The official picture of the Volkswagen ID.7 travel version was released, is it possible to enter the domestic market in the future?
Recently, Volkswagen officially released the official image of the ID.7 Tourer model. As a touring version of the ID.7 sedan on sale in China, the new car is also the first all-electric station wagon under the Volkswagen brand. According to Volkswagen's plan, the new car will be produced and assembled at the Emden plant in Germany, and will be officially launched in overseas markets in the second half of this year.

Volkswagen ID.7 sedan version
Seeing this, there must be a question in everyone's mind, that is, is it possible for the travel version of this Volkswagen ID.7 to enter the domestic market in the future?
FAW-Volkswagen CC hunting vehicle
FAW-Volkswagen C-TREK Weiling
After all, FAW-Volkswagen has not launched the Volkswagen CC hunting version sold overseas and the C-TREK Weiling series exclusively for the Chinese market, so this time, the Volkswagen ID.7 touring model, will the domestic FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen be introduced at the same time?
First of all, in terms of product strength, the Volkswagen ID.7 Touring is based on the Volkswagen ID.Space Vizzion Concept released in 2019. The front of the new car is similar to the regular ID.7 model, the main difference is that the roof adopts a sleek line design, and the D-pillar has a certain inclination, after all, it is a touring version of the car with an extra "butt" at the rear.
In terms of dimensions, the length, width and height of this Volkswagen ID.7 touring version are 4961/1862/1536mm, and the wheelbase is 2971mm, which is almost the same as the sedan version (4961/1862/1538mm, wheelbase 2966mm).
However, since the trunk space of the new car can reach 605L (73L more than the sedan), and the rear seats can be extended to 1714L (128L more than the sedan), so theoretically speaking, users can put 1948mm long and 1000mm wide items directly into the car, which will undoubtedly greatly enhance its practicality.
As for the rear, the ID.7 Touring is still equipped with continuous taillights similar to those of the sedan version, which are quite recognizable from the visual effect when lit. However, because it is a pure electric model, the exhaust layout is naturally absent, and it is easy to "expose" its identity as a new energy model.
Inside, the Volkswagen ID.7 Touring also adopts the same design style as the sedan version. Whether it is a small-sized embedded full LCD instrument, or a large-size suspended LCD multimedia touch screen in the middle of the center console, these are the latest generation of Volkswagen's current design, and the embellishment of ambient lights creates a sense of science and technology is also very good, so I think this interior can still score a very high score.
Finally, in terms of power, the ID.7 Touring also has the same parameters as the ID.7 sedan, with 286 hp/545 Nm · The 86kWh battery provides a range of 685km (WLTP mode) and a maximum charging power of 200kW (77kWh battery maximum charging power of 175kW), while both battery packs can charge from 10% to 80% in 30 minutes.
After reading the product power of the new car, everyone must have a basic understanding of this Volkswagen ID.7 station wagon model. So back to the question we mentioned at the beginning, is it possible for this new car to enter the domestic market in the future?
My answer is that the odds should be slim.
You know, FAW-Volkswagen has previously "tested the waters" to launch the C-TREK Weiling model, I thought that the price of more than 100,000 Chinese people would gladly accept and pay, but the final result was: the manufacturer finally made the wrong payment in the launch of the station wagon, because domestic consumers just don't buy it~
Therefore, under the "lesson" of the "negative case" of the Weiling car series, do you think that the domestic FAW-Volkswagen or SAIC Volkswagen will still launch a new ID.7 touring model in response to the call of netizens? I think the probability should be very low. At least at present, there is no station wagon in China that can be sold in a real sense, and neither of the two domestic Volkswagen car companies should have plans to launch this model.
In short, although there have been a lot of calls on the Internet for the Volkswagen ID.7 Touring to enter China, the reality is that neither of the two domestic Volkswagen car companies has plans to introduce this model. So, if you like the ID.7 Tour, I think it's better to give up on buying it as soon as possible.
After all, Volkswagen has indeed suffered a lot of losses in China, so let it be safe overseas. If you really want to buy a station wagon, then the NIO ET5 T is actually not bad, and if you don't like it, you can also get on Audi's imported station wagon, which is nothing more than a few more years of struggle, and dreams can always come true, what do you think?
