Volkswagen has delivered the ultimate electric wagon, but for now, it’s a European-only treat.
The new ID.7 Tourer brings everything wagon fans love—a cavernous cargo hold, sleek styling, and an upscale interior—with all the high-tech perks of VW’s latest EV platform. In this episode of VWIDTalk, Jan and Wes get hands-on with the Pro trim, pointing out the Tourer’s smartly integrated swan neck hitch, plush ventilated massage seats, and a Harman Kardon sound system that’s a leap ahead of the ID.4’s. From the glitzy piano black exterior accents to the beautifully configurable infotainment (now running software version 5.2), the ID.7 Tourer just oozes next-generation refinement.
But it’s the details that really set this car apart. Rear seat passengers get their own climate controls and heated seats, there are clever pockets and stowage everywhere, and the whole experience feels more “Audi” than typical Volkswagen. Want a ventilated phone charging cubby? It’s built in. Miss physical air vents? Now you control airflow via touchscreen, Tesla-style. Of course, there’s also more safety tech, more customization, and yes—actual amber turn signals. If you’ve ever wondered what the best of Volkswagen’s EV lineup could look like, this episode is pure forbidden fruit. And maybe, just maybe, if enough enthusiasts make noise, VW could rethink keeping this Tourer out of North America.
