Volkswagen has taken the covers off the ID.7 EV as the brand's new flagship electric sedan. It is the most powerful electric vehicle from the German carmaker’s ID series EVs. It will be launched in global markets like Europe and China this year. When launched, it will take on the Tesla Model 3 electric car as its key rival. It comes with 700-km range and loaded with features like a transparent roof which can be controlled through a button as well as Volkswagen's most advanced air conditioning system.

Volkswagen will offer the ID.7 in two broad trims called Pro and Pro S. Both are powered by an electric motor capable of generating 282 hp of power. The Pro is equipped with a 82.0 kWh battery pack which claims to offer up to 615 kms of range on a single charge. It supports 170 kW DC fast charging too. The Pro S has a bigger 91.0 kWh battery pack, big enough to offer a range of 700 kms. It supports DC fast charging of up to 200 kW.

The cabin of the electric sedan is loaded with comfort features and digital controls. Instead of a 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, the ID.7 has a tiny screen that focuses on displaying driver-related information like warnings and speed. The head-up display with augmented reality comes as standard and shows additional information like GPS directions.
