Take care

Tyres and wheel size makes a massive impact, especially at highway speeds, 2 inches difference can mean 5-10% efficiency difference. I would not understate that.

[RupOase]

05:22 - Chris, you're forgetting the different drag coefficients that the cars have: ID.4 has 0.28, while the ID.7 has 0.23. That's a huge difference, and it's being enforced at high speeds.

[Badgerpat]

You live in a beautiful area...and yes, love both cars!

[Teemu-sc]

0.23CdA vs 0.28CdA with high average speed will make the consumption difference:)

[ScenicAdventuresWest]

Thanks for this, I would think the ID.7 would have two things to it's advantage at 130km/h, aerodynamics and smaller wheels. I'm curious why you thought the ID.7 would not do much better than the ID.4? A bit hard to do but it would be interesting to see the results of a similar test if the wheels were swapped to the other car.

[Mrsmith]

very good consuption from id7. surprisly good. If u can do some excel at end of the video at all the data it would be goog. Thx!!

[Clarkie]

Mostly the difference well be aerodynamics, id7 at 0.23Cd and the id4 at 0.28Cd
130kph is quite high speed also, maybe where you live is normal, here in NZ limit is 100kph most people travel under 110kph. 130 sounds much better.
Are the wheels interchangeable on the two cars?
That would be a good test?

7’s better designed imo for economy and bigger range, plus 4’s 21’ wheels will have a notable impact I’d say!

Not a big ID4 fan and I’d probably opt for new Ford Explorer there, which should be better ranged again, nearer ID7’s capabilities.

[zamanyolcusu]

VW ID 7 is a well built car. I really like to have one but I have 2 concerns

1. Heat pump. I don’t understand why VW doesn’t put such an important equipment into the car 🤷‍♂️
2. Software.You said that software issues are mostly solved

As you know that Tesla has very good software and heat pump is standard. However, built quality and material quality is not as good as VW ID 7

I am so confused between 2 cars. Which one should I pick?

[peterhaex]

Quick question, is the software now on 4.0 or 5.0 Plaform? (like the tourer ID7)? is OTA upgrade possible to go from 4.0 -> 5.0 on the ID7 or needs to be done in the VW workshop?

[constantinnescu]

ID7 îs literally same lavel of eficiency with Tesla model 3, which îs incredibile.

[philippejaouen-rennes]

The average speed with the ID4 is 109 km hours that of the ID7 is 99 km hours this explains that. Both are very good cars. I have ordered this new ID4.
Delivery scheduled for next October. Looking forward to driving it. Thank you for your vidéos

[DEEPNNN]

During your 2024 ID.4 testing, did you experience any type of Infotainment glitches of any kind?

[badrinair]

thank you for this test. this must be due to the body style. Id.4 is not aerodynamic as Id.7

[Livespelningar]

I Will have my id7 next month. What seat cover du you use for your dogs in the id7? Any recommendstions?

[Richard-bqni]

Curious if we will see a Skoda version of the ID7 anytime soon.

[xaionik]

It's not the heat pump. It's the wheel size. Bigger wheels are proven to dramatically reduce range. Hyundai Ioniq 6 proved that quite easily.

[tesla-spectre]

if one compared this to the BMW i5 which is ridiculously inefficient but plays in the same league as the ID7, it is even more impressive

[constantinnescu]

ID 7is a good proposition. Lets see the bat deg after 2 years.

ID7 towing only 1000kg that is for me a no go
