The ID.7 – much more than just an “electric Passat” The dimensions and comfort technology of the new ID.7 are aimed at the upper mid-size class. When compared to the competition, it comes up against real premium offerings: BMW i5, Mercedes EQE, Tesla Model S set the benchmark here. The VW ID.7 intends to rise to this challenge with special comfort highlights: a new operating and display concept with a 38 cm (15-inch) central screen and freely configurable “favorite buttons”, augmented reality head-up display and the “Smart Glass” panoramic roof are just a few examples. The latter ensures a light-flooded interior and can be switched between opaque and transparent thanks to the PDLC (Polymer Dispersed Liquid Crystal) layer integrated into the glass. What users have to say about it will be interesting to hear.
Family-friendly Kia electric SUV with 800-volt technology: Just like the Porsche Taycan and the Ionic 5, the Kia EV9 also has an 800-volt system. It is also already set up for “bidirectional charging”. This means that the EV9 can deliver electricity from its battery to a household or the public grid. It would be a fascinating question for test and comparison drives to see whether this is currently relevant.
