  • Impressive range, interior tech
  • Weight, brake feel, frustrating HMI

Unlike some models, the entry-level ID.7 is equipped with reasonable power, with the Pro Match producing 282bhp and 402lb ft of torque from a single, rear-mounted motor. What makes it entry-level, though, is the fitment of the smallest battery pack in the ID.7 lineup at 77kWh. Increase the budget a tad and the Pro S Match comes within reach, pairing a larger 86kWh battery pack to the same 282bhp rear-mounted motor for the largest range figure of the lineup.

At the top of the range you’ll find the ID.7 GTX, retaining the same rear motor as its Pro Match relatives, only now with the addition of a bespoke front-mounted motor to make it all-wheel drive. At 335bhp, it’s 53bhp up on the rest of the range, making it a match for the entry-level BMW i5 and the most powerful production Volkswagen saloon and estate ever sold.
