This video was brought to you by Steinberg a better world planner Mr Green Camp power and Marcus build Yo what's up we are now sitting in a Volkswagen id7 and we are in Berlin so This is a special Drive we're going to Do let's just I guess we just start Driving first this is the first time I'm Able to drive the ID the id7 let me see So I have some people with me And um yeah it's um it's a prototype Right this one this is prototype that's Why we need to have a a dude Volkswagen Here So um this is going to be a driving Impressions I don't know if you know this but we Have now a bigger screen you know the ID3 had a smaller screen id4 had a Bigger one this id7 has even bigger Screen it's roughly well how big was it Again 15 inch or something So that's good I mean now now we're Cooking you can see it on the camera I Think we uh yeah we should have it Visible that you can Wait let me see uh maybe if you can flip The screen out a little bit so I can see Yeah okay I want to also monitor that Viewing point Okay well you can flip it in again You know just happen to have some people With me so I can do this but you can see
That the screen is actually a lot bigger And I like it uh and let me see I need To right now I need to focus a little Bit on the traffic but also on the Driving Um when it comes to regen Can we set the higher region Because I feel like the region is a Little bit weak I remember this was also From other ID cars Directions Okay all directions uh we just go here He's trying to find my way to the Autobahn right now Eco mode what can we can we do Individual individual mode So because now the car feels a bit Sluggish in eco mode so I did come here To drive eco mode So steering Drive comfort oh it has DCC Yeah I hope this one has and you a new DCC oh yeah so how you like it okay Um where are we going now by the way how To get on the South Route We have also augmented reality So now here we go taking the Berliner 113 yeah you take the South one here So um I checked also the map beforehand Where the unrestricted Autobahn is and It's this direction a little bit further South and then we just go wild Unfortunately the maximum the top speed Of this IED seven is 180 kilometers per Hour
I guess that's still decent uh it's Probably fast enough for most people Even Germans [Laughter] Maybe there would be some kind of ID Some beefy ID seven eventually some All-wheel drive one but let's see okay So right now we're kind of set up with Fiddling a little bit here so um let me Show you that okay one thing the big Thing that people are talking about I Should also mention is that we have now These kind of model 3 Tesla style events Where the events are uncontrolled Electronically we have one over here one There one there and Was it three or four I don't remember But you can then individually control Them or you can put it in outdoor it Will do all that stuff for you so um Yeah that's interesting that they're Also moving away from the manual events Other than that okay there's some stuff In the center console here I can't show You because there's some um since this Is the product video with you oh yeah You see it there oh yeah three three Four Okay four events ah yeah So that's pretty cool and you can Individually adjust them like that So I can we can bring up this one again Yeah uh it might be visible on the on The video since it's a fairly big screen
So um uh I should tell you that yeah Outside here it's 13 degrees Celsius in Norway it's around zero degrees Celsius Nowadays So let me focus on the driving then um Yeah we are now in the 120 Zone And if you just keep going south now we Should hit the unrestricted soon let me See So um you know the instrument cluster is Remarkably small I was hoping for Something bigger but it seems to Volkswagen they're trying to move away From two big intimate cluster So it's like kind of it's like a little Slick bar there we can talk about this One right okay yeah okay and it's good So at least what you see here is the Speed you see similar to the ID the ID3 Id4 and you see stay the charging Percentage and estimated range and there Is also some Auto stair uh stuff going On as you can see that one let me try Try to use Auto stair here since we kind Of need to cruise there anyway Um Yeah the the pot what's it called again Pilot assist Travel assist this one has it right yes Okay yeah do the automatic Changes oh yeah okay let me go a little Bit faster And then do this one Okay I'm not sure if I did it I should
Have hold It okay yeah Both screen lines Yeah Okay Yeah it kind of works okay but let's say Now slow down a little bit Okay let me have a hundreds on here Oh that one He recognizes it it went automatically That one I would like to turn it off if It's possible okay you can This one the mood mode Travel assist semi-auto okay well I just Have it on this one I think you have to Oh Okay but I want to have it on travel Assist but okay I can fit with the Settings you have to dig into the menu To find The stuff and of course uh I need to be A good German and uh So I know it's peace okay Yes okay I find it a little bit Um Maybe you can find it for me it's a Um okay whatever we don't have to focus On that one right now I should have set up everything but we We have a little bit of limit here but Since we are now waiting for some uh the Roads open up I should give Volkswagen a Big shout out okay here this one means Unrestricted
Okay so everything is a little bit back And forth here but we are still waiting For traffic to clear up but yeah Big Shout out to Volkswagen because you know Volkswagen they had an event in Alicante In Spain press event and it they I was Invited but unfortunately it's a bit too Far for me and it was a long event span Over several days so I couldn't go there Because you know I have family now So but Volkswagen really wanted me to Test the id7 I realized it now they Really wanted me to test the id7 I also Wanted to say id7 I was like ah too bad I also asked them if they could maybe Have like a one day package that can fly Down to alicon to then test and then go Back to something I don't care too much About the fancy dinners or the the Hotels over there I just want to drive The car But they just couldn't fit in that one So Um but then first of all again they Pulled it off and they allowed me to use This prototype it's not the same one as The the other Journeys were able to test But actually the one they tested is more Final Especially in the in the sound proofing Everything this one has some equipment Some cables some communication and Everything so you see we might not get The right impression of everything with
