Thomas @ Autogefuhl has a new video looking at the estate (touring). I haven't watched it yet but an ID7 estate is lining up to look like a really good prospect!
Watched most recent Model S and Y winter tests, they are all at dry roads, no rain, slightly lower temp. ID.7 is very impressive considering pouring rain for 10 hours. Also, the Teslas was only 10-15 minutes faster in their summer run than the dry winter run. (also listen to the noise difference)
@@Twin.motors Not sure what you mean. Wet roads have a bigger effect on consumption than temperature, and the Tesla have only a small difference on consumption in summer vs cold 1000 km test, around 10-15 minutes only.
You forgot the difference in power and drive-train. I prefer 4x4 and 400kw of power instead of granny's 220 kw (for EV's ofcourse) and RWD. So the machine with 2x power and 2x more powered axles uses the same amount of energy, what would you choose? The real efficiency is still far away from Tesla's...
Great job as usual!!! I have a Tesla but i'm really happy that finally there is a real european car competitor...competition is always positive for the consumer. Thanks Bjorn.
If I were in the market for a new EV right now, I would totally go for it. Tesla-like efficiency, giant interiour, nice exteriour. The only thing missing is a frunk, but I could totally live with it.
It was sh!tty rainy weather. I guess in summer, on dry road, it is shaving down, 15 minutes. But it also, it can get much worse consumption, at -30 C 😂. All in all, a great EV.👍
Looks impressive to me Bjorn. It would be great to see a challenge for this car during warmer months, if such a thing as "warmer" exists over there. lol. Thanks for the drop.
As a Dane who used to live 200 km southwest of this route, I can tell that 20 to 25 degrees Celsius is very common during the summer, although it may only be some 10 to 15 degrees during the night, when the motorway is almost empty. In Germany where I live now it would be very difficult to do a similar test due to poorer roads and much much heavier lorry traffic.
@@Iceeeen just no. get some to testdrive and don´t speak when you don´t have any clue about something. it´s materials are not any worse compared to an bmw series 5.
There is yet the childish sunroof without curtain for better isolation and soundproofing. Otherwise solid option for model Y, S or X. In nordic conditions good lights, doors with frame, curtain for sunroof, boot that does not guide snow, ice, water in trunk and proper door handles are prefered. ID7 got most right.👍

VW finally seems to have figured out most of the things correct! I haven't seen this car live but based on video review, this already seems like a true competitor to Tesla products even if both cost the same.
Your videos are informative and immensely valuable when considering an electric vehicle. Real world mileage and seeing how it works in the real world. But most of all, you make me laugh and smile at the same time - thank you! Oh sheeeeet….! 😂
As an EV6 driver, I would like that headlight. I loved the xenon headlight of our Opel/Wauxhall Astra from 2011. It was very good on motorways. My new headlight is not that good.
Personally I've been waiting for an actual Audi (Ingolstadt) EV since the Model S. Now finally next year you can supposedly buy the A8, A6 and A4 a year after that... Over 10 years for a competitor from Volkswagen!
id7 variant is my favorite EV at this point. As winter tyres are directional, there is no rotation of wheels possible at all, so I would expect very non-economical tyre-life.
@@Tim_Kent You cant, rear tires are bigger than the front ones (235/50 front vs 255/45 rear on the 19" version).

How is it more economical though? Wear one set out at a time should not really cost more, unless you need to swap all 4 due to AWD or something (which really should not apply here).
My ID.4 (3.5) keeps the last used setting in the mode view but behaves as if it was reset to comfort. Not sure what’s going on or why Volkswagen hasn’t fixed it.
Fun fact: 1, USA has a very strict upper limit on high beam brightness(Light Intensity) of 75,000 cd for each headlight unit(equivalently 150,000 cd for a car), while this limit in Europe is 215,000 cd(430,000 for a car), three times as large. 2, However, the Light Intensity of ID7's highbeam is probably not as much as you expect, it is only about a bit less than 200,000 cd in the brightest point of the whole illumination(around the center of view). 3, the 150,000 cd limit means you can have 1 lux of illumination at 390 meters, while the higher 430,000 cd means you can extend the 1 lux range to 650 meters.
