Incoming ID 7 Tourer will be among a slew of fast EV estate cars when it launches next year
Volkswagen may not be the company that first springs to mind when thinking of fast estates - but there remain a few notable uberwagons in its back catalogue. Only early 2000s VW could have replaced a 4.0-litre, eight-cylinder flagship Passat with one powered by a 3.6-litre VR6, for example. The Mk7 Golf R estate was very good, too;. Gold wheels and red accents would surely look just as good on a wagon.
For now, VW is promising much of what might be expected from its first all-electric estate. The incredibly low drag coefficient of the ID.7 hatch has almost been matched the second time around , and the big boot is promising acres of room: 545 litres with the seats up, 1,714 with them down. Which is genuinely massive regardless of powertrain - the equivalent Skoda Octavia is only rated at a 1,700-litre maximum.
VW is also promising ‘high travel comfort’, which won’t exactly get pulses racing but again sounds ideal for a cavernous EV estate. Leaves plenty of headroom for something faster as well. The ID 7 Tourer will go on sale in Europe next year, with the final design to be revealed in the coming months. Which is unlikely to hold too many surprises, because VW wagons don’t tend to.
