If you thought the Golf R wagon was the pinnacle of Volkswagen's wagon range, get ready for a revolution. The ID.7 GTX Tourer delivers performance powered by two electric motors with a combined output of 335 horsepower (249 kW), setting a new milestone in the Volkswagen vehicle lineup. This electric sports wagon will not disappoint even the most demanding motoring enthusiasts.

Volkswagen presented its latest achievement in the world of electric vehicles – ID.7 GTX Tourer, which holds the title of the most powerful station wagon in their production so far. With a total output of 335 horsepower (249 kW) provided by two synchronous electric motors, one on the rear axle (210 kW) and the other on the front axle (79 kW), this model pushes the limits of capability and efficiency. The Volkswagen ID.7 GTX Tourer promises to use its electric muscles to reach a top speed of 200 km/h, while acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is expected to take place in an incredibly short time of not significantly more than six seconds – although the exact the information is still awaiting official disclosure. This combination of performance and speed puts the ID.7 GTX Tourer right at the top electric vehicles, which impress not only with ecological aspects, but also with sporty dynamics and responsiveness, comparable to gasoline sports cars.

Unlike its predecessor, the Golf R wagon, which boasted 315 horsepower (235 kW), the ID.7 GTX Tourer introduces a new concept of sporty dynamics to the world of electric vehicles. The main engine is located on the rear axle, while the front engine is activated only when needed, ensuring optimal power distribution and vehicle stability. This allows the ID.7 GTX Tourer to tow up to 1,400kg, which is noticeably more than the single-engine version, which can tow up to 1,000kg.

In terms of autonomy, the ID.7 GTX Tourer offers a battery with a capacity of 86 kWh, which enables fast charging with a power of up to 200 kW. Although the exact range figure is not given, we can conclude that due to the higher capacity and two engines, the autonomy is slightly less compared to the single-engine model, which travels up to 685 km per charge according to the WLTP standard.

The exterior of the vehicle expresses a sporty character with dynamically designed bumpers, glossy black accents and special 20-inch (or optionally 21-inch) wheels. The interior continues the sporty theme with red accents, GTX logos on the seats and steering wheel, and advanced technology that ensures a superior user experience.

The Volkswagen ID.7 GTX Tourer proves that electric vehicles are not only an environmentally friendly choice, but also superior driving dynamics and performance that satisfy even the most demanding car enthusiasts. Although this model will not be available in the US market, it will undoubtedly mark an important step forward in the electrification of the automotive industry in Europe.

ID.7 GTX Tourer it's not just a new addition to Volkswagen's electric fleet; is a symbol of innovation and performance wrapped in an elegant wagon body. While it may be regrettable that it won't be sold in all markets, its launch underscores Volkswagen's commitment to developing advanced electric vehicles that combine efficiency, performance and sportiness. With the ID.7 GTX Tourer, Volkswagen proves that the future of motoring is bright, electric and extremely exciting.
