Estate wagons or combi cars have always enjoyed significant popularity across Europe, despite the recent surge in large SUVs and crossovers. Volkswagen, a major player in the automotive industry, is gearing up to launch its jewel - the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer. But will it capture your interest?
Electric Tourer with a Range of 700 km
The Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer, an electric estate wagon, is derived from the existing ID.7 sedan. However, the ‘combi’ version is elongated with slightly inferior aerodynamics (0.24 Cd vs 0.23) but promises to be a spacious and highly efficient electric vehicle with an extended range.
Expected to cover approximately 700 kilometers according to WLTP standards, similar to its sedan counterpart, the Tourer might offer a choice of a 91 kWh battery (86 kWh usable), ensuring a commendable driving range. The luggage space differs significantly, with the trunk having a capacity of 545 liters, expandable to 1,714 liters when the rear seats are folded down.
