Volkswagen ID7 GTX models now available

Volkswagen is now accepting orders for the sporty GTX variant of its ID7 electric car.

The new trim is offered on the ID7 fastback and the tourer.

These GTX models have the same 86 kWh battery as ID7 Pro S derivatives, but the addition of a front motor results in a power increase of 54PS, to 340PS. It also means that 4Motion all-wheel drive is available on the ID7 for the first time.

The ID7 GTX is currently the most powerful electric vehicle from Volkswagen, capable of powering from a standstill to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds. The ID7 GTX Tourer completes the same sprint in 5.5 seconds.

Range capabilities, under WLTP, stand at 366 miles for the ID7 GTX and 359 miles for the ID7 GTX Tourer. The cars can also be charged at up to 200kW DC, meaning that a top up from 10% to 80% can take as little as 26 minutes.

GTX models are equipped with 20-inch Skagen alloy wheels, GTX exterior styling, ventilated and heated massage seats in the front and heated rear seats, a Harman Kardon sound system and Volkswagen’s DCC adaptive chassis control system complete with driving profile selection.

Other standard features include LED matrix headlights with illuminated Volkswagen logos at the front and rear, unique GTX daytime running lights, an augmented-reality head-up display, GTX-specific interior styling and Volkswagen’s IDA voice assistant with integrated ChatGPT.

Prices start from £61,980 for the ID7 GTX fastback and £62,670 for the tourer.
