Volkswagen Gives Us Glimpse of New ID.7 Sedan

Volkswagen has set the stage for their latest EV model – the VW ID.7 Sedan – in Las Vegas at the Consumer Electronic Show (CES) from January 5^th to the 8^th. There, the brand will showcase its first fully electronic sedan based on the electric drive matrix (MEB).

According to Car and Driver, VW doesn’t want everyone to know exactly what the new EV sedan looks like, so at the event, the vehicle will be clad in smart camouflage disguising the details of the car’s final design. This is an interactive feature and symbolizes the next step in the digitization of the future flagship of Volkswagen’s EV family. The Volkswagen ID.AERO concept vehicle already presented a preview of the new model, which was first revealed summer 2022.

“With the new ID.7, we are extending our electric model range into the upper segments. The sedan will offer top-class technology and quality. The ID.7 is one of 10 new electric models that we are planning to launch by 2026. Our goal? To deliver suitable products for our customers in every single segment,” said Thomas Schafer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars.

With the latest MEB model, Volkswagen has responded to customer feedback and improved the user experience. A host of innovations come standard in the ID.7:

• the new display concept

• the augmented reality head-up display

• a 38-centimeter (15-inch) screen

• digitally controlled air vents

• illuminated touch sliders

At CES, Volkswagen will showcase the ID.7 in a special way. The camouflaged sedan features a digital design with unique paint, which lights up the EV interactively. No fewer than 40 layers of paint have been applied, some of which are conductive while others have insulating properties. A total of 22 areas of the vehicle can be controlled separately and are electrified below the top layer of paint so that they can light up.