I can safely order my ID.7 now I have seen Bjorn's 1000km challenge and banana box test :) Did this car have a heat pump? Still not sure if it's worth the £1000 extra cost in UK...
Heat pump is well suited to UK conditions where there are many days in the year when we need heating whilst driving in the morning and evening. Heat pump is less effective in other places where there are extremely cold temperatures. ☮️
Interesting you like the ID.7 since every other reviewer had stated it looks bland to the point it looks generic. However VW has significantly improved MEB over the years - the new APP550 motor is excellent and even though it still has the same 82 kWh gross pack the charging speed & curve is far better than early cars.
Being bland and generic is or was per definition being a VW car. They used to build affordable cars that are focused on functionality. If the customer wanted somewhat more style they could switch to Audi.
Nice car for the average Joe, seems to be what many has been asking for. Especially when available as Tourer/Sportscombi/whatsitsface. Nice and well made video, as always 💪🏻❤️
I do not think the "Average Joe" has the money for an new ID7, maybe Average Joe has money in about 10 years for this car, when it is 15K. Very few people buy new cars.
@@thebinkbink6349You’re right for many markets, but in Sweden (and many western European markets) it’ll be the choice for the company car driver with a low TCO budget. Average Joe company car driver, private consumers for not-private lease BEV’s in Sweden are few mostly due to (rightous) worries for BEV residual values. But the ICE Passat is ”only” €15k cheaper, so if RV’s stabilize for BEV’s the private TCO will be in favour for the ID.7. Other markets are of course different.
Bjorn, great reviews as always, would be good to show your food consumption resulting in less plastic waste, preserving our planet doesn't only come from reducing fossil fuel consumption by cars, currently most plastics are made from fossil fuels. Keep up the great work
15:50 My guess is that they have to always start up in comfort as that is probably the setting that they used for the range/consumption certification. Unfortunate that this also affects your suspension settings though.
Great test as usual! I'd love to see the station wagon version tested as well, with the biggest battery and AWD if available. I hope they make an "Alltrack" version too, with high ground clearance (hopefully over 20 cm) but I have my doubts.
Nice entertaining as always. But dont get to sloppy on the bonus minutes when you have technical or personal delays or overcharge, seems a bit to random at some occasions.
Hi Bjorn, I’ve shortlisted a Mercedes EQE and the ID7 to replace my Enyaq as my next taxi. Which of the two would you recommend? Whichever I choose, it will be a used car not new so the price difference will be irrelevant. Cheers.
The constantly resetting driving mode is unfortunately due to the fact that the car was homologated in such a mode. And the legislation requires that it is always activated in this mode.
lets not forget you talk about the "new" upgraded Q4 etron....not the "first edition". They are like night and day. Mine charges dead slow compared to the new Q4 :(
Wonder if you have tried to normalize the consumption figures by dividing by the (Cw*surface area) to get rid of the factors related to the car body shape and size. I presume that all MEB platform cars should come out roughly the same.. though there is also the wheels to consider I guess?
Great test, thanks. Expecting 30% less consumption when dry. Can you comment on why the Model S facelift was 45 minutes faster? Wet vs dry? Did you charge too long? Smaller battery?
@@christianolsen9781, it's about the palladium model S, not the M3 highland. Indeed the model 3 only charges with 250 kW for a brief moment. My 2019 LR DM Model 3 also charges only 5-10% with 250 kW and then tapers.

You cannot blame the Germans for the white car in the infotainment. My EV6 is showing either a white EV6 in my 360 camera and an IONIQ 5 in the charging screen :'-)
In my mind, automatics should always be secondary. There should always be a button for doing an action manually. You can always add automation later, it's basically calling the same function anyway.
@@rGunti i did say exactly that, If you are incapable of providing good automatic, which is actually really hard, just add a button, done. This is how all hobby projects are coded.
