efficiency is everything? Will there be an off road version of ID7?
Yeah, it's a tradeoff, more ground clearance gives worse aerodynamics at high speeds and with it less range. My Nissan Ariya has 20cm of clearance and it affects efficiency at high speeds of course.
Velkommen tilbake VW. 100 000 for dyr, men dette er virkelig en start på å komme tilbake i et elbilmarked dominert av Tesla, Kinesiske og Koreanske biler. Håper man begynner med open source programvare og tilrettelegger for vesentlig enklere vedlikehold av bilene. Tesla sin diagnoseorogramvare er håpløst dyr og burde vært inkludert i bilen ved kjøp...
It feels so weird seeing the maps and actually knowing where you are and those places!! Come to Norway on holiday.. I’m actually in Stranda, near Geiranger now while watching this video. Been to Bergen, Ålesund… And passed a few places and suddenly realised : hey!! That’s where Bjorn goes through, etc, like Gol… 😊😊.
Could do almost 600 km without changing in a Tesla model S Plaid recently. Lommedalen (south of Oslo) - Verdal. But people with range anxiety would not have been able to handle it 😂. 30% wet road and no hypermiling (slow driving) even passed several cars.
Where do you get WLTP number of 582km from? When I go in the configurator for this exact car on VW Norway, it displays 611km of WLTP for ID.7 Pro Exclusive
I agree about the rear camera quality; it’s like car models from 15+ years ago 🤦🏼♂️ My personal experience is that VW cars have many problems with flickering/glitching reversing cameras, maybe due to bad connectors, cables, or poor electronics design. The AWB (auto white balance) is like a webcam from the early 2000s. It ruins the car experience, and IMO, it’s also a safety issue, a waste of environmental resources, and a destruction of money because it leads to accidents and damaged cars. It's very unnecessary because I bet a 1 Euro higher-priced camera would be multiple times better. But we don’t have to bother because the Chinese consumers do not tolerate 15+ old technology, parts, cameras, displayes and Chips(ICs), etc., and VW will go out of business or at least be a long way from being the 2nd largest automaker.
@@bjornnyland there should be range update to TESLA Y BYD SR. I have new tesla from 2023 dec. expecting range update to long range (software update). available in US already. not sure when they will release in EU. I really need this range boost in Poland do be honest :( I bought teslay SR based on your review and I think it is a great car but it needs a better range.
Model Y in 2025 new model will have range update. Probably 600km WLTP on the LR version, I am hoping for way more. They can put 100kwh battery pack easily in the model Y instead of 82 net, 75 usable today.
Impressive. But yes, Model 3 highland would kick its ass. I manage to get under 90 Wh/km with sunday driving in summer with the Model 3 SR highland. That equals to around 640 km from a 57,5 kWh battery 🙂
but i would bet that the ID7 with a smaller battery and on 19 inch would also be nice for many people and super efficient - for the size of the car a model Y would also be the realistic comparison
@@WLLiLLW sure, but then the comparison should be with the new refreshed Model Y, probably coming early 2025. The current Model Y is technically a 4 years old car design
It must be said the type rating states the maximum payload is 362kg and towing capacity of 1000kg, which is worse than a Toyota yaris. You cannot ignore these fundamental numbers for a car that is supposed to be for families.
proving a 600km range which is not even a slightest concern for an entry level ICE car that costs 3 times cheaper. and where you can still use air con all the way :) come on, is that the future we've all been looking for?
Yes, average driver drives 50 km/day and normal people eat and drink several times a day even without driving so even less range is more than enough. Faster charging would be more benefit for those people who drive and starves.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 if you are ready to pay 50 or even 60+K EUR to get an average daily range of 50km, stop every couple of hours on your journeys and waste your nerves on being concerned with what battery level you would arrive to the next stop...be my guest. I, for that amount of money, expect a car to be universal, cover all possible ranges and does not bother me with amount of juice left just after I left home 🤣
@@vagitivanov8457 Point was if average driver drives 50 km each day you can drive whole week before you need to recharge when you have 600 km total range. And road trip isn't problem either normal people eat several time a day and you car charge while you eat usually it does it faster than you get your meal and can finish it. I have driven over 11000 km with EV so far, didn't change anything how i drive trips. Biggest difference is that i don't have to use any time for charging and can also charge at home with diesel i had to always go for petrol station which quite often wasn't along my trip to home.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 with an average range of 50km, one would then drive a disel car for 2 weeks without a need to refuel. So it is twice better than an EV. Charge at home is available mainly for people who own their own houses, if you rent an apartment then such charging is rarely an option. And for long road trips the difference is that you HAVE to make stops at locations where car dictates you to rather than you MAY choose to make a stop or not
@@vagitivanov8457 Dunno how diesel is in your country but here you have to pay around 600€ tax each year before you can even drive that alone cost enough to drive with EV more than 4000 km because EV also have tax but much smaller.
