Long-distance VW ID.7 Pro S models on sale in UK

Volkswagen ID.7 Pro S Match and ID.7 Tourer Pro S Match models available to order in the United Kingdom introduce a bigger battery, faster charging and greater range.

The new ID.7 Pro S Match models have an 86kWh battery, compared with the 77kWh battery in the ID.7 Match versions.

The result is a claimed 703km WLTP range (437 miles) for the fastback and 684km range (425 miles) for the Tourer.

The Pro S Match models can also be charged at up to 200kW DC, meaning a top-up from 10% to 80% battery capacity can take as little as 26 minutes.

Both new models have similar levels of luxury and equipment that existing ID.7 drivers enjoy, says VW.

These include a head-up display (HUD), VW’s latest MIB4 infotainment software with 15-inch screen, IQ.LIGHT Matrix headlights, three-zone air conditioning with smart vents, ergoActive heated front seats with massage functions, and rear privacy glass. They also offer up to 1586 litres and 1714 litres of storage respectively in the fastback and Tourer (loaded to roofline with the rear seats down).

They can be ordered from UK Volkswagen Retailers, priced at NZ$115,996 (55,450 pounds) and NZ$117,437 (56,140 pounds on-the-road recommended retail price including VAT).