This car but what we get here that the Other journalists did not get is that we Are built able to test them on the Autobahn unrestricted Zone So uh so that was there's a big thank You to Volkswagen because they pull off This one only for me think about this That is crazy like I I feel flattered but As that they must really recognize that My videos gives them great value and Also for the potential customers that They maybe I just test the car in other Ways that other people do okay Sorry I have to interrupt myself For it Oh yeah maybe we should go into some Sport mode yes yeah yeah Oh it's nice and quiet sport mode Engaged okay okay okay okay now now Let's see that okay let's slow down a Little bit I have not touched the the Brake pedal I'm just getting a feel of The region so I also check my mirror There is no one behind me so there's a Little bit of traffic now Um it's 10 30 in the morning Okay we're doing about yeah I don't have To tell you guys but let's see So the new id7 has a new electric motor With more windings Uh they redesigned the motor and you Know the old one is 150 kilowatt this One is 210 kilowatt
And oh man it has a nice pull okay it's Not neck snapping fast but I really feel Like this is a lot faster than the old 150 kilowatt motor So uh by the way this is rear wheel Drive And it's on some central European winter Tires And we are on actually on I'm not sure What kind of surface this is but We even have crosswinds And getting the pressure so You have to read it yeah winter time Zone so I got the impression that this car is Really quiet Despite that this is a prototype that Doesn't have all the the soundproofing Yet so which means that the final Product will be Even better oh And this is you know id7 is not some Fancy expensive eqs or BMV i7 it's the Volkswagen the car for the people so it Should be fairly affordable So yeah Um Actually since we are kind of stuck in While I wouldn't say stop no this is not Style is this traffic it's just yeah Normal traffic it may set the cruise Control I need to set it to roughly We had to set the well you can see the GPS speed but it's you can see the speed
It's roughly 110 kilometers per hour I want to do a Measurement but bear in mind that this Is not final so the the final result Should be slightly better but on the Other hand we are on winter tires so Yeah I need to shut up now I don't know you can see it Maybe if Alexander could hold it in Front of the camera That's about 65 decibel I think Let me um Let me see uh we'll try to go a little Bit faster so of course every time I Talk now the the sound levels will go up But uh it's quite unique that we are Able to test the sound levels at a Higher speed uh the road here Is very nice and smooth though so just Bear that in mind but this is what you Can find in many places in Europe Um unfortunately it doesn't seem like I'm gonna go too fast let me try a Little Sprint here That is very good that is very good okay I had to shut up a little bit but you Guys see the numbers wow Oh okay I mean it helps that we have Smooth asphalt but remember that we have Even have crosswinds Wow I can't wait to test this car in Norway and we get a little impression Now of course Right thank you Alexander
Just turn off this one and normally uh When I do the measurement I will measure I record the data and then look at it Afterwards so um yeah Um Interesting let me see I'm trying to Find out how the the instrument cluster Works I think you have to swipe it But how's this again let's swipe it Yeah how do you swipe which side was it Again this this one oh you're depressed Maybe Oh I see oh ah okay interesting so you Know The the intimate cluster here is Freaking tiny it's like slick it's in There right Um so in the ID3 id4 you will also have Some trip data here now they moved it to The head of display Um I can see some consumption numbers Unfortunately I can't tell you guys Because that will be in the different Embargo But okay okay that's pretty cool yeah Wow that is interesting that this is Actually the first car I ever tested That shows trip meter on the instrument Cluster But okay so um yeah I can tell you that Uh it's not um It's not that bad yeah I mean we have 0.23 drag coefficient here and also Quite low frontal area when it comes to
The size this one is Actually slightly taller than Um Model S which is actually good Okay let's go for it the co-pilot says Go Schnell oh yeah okay you don't have To ask me twice we came here to drive Schnell Oh Man Ah Oh it's been a while since I drove fast Oh man I'm back at Helga yet I'm back Oh But okay I mean it's fine you know Um I want to get an impression so when You drive at this beat 180 kilometers Per hour how does the car feel like Feels planted it feels nice and Solid Rock Solid I'm just flooring it right Now we're driving at V-Max Okay slow down a little bit Let me check here region yeah actually Region when when I let off now I see That the display the region is almost Maxed It's regening roughly 90 percent and Then yeah if I press the brake I region A little bit further so At least in that part you actually get Pretty strong region And let me just try and since I have Some traffic in front of them when I get An impression you know the BMV ix3 is Also Raven Drive and also around 110
