Volkswagen took to the display floor at CES to unveil a little more about its upcoming all-electric offering, the ID.7 sedan.

Boasting some updated tech and experiences for driver and passengers – apparently in response to customer feedback of other ID models – the ID.7 will have a new display concept, an augmented reality head-up display, a 15-inch screen, and a new air conditioning system that can, amongst other things, detect when the driver is approaching and start to cool or heat the cabin depending on the weather, and respond to voice commands.

Full details are yet to be released on the production ID.7 – those will come closer to its official launch date – although VW has said it will be based on its MEB electric platform and have a range of 700km. While the CES near-production model was camouflaged, VW also mentioned it is based on AERO concept car that appeared last year.

That concept had around 600km of range thanks to a 77kWh battery, which suggests VW may have a bigger battery pack in store for the ID.7.

The ID.7 will be the sixth model in VW’s ID family of electric cars, one of the 10 new electric models the company intends to launch by 2026. VW also reported that it had delivered 500,000 ID vehicles since September 2020.
