The ID.7 received outstanding scores in the categories of engine/drive (1.0), safety (1.1), environment/ecological test (1.2) and comfort (1.5). Since the two categories of environment/ecological test and safety have the highest weighting, the overall score for the ID.7 was 1.5, resulting in its historical overall rating of ‘very good’. The test was conducted on a Volkswagen ID.7 Pro with an output of 210 kW (286 PS). This rating was exceeded only in the sub-category ‘Active safety – Assistance systems’, which received the best score of 0.6.