Kilowatt Power by the way do you know Remember the the tors huh 77 77 yeah the Battery size oh yeah but but um but how Much was a torque number yeah How many Newton meter Okay but but let me see here um We'll get that okay it's it's a PM motor Still so the Tia motor tends to have This current characteristics that it it Has a slight it has a slight lag but It's still quite Snappy when you floor It in sport mode you get that little you Can maybe see my core pilot is uh a Little bit like this So 545. wow 545 Newton meter torque That is that is decent so revl Drive Uh okay Power That should actually be a good recipe For uh efficient cars because normally In general when you have two PM Motors It's really really hard to make it Efficient Um I I only know one component that made It possible or managed to master it and That is lucid but even when I talk to uh Um uh Russian Um Uh what was his name again how can I Forget his name but the founder of lucid Yeah Peter he said that yes he knows That Making Pia Motors dual Pia motor is is Really hard to make it efficient so Maybe that's a good thing you just put
One strong motor in the back And you can go fast plenty of power and Even in Norway As long as you have good tires then Traction is not really a big of a Problem also when you buy this kind of Car I guess you don't live in in the Bush anyway if you live in the bush I Mean if you have a cabin in the bush you Have to go off-roading semi off-roading You probably go for some SUV you might Go for id4 GTX or something else right So um We just we're just cruising now it's 15 Degrees Celsius outside And we're heading south On the Highway 13 towards which Is An area for tourists where you can Driving home to organic candles oh okay Cool Oh all right let me see Um yeah I need to do some other stuff But I don't like this car I mean this Video I don't care if it's a little bit Too long because I know that lots and Lots of people want to get an impression Of how is this car How is the the comfort and everything And the noise noise level at least my Impression Now is really really good and Also let me just get another feel here Of Are we allowed to talk about okay how we
Have 120 so I would like to talk about the interior Here or Okay you know I maybe I'll you can Mention this I can focus that on another Video yeah I'll just focus on the driving uh now But let's see I'm beyond sport mode so If we switch um is there a button for Drive mode here or you have to go in the Menu right Yeah So so if you switch it to comfort Instead will the will the if you look an Individual here Um Okay if you go to sport Okay yeah yeah you have to it will you Know pay attention Okay it doesn't say okay but individual It seems like Um if you go comfort Instead Uh yeah we are uncomfortable now then The the the DCC should be more you know Comfy more right so when we're in sport Mode it was like a little bit harder With this okay All right so now we should test Comfort Mode uh eco mode I don't care too much About it now unless we do the yeah the Sunday driving but it's Friday today so Um But now in Comfort mode let me get the
Feel again so in sport Okay let me just try this one for sport Let me try um Okay it has that instant thing all right But then in Comfort mode is it supposed To be a little bit softer Let me try You know I almost feel like Wait Comfort mode has lower region I'm Almost just rolling now oh yeah in sport Mode it goes way higher region Yeah okay okay that's interesting but of Course you can customize it if you go For individuals you can customize Everything there Um But I mean it's still quite Punchy in Comfort mode but let's revive on Uncomfortable a little bit now let me See so uh I think eventually I'm going To turn around in around uh yeah 13 Kilometers we just have to if you can Please remind me to turn around but so Now um I just want to cruise set the Speed let's say cruise at um 100 kilometers per hour and then this Car is equipped with Harman Kardon Um versus 16 speakers 700 Watts So we need to test it I have USB stick With me And let me see I do this [Music] Look at the base
The base is not that strong [Music] Okay because nowadays I'm actually Driving testing the Mercedes eqs SUV and That one is really Punchy and deep based Here [Music] It's lacking a little bit of that Deepness I'm not sure if This is there we have final no oh it's Not final okay well okay well you get Some impression of it okay you can you Can individualize if you want okay I set Everything to Flat turn off every Processing everything everything has Been set to Flat neutral Center Everything So just want to get an impression so It's Harman Kardon so I wonder if this Is the first time Volkswagen uses Harman Kardon in the cars But I'm just a Harman Kardon in uh in BMV before I was super impressed Oh but it sounds great [Music] Yeah so I'm going to skip a little bit Got the switch here you can see also how It works in part two okay it's in nine Kilometers okay then I can switch back To the music player go to the home and Then you switch here So as long as you're used to the whole Infotainment then even just having
Everything in touch screen shouldn't be That big of a deal really Listen to the bass here also [Music] Okay um it sounds nice and clear but I Feel like there's lacking something in The base so hopefully the final version Gets more bass maybe this prototype Doesn't have the subwoofer uh yeah who Knows Won't you let me dream About your mind again Every time I change volume Which is kind of annoying if you notice It okay switch it off oh you can switch Okay yeah but uh We're not gonna mess Around too much Okay let me listen to this guy this guy He has a little bit the bright voice What if I do this uh this one does not Have the yeah okay now there's another Section [Music] [Music] Sounds very good last song now just want To listen to the mid bass skip a little Bit [Music] Rattling in the Prototype [Music] Is it Volkswagen they are not playing Around even the Prototype does not have Any rattling in the doors when we play Music and then when I test production