We have so many public chargers if you stop for food there are also charger so nothing different when you drove ICE and stopped for food break.
@rare_wubbox360 … with the cheating is like the same with Doping in sport … everyone does it only few got caught … in this case it was VW. And cheating on what? More air pollution? Yeah and of course people bought this cars because they were so clean? LOL. Ridiculous they bought this car because they are so fuel efficient! Period! Not because was so clean. How about the official fuel consumption numbers from the car companies? That’s even more 💩 I don’t know if 5 to 6 litre / 100km diesel is more harmful for the environment than 8 to 10 litre / 100km gasoline?

@@WLLiLLW sure, but then the comparison should be with the new refreshed Model Y, probably coming early 2025. The current Model Y is technically a 4 years old car design
This is a real car, not a Trump-supporter toy car.
Ridiculous low average speed, not realistic conditions for range test
It must be said the type rating states the maximum payload is 362kg and towing capacity of 1000kg, which is worse than a Toyota yaris. You cannot ignore these fundamental numbers for a car that is supposed to be for families.
Is 362 kg the max payload for the bigger battery version? I could only find 532 kg listed for the one tested here
362kg seems fine for families
Let’s be serious, how many Yaris or any other sedan tow anything when only 25% pickups do and only 15% of the time.
I don't think people that buy this go on shitty holidays with dirty caravans to pollute some field somewhere... I think they can afford hotels
You seems to have a fat family.
With average speed 68km/h Tesla Model 3 HL can do the same range , nothing new . I doesn't mean that VW ID7 Pro is a great EV .
so now electric cars are on par with a kia picanto
I dont think it is impressive under the 67 km/h average speed we see on the screen.
proving a 600km range which is not even a slightest concern for an entry level ICE car that costs 3 times cheaper. and where you can still use air con all the way :) come on, is that the future we've all been looking for?
Yes, average driver drives 50 km/day and normal people eat and drink several times a day even without driving so even less range is more than enough. Faster charging would be more benefit for those people who drive and starves.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 if you are ready to pay 50 or even 60+K EUR to get an average daily range of 50km, stop every couple of hours on your journeys and waste your nerves on being concerned with what battery level you would arrive to the next stop...be my guest. I, for that amount of money, expect a car to be universal, cover all possible ranges and does not bother me with amount of juice left just after I left home 🤣
@@vagitivanov8457 Point was if average driver drives 50 km each day you can drive whole week before you need to recharge when you have 600 km total range.
And road trip isn't problem either normal people eat several time a day and you car charge while you eat usually it does it faster than you get your meal and can finish it.
I have driven over 11000 km with EV so far, didn't change anything how i drive trips. Biggest difference is that i don't have to use any time for charging and can also charge at home with diesel i had to always go for petrol station which quite often wasn't along my trip to home.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 with an average range of 50km, one would then drive a disel car for 2 weeks without a need to refuel. So it is twice better than an EV. Charge at home is available mainly for people who own their own houses, if you rent an apartment then such charging is rarely an option. And for long road trips the difference is that you HAVE to make stops at locations where car dictates you to rather than you MAY choose to make a stop or not
@@vagitivanov8457 Dunno how diesel is in your country but here you have to pay around 600€ tax each year before you can even drive that alone cost enough to drive with EV more than 4000 km because EV also have tax but much smaller.
We have so many public chargers if you stop for food there are also charger so nothing different when you drove ICE and stopped for food break.
No it is very ugly actually.
Have seen this car, looks boring
And hearing about Shitty sw
So i will not buy another veichle from the words biggest cheater. Never ever
Nobody cares
@rare_wubbox360 … with the cheating is like the same with Doping in sport … everyone does it only few got caught … in this case it was VW. And cheating on what? More air pollution? Yeah and of course people bought this cars because they were so clean? LOL. Ridiculous they bought this car because they are so fuel efficient! Period! Not because was so clean. How about the official fuel consumption numbers from the car companies? That’s even more 💩 I don’t know if 5 to 6 litre / 100km diesel is more harmful for the environment than 8 to 10 litre / 100km gasoline?
