Description:
I’ve driven my Volkswagen ID.7 Pro for over 2 years and ~29,000 km, and in this video I give you a full, honest long-term review.

We talk about real-world range, charging performance, long-distance driving, comfort, assist systems, infotainment, software updates, costs, and the few problems and annoyances I had over time. This is not a short test drive – this is how the ID.7 Pro really is after living with it every day.

I also explain why, despite some software weaknesses, the ID.7 Pro is still one of the best all-round electric cars for its price – especially for highway driving and long trips.