Cars of other brands then we have Rattling okay so that was the little Music test and I think we need to go Back to we're going to turn around soon Okay Um let me get you see now it's when we Need to kind of speed up quickly Oh yeah okay all right So actually personally I don't like the Uh Ah okay Um the the Comfort mode You by default You have low Low east region but the the region is Adaptive so now that we have traffic in Front of us it will slow down faster I don't know if you guys can see it Through the camera but we have Crosswinds So nice and smooth asphalt over here But lots of traffic and then oh I forgot To check something Double glazed window Um what about in the back do you know The back also same okay oh nice let me See I wonder if the front windscreen also Has some acoustic glass so that's Probably why it's also it's quiet but Also all the acoustic glass doesn't help Like Tesla they have acoustic glass you Know but It's still not as quiet as a German cars So um let me see now you see now that
I'm driving faster And if you have a car in front and I Just let off Yeah then the region goes stronger but Then It just does it automatically kind of So let me test here I guess many people will prefer this I Prefer to be in control full control So if I go a little bit faster and I Gain on him and then I let off Yeah then they go then it gets fairly Fast and a fairly strong region and then It kind of kicks back on the on the more Yeah Regularly so I actually prefer to have It on um well not this one um Wait how do you the driving profile Improves yeah you can have it in the Shortcuts if you want to okay We have two shortcuts Oh this is where they measure the Distance between cars this is only for The for the trucks for them out payment To pay the usage of the oh okay it's Nice to have a local Deutsche guy here Yeah oh okay okay we're gonna exit soon Then we turn around uh maybe it's better If you could set in a navigation for me Yeah we go back North right towards Oh yeah oh yeah but the ionic charging Session needs to be covered in another Video Because that's a different embargo we
Have two releases here so so this one is Only for that one but um well actually Okay okay let's um exit here Which is it okay Check S And yeah I should also mention that this Car has the 77 82 kilowatt hour battery That you know from id4 and ID bus but That battery comes in two variants you Have the one with a high peak power 85 185 kilowatt like an ID bus and the ID 5 GTX And then you have the one with the flat 135 kilowatt uh curve that goes flatter And actually goes faster than 90 which One does this one have by the way The 77 Oh okay I forgot maybe you can't mention That in this video okay Sorry we have we have so many embargoes We have to uh deal with here okay no the Truck is of course blocking me it's okay Okay let's go Oh there's some there's some vests at Low speed I don't know if you hear that it goes up Until around 50 kilometers per hour Okay we'll just do a little safe mode And go back to the outer bound But it still feels in many ways it feels Like driving the Volkswagen oh okay That's that fast over speed warning yeah Oh bastard
But um Let me see Yeah it has a nice dampening everything I also heard that the suspensionally Been worked on to to make it comfortable We we should also try to drive on some Twisty roads Maybe But there's Buckle roads yeah I don't Know any places we will find it Idea of the approach okay All right so now we're just cruising Here and then we have unrespected Zone And If I have the opportunity to heat up the Battery of course we're gonna do it So now in in sport mode I like I like sport mode but then I Guess suspension becomes a little bit Stiffer in sport mode But It still it just still doesn't feel Uncomfortable like I almost forgot what We were sport mode So if I would compare against Um Similar cars Um actually the Comfort here resembles The model S Palladium or they want the Raven the one with the new suspension But I almost feel like Maybe it's more comfortable I'm not sure Because here you can change the dampers We can also do that in the models but we Also have to look at what kind of
Competitors do we have here is this a an Eqs competitor no absolutely not uh it's Way lower price range and everything but The questioning is that even this id7 Could compete again more expensive cars When it comes to some some features and Also driving like driving feel uh Comfort noise all that stuff okay the Other Germans they might go faster but Here yeah You can still hear a little bit of wind Noise but it's kind of windy today So ideally we'd test this on not so Windy day but on the other hand this is Also a more realistic test So um yeah [Music] Oh oh siblings wait where's that Hindenburg no no It is okay it's the main project but These kids okay okay there's some There's a big Halls Is I just remember something let me just go Here okay a little bit uh late uh late Exit Okay but Uh we can do a little uh I forgot let's Do a little launch okay so we just Checked traffic and then we uh let me See actually no I don't I want the wrong Way this is for trucks oh yeah look what We can just well I want to go out again Also okay it was just a quick in and out So um but I have to watch out it's kind
Of busy now it's almost 11 on a Friday So um I might not be able to launch from Standstill we'll just do our best To get some Impressions and the battery Is now at 53 so I'm not sure how much Power we have I I could have connected The car scanner maybe but uh whatever Okay it's fair Fairly clear now Let's just go we start almost understand Well that was a nice punch by the way Punch like I never got that punch in uh In the 150 kilowatt versions Maneuver is a I know we're breaking is quite okay um Not sure what that was about Yeah there was some warning came up and Then it disappeared again Maybe Auto braking yeah could be Auto Braking Advanced 2v Maps So it seems to have a nice uh curve a Nice power curve So I suspect that that high torque is For low RPM And then at higher RPM it could kick Back a little bit on the on the on the Torque and by doing that you get a flat Ish yeah you should get a flat uh Kilowatt or horsepower or power curve Because at lower RPM you will then have Lower power usually But let me see what else is that you Guys want to know how are the seats
