JAKARTA - Volkswagen (VW) has again expanded its electric vehicle model by presenting an ID.7 GTX. The car is a higher-performance EV with a more sporting and powerful style than the standard.

According to Carscoops, Wednesday, June 5, what distinguishes the GTX variant from the standard is that the car has a large bottom goal. In addition, 20 inches of rims are also presented and 21 inches are provided as optional.

In addition, there is a small GTX badge at the bottom of each glass door, roof, and black pillar. Then, the front lighting carries the IQ.Light LED matrix technology.

Moving to the interior, there is a sport-style chair coated with plain cloth and an ArtVelours Eco microfleece, a steering wheel with red stitches as standard, as well as cabin lighting with 30 colors that have become standard.

Then, there is a 15-inch touch screen and a head-up display that has become standard on the ID.7 GTX model. Other standard equipment includes wireless App-Connect for Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, augmented reality, IDA voice assistant assisted with ChatGPT, two-zone automatic AC, and keyless system.

The German manufacturer also offers an optional function in the form of Park Assist Pro, which allows users to control parking procedures using their smartphones.

Talking about its performance, VW ID.7 GTX has a double electric motor driven all wheels (AWD) capable of generating 335 dk. According to the manufacturer, this sedan can run from 0 to 100 km/hour in 5.4 seconds.

Of course, this power is lower than the VW IDX Performance concept which has a peak power of 550 dk of a double electric motor, which is an extraordinary performance for electric vehicles.

However, this car has an 86 kWh battery that can cover a distance of up to 595 km according to the WLTP and is compatible with charging 200 kW of DC Fast Charging, so it can charge from 10 to 80 percent in 26 minutes.

The VW ID.7 GTX will be marketed in Germany at prices ranging from 63,155 euros (Rp1.1 billion). This is accompanied by the opening of an order on the ID.7 GTX Tourer model for 63,955 euros (Rp1.13 billion), then the ID.7 Pro S and the ID.7 Tourer Pro S for 58,985 euros and 59,785 euros, respectively.
