VOLKSWAGEN has released the first images of its new all-electric ID.7 estate car which it is calling the Tourer.

The German car maker is one of the most successful estate car manufacturers and for more than 60 years there have been practical models that have so far been called Variant or Shooting Brake.

With the new ID.7 Tourer the brand is providing a first glance of its first all-electric estate which will debut in 2024.

The ID.7saloon, which is currently launching in Europe, is an aerodynamic Volkswagen with a Cd-value of 0.234. The Cdvalue of the ID.7 Tourer is almost the same at 0.242.

Although in camouflage, the images show the ID.7 Tourer in profile and VW says the car will have a boot volume of 545 litres with a maximum of 1,714 litres available with the rear seats folded. Cargo space is almost two metres long.

Like all models of the ID. family, the new body shape of the ID.7 is based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group.