Okay well well if the opportunity comes Then I just have to go for it but the Seats by the way is ventilated Unheated So that's uh nice wait did did the ID Family have ventilated seats before nine Okay oh this is new then oh nice so I Can just go here And then I could just say dry boost Oh okay I've done it Sets here Max seat ventilation Oh oh I feel the nice breeze now in the Back oh yeah and also there is massage Does this one have massages ah okay um How do we enable that one Massage okay Start what there's a program let me go For uh Circles and then start Seems the app seems I mean the yeah it Seems a little bit glitched I'm not sure if it started um no okay Instead of this we have the normal Button Oh yeah I forgot about that one Okay Okay uh This is what Germans do right they they Fiddle with the screen when doing 180 Kilometers per hour I'm gonna get so Many hate comments now Oh okay whatever it's not too Important yeah
Okay okay but I just have to bear in mind that there's A prototype so not everything is working I mean I'm just happy that we don't have Plywood on the car so Um let me see like I want to turn it off Okay yeah it should be off now Right so um yeah we just have a little a Nice stroll in the park now trying to Heat up the battery so yeah what I'm Saying is that um the seats feels good They have uh decent side to support they Are not total uh racing bucket seats And uh yeah but I guess I should come Back more in the seat department on Maybe the the other video where I focus On the the interior but um at least when When we are driving a city here I can Give you my Impressions that feels good Yeah steering wheel Um actually feels very much alike Regular ID3 I don't think there is Anything different there Unfortunately we still have the haptic Haptic feedback haptic buttons I'm not a fan of it And the stocks seems similar as also the Other id3s so yeah it makes sense to Reuse many many components but for what I remember there were some more buttons On the ID3 id4 here wasn't it for mold And some stuff Okay so actually more buttons have been Removed and we are more in this place so
I remember when I switched modes dry Mode for example I use the buttons but Now we just have to get used to pressing On the screen and then yeah but um it's Been a while since I drove ID family now So um but at least what you have Important is you can change temperature Here These are direct buttons and you can I Guess you can slide them up and down and You also have volume here and you can Slide up and Okay yeah so That one yeah And then let's see Um Give it down to 48 well Okay let me switch display here a little Bit I'm gonna check out this okay so you Have one display on where you stay oh What the heck you can even see state of Charge in percentage in the head-up Display so it seems like Volkswagen they Are serious about about moving more Stuff over to the head of display and Then Less in the intimate cluster head So yeah I guess that's also uh makes Sense Yeah oh yeah head of display is standard I think even the big AR Version right yeah so Huh I wonder if they could totally Eliminate the the instrument cluster and Then only use head of display
Hmm Okay but let me see so there's one mode Where one one view viewing point where You can see a battery percentage and Range and the the auto stair or the Assist systems and then speed speed is Always visible and speed limit and then If you switch to the next mode then you See parts of the trip meter you see uh Distance to another part it's actually Not trip meter it's navigation you see Distance to destination and how long it Takes under the last mode here is done Distant to this then suddenly you see a Consumption Number only consumption number Ah wait there was another remote I thought I saw three meter earlier Okay whatever I should be a good German To use the right Muslim yeah See if I but it was if I was driving Audi or BMV I would be hugging the left Lane of course Is that true Germans they also do that Passive aggressive it's the way to have Described Yeah you see someone is coming from Behind oh Keeping shot Light feedback so okay switch to the Right and then Yeah All right Um what else should I say about the car
Um well I can't test the headlight for Example yet a lot of stuff I can't test Yet but I should focus on what is unique Here in Deutschland which is to drive Fast get the least that kind of Impression and then we are also in Fairly smooth asphalt over here Um but other than that Um Yeah We're just cruising right now But I think eventually I want to get Over to some twisty roads Do we have anything nearby here like This exit here yeah we can we can try it Okay it's a bit late but okay let's go Let's go Village oh okay yeah let's go Over here all right so let's see Um house is that is that the name Of the village exit The village of ausfart no no that's the It has the installation of exit Okay the The town is called gross curves yeah Okay okay wow oh nice yeah but that was A that was a joke there's always the Biggest city okay should we go right Here yeah there okay oh there's some do We have oh yeah yeah we have um uh you Know Brewster Cobblestone we need to Test it yeah okay Oh Yeah let me see we have to switch in to Switch to uh Comfort yeah Comfort mode Uh how was that again I'm always a
