Volkswagen ID.7 GTX to arrive in August priced from £62,000
Volkswagen has confirmed prices and specifications for the new high-performance GTX versions of its ID.7 and ID.7 Tourer ahead of the cars’ imminent arrival in the UK.
The fastback version of VW’s electric flagship will cost from £61,980 when orders open on 1 August, with the estate model starting at £62,670.
GTX is Volkswagen’s rapidly expanding performance-focused line for its electric model. Following the ID.5 and ID.4 GTX, the brand has recently launched GTX version of the ID.3 and ID Buzz alongside the ID.7 GTX.
The range-topping ID.7s uses a two-motor powertrain with 335bhp, bringing all-wheel-drive to the model for the first time. That makes the ID.7 GTX Volkswagen’s most powerful EV on sale, and gives it a 0-62mph time of just 5.4 seconds for the fastback and 5.5 seconds for the Tourer.
Both models use the same 86kWh battery as the ID.7 Pro S Match, offering up to 366 miles of range for the fastback and 359 miles for the Tourer. High-power 200kW charging allows a 10-80% charge in around 26 minutes.
Like other models in the GTX line-up, the ID.7 gets a host of visual upgrades, including 20-inch ‘Skagen’ alloy wheels, a GTX-specific bumper and honeycomb grille along with illuminated badges at the front and rear, and full Matrix LED headlights. Inside, there are heated and ventilated front seats, heated rear seats and a a Harman Kardon sound system. All GTX models also get VW’s adaptive DCC chassis control system with selectable drive modes.