@@bjornnyland how much was the total driving and charging time in both cases? If both were driving 8h and 30m you have 40m Tesla vs 1h and 20m VW. Watching both videos Tesla was maybe 20-30% faster charging, for sure not twice as fast.
Slowly but surely VW is showing that going all in on electric it's going to give them the upper hand over those that can't decide. Cough, BMW, cough...
Nice car just the prizing seems quite steep here in Switzerland, over 20k more then a Model 3 or Model Y LR if you put in some options and no AWD at this prize. Heatpump still an optional extra in 2024 for a 70k car...
A reliable OTA SW Update strategy over multiple (at least 5) years. VW lied about doing OTA Updates every 3 Months to its ME2 & 3 customers that are cut of completly from ME4 now!
@@bjornnyland Fair, that's a big difference in Norway. In Switzerland the difference is not so huge all things considered, hence the different perspective. Edit: I just put together a comparable configuration incl. the max warranty that VW offers here, and the difference is barely 3k CHF (82'320Fr vs 84'990Fr). I know which one I'd pick out of the two.
Those lights and seats etc are all extras.. This specs costs 600k DKK, and compares to model y lr awd (way faster and awd ontop) wich you get for 390k DKK.. I don't know man.. 😁 Nice car tho
ID7 has air suspension, so you cannot really compare to 3/Y already from that. Time for Tesla to start putting bags on other cars thatn X,Y and Cybertruck ;)
@9:44 Showing the charging speed in miles is just cringe on so many levels. Firstly, charging is power, which is measured in kW. How far you can drive on a charge, depends on so many things. Converting it into a distance is just so confusing and misleading. Secondly, using any other than SI-units should be forbidden and result in the death penalty or at least dismissal of the software engineer responsible. Thirdly, why inconsequently using miles, when only SI-units are chosen in the settings? Fourtly, when driving in Sweden, a mile is actually 10 km, rather than 1,6 km like in some other countries, so what are we to believe now? 😖

@@verygoodbrother It is because of all the Norwegians. This is the main road from Norway to most places in Europe. 😉
It seems that infrastrucure for EV in Norway is even better than in Sweden
But they drive so slow. Feeling tired by slow speed
If you cannot implement a good auto function, just add a button. Button for preheating for the win!
In my mind, automatics should always be secondary. There should always be a button for doing an action manually. You can always add automation later, it's basically calling the same function anyway.
@@rGunti i did say exactly that, If you are incapable of providing good automatic, which is actually really hard, just add a button, done. This is how all hobby projects are coded.
They just need to have a driver profile where u can save ur settings
They have mentions of this in manual that the welcome screen would contain Restore function instead of the Ok. But it is not there yet, if ever...
Tesla shoud add Manual preheat and Android auto
VW are getting good at their engineering.
Its only a matter of time QS makes their Solid State battery.

Bjørn likes it! ID7 estate/wagon...hmmm? Could be the dream family car!
Great video, great humour, best EV reviewer, Carwow GO HOME! 😅
Fazer Tutti Frutti is the best.
didn't you make a 1000km with an Etron-GT as well?
Can't find it in the Excel

@@bjornnyland thanks, just was wondering why it is not ranked in the current Excel spreadsheet
I have a hard time reconciling this 9h50m with the 9h10m with th Tesla Model S. Where is the difference coming from?
250 kW vs 185 kW charging.
@@bjornnyland how much was the total driving and charging time in both cases? If both were driving 8h and 30m you have 40m Tesla vs 1h and 20m VW. Watching both videos Tesla was maybe 20-30% faster charging, for sure not twice as fast.
Great car but £60k in UK. 😮
I'm still afraid of the W battery degradation 😢😢😢.
An of course the price is high for this car.
Its ok, but 350km range in 120 is still very low. It needs to double before im sold.
Impressive
Well…
Seems like even in Norway 🇳🇴 charging is still a … daunting task. 😂
Well...
This challenge went through Sweden mostly and all the charging stops were in Sweden except for Rygge.