Little bit confused there We shouldn't yeah I should have made a Profile for it I mean a shortcut of Course yeah Oh the car kind of floats over the bumps Nicely done this this was the perfect Place to test suspension See he's terrible oh oh yeah look at That this is like I guess typical roads in Norway and UK And Belgian roads yeah if I didn't tell You guys that I was in Deutschland you Would think oh this nice Belgian Town Yes exactly look it's patches everywhere They didn't bother resurfacing the whole Surface yeah Rough surface oh yeah yeah okay okay Wait wait should we go left or try okay We just wanted to find another ones yeah So now I will get an impression of how It is on these kind of Roads some some Bumpy roads and the car just floats over And the bumps it um it has almost three Meter wheelbase Okay left oh yeah look at this the Rougher the better It it just kind of bounces Similar to actually an EQ eqs or maybe The BMV I I4 But I you know I like these German cars Not because I'm sitting here with a Bunch of well I mean a German and Norwegian from Volkswagen but okay here But I just like the way the German cars
Ride It has this this nice comfy right like What we said now Um And it doesn't have that weird out the Off the bounce that some cars have Oh yes I'm going a little bit too Schnell okay okay I have to watch out Here But yeah this is this is quite rough I Wonder how How shaky it would be in the camera Now this is proper testing Volkswagen You guys should test the cars over here But this is a Proved and also this kind of surface you Will also find them in Norway or in the North in laplan during winter then you Have a compacted snow and then when the When the car when trucks with chains Drive over the compact the snow it makes It really shaky and rough similar to This one So um Yeah oh they have they have cherry Blossoms here already Okay I'm going to Chanel again oh Yeah let's go right here wow oh yeah More even rougher roads Wait does this one have grip wow what The heck man let me check something here Uh Oh I was not in B mode I just realized That I was in D mode
But let's check something uh okay it's Very quiet over here Um I noticed yeah I noticed that the Turning Circle was crazy this car is Almost five meters long so if you do This Uh And then full turn Yep just like ID look at this we can Just we can almost U-turn here you can Just drive you can almost Drive in a Circle behind yours I mean around Yourself Okay I'm going uh people take yeah it's Like a ten he has a tank tank turn well Again people are getting dizzy now but I Just needed to demonstrate that The Toronto circle is awesome despite Having a big car and I guess this is Possible because it's rear wheel drive So you have more um freedom of movement In the front axle uh And I guess you don't have to have some Crazy expensive rare wheel steering like Like I mentioned nowadays I test the eqs SUV that one is a freaking tank But it has 10 degrees rare with steering But I just wonder how expensive will be One day when you have to repair it Oh this is a nice town Wow I wish I could bring wifey with me Come here Yeah oh I'm so fed up with the Norwegian
Winter But this is weird now the vest is I heard this earlier Ah I know what happened now that we're On eco mode or yeah no no no we are Comfort mode the the Okay so let me see how this is going to Try to do this myself no no you have to Go here and then you know it Okay you know what let me just uh if I Just pull over here I'm gonna show you Guys how easy it is but you have to you Have to be parked When you're parked you can then uh you Can swipe this one maybe and then you Can do this and then no maybe you don't Have it here Now you have to maybe in the this I was I was doing a swipe here maybe here you Can have the drive mode See if you can find it Um no it's not here okay you mentioned That there was a shortcut we can make Yeah maybe it's not possible Maybe it's impossible but Okay it should be working okay but um I'll show you by the way if you go to Sport mode I always be really individual And you check here Um Drive Comfort okay you can change the Steering so I'll be talking about that Drive a exterior engine sound this is The one yeah so if I would configure This now individually I will have
Steering on Comfort Drive on maybe sport Exterior So that's the the fake engine sound Adaptive cruise control oh you can Change some of that light assistance Also air conditioning Yeah so I can just switch I can switch By the way to sport no no my bad um if I Switch here to sport now okay you will Hear that For you guys who are interested in fake Engine sound because I think here you Don't have to pay 500 euros for it Yeah it's nothing fancy not like BMV They have uh Hans uh handsome Not doing fancy here wait should we go Left or right Okay right [Music] So that was the sound I heard Okay but let me switch over to Yeah we Actually can we just keep it there close The windows So actually in sport mode I feel that It's a little bit rougher as expected But this is good that you can choose and I think actually if you go to individual Individual just like in the id5 GTX You can then actually go even more comfy If you want to but then it exactly Comfier than comfy mode comfortable yeah School six to nine okay uh oh yeah There's school so on so we have to go Along some
Where But yeah now I'm in B mode let me test By the way if I use Comfort mode but I Have bmon you you switch like this and Now you're in drive and then you you Kind of toggle it between drive and B And that should give better uh region or If you can just go uh custom So another thing I'll be listening to is That when you go over bumps and low Speed It has this nice Low frequency Rumble I don't know if you guys can hear it I Think it should be audible on Yeah yeah here we have this really rough Patch Oh that was a nice ASMR oh yeah the Guy's like oh should I say what is that Okay let me go left here right okay go Back to the Autobahn yes okay Um can't wait for the truck to go in But yeah he says it's um It is as I would expect an id7 to be Uh it would you know it's probably gonna Cost you still Uh it's not going to be a poor man's uh Car but uh on the other hand It could be poor man's uh Ecos or uh i7 maybe not i7 but you know Space wise that will be covered with Another video I think this car should have pretty good
