The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2023 saw a production model of the 2024 Volkswagen ID.7 revealed by the Wolfsburg-based automobile manufacturer.
While the electric vehicle appeared camouflaged to conceal its final design until the time of release, the interiors of the car on display were fully functional.
The ID.7 is all set to be the electrical counterpart and taller version of the manufacturer’s Passat model that runs on gas. In terms of design, the ID.7 bears a striking similarity to Volkswagen’s very own ID Aero, which was well-appreciated.
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 Renderings
Based on the spy photos of the Volkswagen ID.7 released earlier and the showcased VW ID 7 prototype model, there are some guesses as to how the renderings of the car would look like.
The long appearance also indicates that the 2024 VW ID.7 is likely to have a lot of interior space. The steering wheel design appears to be very much like that of the ID.4 model although the touchscreen is larger and styled like a tablet. Despite the claims of the manufacturer on working on its infotainment user interface, the one displayed in the production model still appears to be a messy UI. The car will have a wide trunk opening and its 119.6-inch wheelbase ensures that it will feature quite a roomy passenger compartment.

A close look at the camouflaged model gives an idea of how the bumpers and clusters of the electric car will appear along with other details. The renderings also indicate how the headlights are shaped and integrated into the dashboard of the car. The positioning of the rear lights around the corners is also clearly visible. It is expected that the ID.7 will sport a full-width light bar in the back with the VW badge in the center. The car is also likely to have a typical sedan-style trunk, although the car by itself is touted to not have the typical traditional sedan look and will be a five-door hatchback.
New MEB+ platform
Slightly longer than the Passat, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.7 will incorporate the manufacturer’s updated MEB+ platform which is an advanced version of the MEB platform used in the ID 4 model. This updated platform will give the ID.7 several added advantages like better efficiency and more range along with higher-density and larger battery packs. It is speculated that the car will offer a range of up to 435 miles.
