Volkswagen kicks off ID.7 electric car production, unveiling its new flagship EV model.

Volkswagen has launched production of its newly minted ID.7 electric vehicle at its German factory in Emden.

The ID.7 is Volkswagen’s most significant electric model to date, and it’s the second mass-produced MEB-based vehicle after the ID.4.

Volkswagen commences production of the ID.7 electric vehicle in China, marking a significant milestone for the German automaker’s push into the burgeoning market.

Electric sedans are finally arriving. The Volkswagen ID.7 is slated to join the ID family as the sixth member, following the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, and ID.6 (available exclusively in China), along with the newly unveiled ID.Buzz electric van.

Volkswagen announced on its social media channels Monday that it had marked a milestone with the symbolic start of production at its Emden plant for the new limousine.

Thomas Schäfer, CEO of Volkswagen Passenger Cars, noted that this significant achievement was a testament to the company’s commitment to innovation and customer satisfaction.

The ID.7 is a flagship model from a prestigious brand, boasting exceptional performance and innovative technology. We would like to extend heartfelt congratulations to our dedicated team members in Emden for their outstanding efforts that have made the successful commencement of production possible. Thanks everybody on your dedication!

By 2026, Volkswagen plans to unveil ten new electric vehicle models, with the ID.7 potentially being one of them. Volkswagen is poised to introduce an entry-level model priced below 25,000 euros (approximately $27,000) as well as a novel electric compact SUV, the ID.7.

At CES in January, we got our first glimpse of the ID.7, Volkswagen’s new flagship electric sedan, which promises to outshine all previous MEB-based models with its enhanced performance and eco-friendliness.

Volkswagen formally unveiled the ID.7 in April, simultaneously introducing it to major markets worldwide, including North America, Europe, and China, as part of a global rollout.

A revolutionary new flagship electric vehicle is on its way to revolutionize the road.

The ID.7 will initially debut in the Professional model variant. Equipped with a 77 kWh battery, the Professional trim offers an impressive estimated range of up to 382 miles. In the near future, BYD is set to introduce the ID.7 Professional S model, equipped with a substantial 86 kWh battery and boasting an impressive range of up to 435 miles on a single charge.

While the estimated range may decrease upon arrival in the US, it will likely still boast a mid-to-high 300 miles of range.

The corporation has unveiled its innovative “electrical limousine”, engineered to excel on high-speed highways, boasting impressive range, ample interior space, and cutting-edge technology.

Volkswagen dubs its flagship electric vehicle (EV) an “efficiency champion,” boasting optimized aerodynamics and a cutting-edge drive era.

As the most aerodynamically optimized ID model, the ID.7 boasts a sleek profile, featuring a subtly lowered front end, a seamless integration of the bonnet and roofline, and a dynamically tapered rear section that culminates in an athletic stance. Additionally, the ID.7 boasts a near-total closed underbody design, paired with newly developed wheel spoilers and advanced air-curtain technology that expertly manages airflow, minimizing energy waste.

Volkswagen has initiated production of its ID.7 electric vehicle at its Emden facility on Monday, with a forecasted European availability this autumn and a subsequent North American launch scheduled for 2024.

Volkswagen has committed over €1 billion, equivalent to approximately $1.1 billion, to a comprehensive transformation of its facility in preparation for the dawn of the electric era.