Space Because it's based on the MBD platform I Also look in the back by the way it has It still has that um Focus here I'm and I can only do one Thing at the time Okay It still has a drum brakes in the back Let me check something yeah I noticed uh If I if I accelerate And I turn while I do something let me Do a little weird maneuver here okay Doesn't do any weird in the back Some cars will do some you can kind of Feel like when we okay when you don't Have OverDrive when you have Rebel Drive And you are in curve and and it's kind Of hard to explain but you you kind of Feel like there's some weird stuff going On as if the car was not tuned well uh This one feels like it's well tuned for Driving similar to Tesla Tesla they have Done a river drive for a long time So okay Um navigation it seems a bit wait I think navigation is stuck again Hopefully we get a better software then Okay This is probably not final version of uh Navigation but oh oh wait a minute I see There is a there's a new uh there's like A new top bar is that is that in Production yet In 28 kilometers hmm okay maybe we
Should bring down the state of charge we Can test on my ownity It seems to be capped on the display Here I can see 182 kilometers per hour But then you guys see on GPS so it seems To be capped on 180 kilometers per on GPS speed Oh I'm not sure or maybe they just go a Little bit about because they found Found out that yeah GPS speed is a Little bit lower Well it feels a little bit windy I can Feel it it pulls a little bit to the Side Oh it's frozen oh okay which is But you know the way to uh the ayundi Right okay all right no worries we have A local guide here so that's fine and by The way I think since this is a Prototype uh it's required to have a a Guy from or yeah a representative from a Volkswagen sitting here with me Then I'm allowed to drive it But yeah this top bar here is that Something new is it in production yet Yeah Oh okay With the entertainment system okay Because I haven't seen it I haven't been In an hour and an ID to see you have a Charging [Music] Charging here we have navigation here There's some profile and stuff and you
Have here we have the other stuff here All right you had the buttons down Wait does this one have Antarctica blue Maybe you see this is like it's giving Away that there is like a trailer here Yeah I read on the spec sheet yeah I Forgot we saw on the PDF from uh from Alicante yeah it can pull Um Oh I don't remember how much Wow it's kind of busy on the roads here It's not like Norway Yeah so we are going to um an ionic day And maybe we have a little short lunch To charge up a little bit and then I can well at least I can mention it That I'm going to make three videos this One is the first one with the driving Impressions Uh and also the second one will be An interior review but that one has a Lot a Um There's an embargo Of Was it 17th of April wasn't it or [Music] 17th yeah so Um the the charging test uh range test And interior view will then be after the World premiere But at least I convinced that I'm going To test that yeah And right now we have slight Tailwind
And the Volkswagen guys they're trying To figure itself But you know they they've taken note of This and also everything is being locked Here so they can just look look up in The dump stack whatever and yeah And then find out what is wrong and Hopefully fix this so yeah Oh oh you have like a checkpoint you can Yeah I have to even if I recognize So But another thing by the way is that now You guys notice that we are driving past Trucks And it's still nice and quiet this is Actually what I experienced also with The Audi with the acoustic glass is that Here I really if I open it you will hear How noisy it really is Some real noise But you probably didn't notice that we Were passing by so many trucks So um yeah Uh still 15 degrees Celsius Hammering it I guess the the yeah given That it's um it's a 77 82 kilowatt hour Battery Uh they're probably not pulling out too Much power from it I guess the battery Could deliver more but they just chose This one eventually there might be some GTX all-wheel drive version of this but Um It means that even at low each state of
Charge it will still be able to get the Consistent power outputs But this needs to be examined closer Once I get the car scanner yeah I mean I Could have brought car scanner but I'm not sure how much info you want here In for overload so I figured that since It's a high speed run then I just go for The drug instead yeah by the way in case You guys haven't seen this is druggie That I show the speed and it shows GPS Speed with 10 Hertz position Zone All right And then okay I should by the way Mention I mentioned initially that Since this is a prototype All the soundproofing has not been Finalized yet Um So if you I I'm not sure but if you Heard some weird cracking noise or Something It's not normal so the final version Does not have it of course it's just Volkswagen it's stretch it extra so I Can test this car this prototype Here So um yeah now we come to the 120 Zone And I wonder if we're going to exit soon Because this one should also have Actually I'm not sure There's style coming ahead I know a little bit of work I know the
Important German words like style and uh And then there was also another word Schaden what it was again Surfers Damaged surface I was like oh okay slow Down and stuff like that Um Okay let me see you have to instruct me Where I have to go exit and [Music] But okay okay This one Here right yes okay straight the next One yes Okay it's this intersection all right So uh um I forgot to mention that there Was some navigation stuff here yeah I Can see on the screen oh you have Navigated to it right so ah so even Though the screen is Frozen the headlamp Display and the augmented reality is Working yeah so it shows me here that I Have to exit here And then Um Now we have the big Arrow coming like Like we're driving through the arrow Like that So that's um pretty cool uh I've seen it Before and let me see does this one have The ID light It doesn't seem to be active because It's supposed to have that the Okay How does it handle curves oh yeah yeah