Slowly but surely VW is showing that going all in on electric it's going to give them the upper hand over those that can't decide. Cough, BMW, cough...
BMW is already almost all-in EVs / plugins. They are in a very good position, too. However, MB just extended the lifespan of their ICE crap.
It looks like Volkswagen is almost at the level of my Kia EV6 in terms of charging between drives. I've had that experience for TWO years already
Poor people on the other side of the road ar 06:40...
I'm scared to think about the price of replacing the headlights out of warranty
I don't think todays cars have any cheap option. Unless you find some with halogen bulbs.
Just an example: matrix led for Opel Mokka EUR 2000 each
There is a lot of potential for aftermarket repairs of LED headlights.. Not many offers on the market yet. A business idea perhaps.
@@rkan2There aren't many headlights with a defect inside; in the event of an accident or a rockfall, insurance will cover the damage.
Even the 2020 ID.3 had active matrix headlights.
Nice car just the prizing seems quite steep here in Switzerland, over 20k more then a Model 3 or Model Y LR if you put in some options and no AWD at this prize. Heatpump still an optional extra in 2024 for a 70k car...
You dont get the disadvantages of Chinese brands, but the price for that ...
Is it worth the extra?
What is missing to make the car perfect ?
Physical buttons on the steering wheel and a frunk.
500-600HP
A reliable OTA SW Update strategy over multiple (at least 5) years. VW lied about doing OTA Updates every 3 Months to its ME2 & 3 customers that are cut of completly from ME4 now!
More battery for better range..
PS: bring price down
Diesel engine 😂
It's time to test Ioniq 5 N.
Not yet. It's not available yet.
@@bjornnyland so maybe this refreshed Ionic 5 awd with optimized charging and 77kwh battery.
14:12 min. - Ursäkta? 😂
😆
❤❤❤
Charges faster than an e tron if the charger works…
ionity is really crap. Every car should charge everywhere without any problem
Hej Björn
Cheese through butter? 🤔 makes no sense😂
This all makes the Model S LR Palladium just look ridiculously impressive as an overall package.
Model S LR: 1000k NOK
ID7 Pro: 650k NOK
Not comparable at all. Model S costs 55 % more.
@@bjornnyland Fair, that's a big difference in Norway. In Switzerland the difference is not so huge all things considered, hence the different perspective.
Edit: I just put together a comparable configuration incl. the max warranty that VW offers here, and the difference is barely 3k CHF (82'320Fr vs 84'990Fr). I know which one I'd pick out of the two.
You it'll be a good Video when Bjorn puts a id7 in front of a wall full of banana boxes 🍌 📦 😅
Those lights and seats etc are all extras.. This specs costs 600k DKK, and compares to model y lr awd (way faster and awd ontop) wich you get for 390k DKK.. I don't know man.. 😁 Nice car tho
But ID.7 compares to TMS not TMY (the ID.4 compares to TMY and is priced likewise)
@@SHBK1980 ID.4 is a smoking pile of crap though, who would consider it? But this 7 looks like a very good product.
I would buy this over a TMS even if they were the same price! But the wagon will be even better!
ID7 has air suspension, so you cannot really compare to 3/Y already from that. Time for Tesla to start putting bags on other cars thatn X,Y and Cybertruck ;)
@9:44 Showing the charging speed in miles is just cringe on so many levels.
Firstly, charging is power, which is measured in kW. How far you can drive on a charge, depends on so many things. Converting it into a distance is just so confusing and misleading.
Secondly, using any other than SI-units should be forbidden and result in the death penalty or at least dismissal of the software engineer responsible.
Thirdly, why inconsequently using miles, when only SI-units are chosen in the settings?
Fourtly, when driving in Sweden, a mile is actually 10 km, rather than 1,6 km like in some other countries, so what are we to believe now?
😖
American tourist getting into Swedish taxi: "Can you take us to the SAS hotel, please? How far is it?" "No problem, just 3 miles". (18 freedom miles.)
