VW ID.7 Tourer Teased As Brand’s First All-Electric Wagon

Volkswagen is set to expand the electric wagon segment with the introduction of the all-new VW ID.7 Tourer. Unfortunately, it appears that this model will not be available in the United States. The teaser images provide a glimpse of the zero-emissions estate, with more details set to be revealed in the coming months regarding its availability in different markets.

After six decades of producing wagons, Volkswagen is finally ready to unveil its first all-electric station wagon. The ID.7 Tourer will be a more practical version of the ID.7 sedan, which is already arriving at European showrooms. With its sleek profile and aerodynamically optimized body, the ID.7 Tourer boasts a drag coefficient of 0.24, just slightly less streamlined than the electric sedan’s Cd of 0.23.

One of the main advantages of wagons is their cargo space. In the case of Volkswagen’s first CO-free estate, it can hold up to 19.24 cubic feet (545 liters) of cargo with five people on board. Folding down the rear seats provides a volume of up to 60.52 cu ft (1,714 l).

A comparison with the new Volkswagen Passat, another wagon not available in the US, reveals that the electric counterpart has a smaller boot capacity. The five-seat 2024 Passat wagon offers 24.3 cu ft (690 l) of cargo space, expanding to 67.8 cu ft (1,920 l) when the rear bench is folded down—a significant increase from the previous Passat Variant.

The powertrain options for the ID.7 Tourer have not been announced yet, but it will be based on Volkswagen’s MEB platform. It is likely to feature a rear-mounted electric motor, similar to the ID.7 sedan, which delivers 282 horsepower. The ID.7 sedan is currently available with 77- and 89-kilowatt-hour batteries, offering a range of up to 430 miles according to WLTP measurements.

Like the ID.7 sedan, the new wagon will be produced at Volkswagen’s Emden plant in Germany. More information and photos of the model will be released in the coming months. The ID.7 Tourer is scheduled to be available at VW showrooms across Europe next year.