There I felt like yeah yeah this is um Exactly what they're looking for when You go a little bit too fast in the Curve and you don't have traction and When I floor it there was no power Until it gained traction and then yeah So actually if they wanna Are we in sport why don't we check Something here Um don't remember now we're in Comfort Mode oh okay okay not just having a Cover mode so maybe in sport well how Far do we have to go now Hopefully Oh in three minutes okay I think the Exit is right by the Autobahn right Yeah so okay maybe if I tested in sport Mode maybe the car would allow a little Bit more sleep or be a little bit sporty But in Comfort mode it will just kind of Um Yeah cut cut the power when stuff like That happens So we are now down to 37 it might not be Optimal for uh For a charting session okay we have to Um heat up the battery I want to see some nice charging speeds Here See but um okay exit in 1.9 kilometers You have to pay attention Uh is this the one there's a resting Area You see the stuff coming up there
And by the way another thing I should Mention is that some cars even the eqs I Tested nowadays eqs SUV has this high Frequency noise from the front I believe It's the front drive train This one since It doesn't have the drivetrain in the Front Uh It's actually completely silent the Motor is in the back there somewhere Big always back oh yeah So the only thing I hear there is a Little bit of rumbling I think that is From the tires at certain speeds you Start sharing the Okay let me see ionity should be okay Left right okay Left and then right okay it's behind the Uh Yeah the end of the You can see it there oh I think we Should have gone right there maybe I'm Not sure okay we'll go right here okay You see the sign there you see the sign Also there to sign above All right you can see oh yeah I see now Okay it just I I don't know why they Make it look like a fossil pump yeah Because I was like yeah there's a fossil Pump yeah I see it now yeah Um Because Charting stations they don't have that
Big screen and yeah Okay oh oh maybe it's time for some Lunch oh Oh I I need to get some um some Schnitzel or something here while I'm Here Man the best things about Germany oh oh Oh okay there's a slight problem we have One uh charger kaput and then the three Other ones are occupied by uh some other Coins but okay no problem I mean no big Deal uh it will eventually be available So we could just stop here and chill a Bit and see actually there's one car Waiting also yeah the the ID uh three is Waiting Another thing I should mention uh when We have The backup camera has so poor resolution It's like VGA Graphics okay Um this one feel this one is sharper Than this Start Okay a little bit glitch in the software In The Matrix but yeah you see the front Almost feels sharper Okay It just feels a bit washed out as if There's some some kind of compression Artifacts Um yeah yeah this is weird yeah it could Be Schmutz Because when I go closer This one is tuck sharp here
Here it seems like it's a bit uh yeah But no big deal but if you I mean if you Have OCD you will notice stuff like that That it's not as sharp as maybe some Other cars but um again I like this kind Of I like this this uh approach that you You you exit the car and then when you When you enter Yeah okay this guy's there's a gun when You enter and you you can just go like This and you drive And then when He said oh that's Tesla Bureau no he Doesn't know that me but um Um just like the other IDE family so um I like it that you actually have stocks And that it's easy when you when you go Forward you just go and go like this And then when you want to backup you Could call this so it's brilliant that You have it near the hand here All right Um is that lesson is that an eagles No I don't think that's equals but okay So um this was a very long video I tried To cover as much as possible it's over An hour long so um actually I think we We have covered most the driving Dynamics now anyway uh we did a little Bit Town driving okay we didn't do any Mountain Road uh but uh still managed to Cover most important things so I think I Would actually just end it here yeah and Then if you want to watch the other
Stuff you have to wait a little bit a Couple of weeks and then you will see The rest of the goodies So yes I think that's going to be it for Now I hope you guys enjoyed this video As always thank you for watching and Talk to you later
Electric City Vehicles Cars Power
Electric City Vehicles Cars Power
Battery-electric and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (EVs) are a critical step toward reducing our nation’s greenhouse gas emissions. These cars and trucks use rechargeable batteries that store chemical energy, freeing drivers from the need for fossil fuels such as gasoline and diesel.
EVs can save drivers money over their lifetime compared to gas-powered vehicles because they don’t require oil changes or other maintenance costs that gas vehicles do. They also have fewer moving parts, which can mean longer warranties and lower wear and tear.
Many EVs have a high capacity for recharging, which means they can be charged up overnight at home or work. Some are even able to be recharged from public charging stations, including some owned by City Light.
There are many EVs on the road today, and the global market is expected to double in size by 2022 as nations work together under the EVI Call to Action. It is a joint initiative of governments and private sector leaders, launched at the 12th Clean Energy Ministerial in June 2021.
A new generation of EVs is emerging, thanks to policies that reduce fuel costs and support battery technology. One major factor is California’s low-carbon mandate for new vehicles, said ATE’s Jones and SEPA’s Fitzgerald. Several states have similar policy goals, and more are developing them.
Despite their growing presence on the world’s roads, many EVs are not yet available to everyone. Some renters, for example, don’t have access to charging at their homes, or may not live in a community that supports installation of chargers in public places like workplaces and shopping centers.
