About 100 cars are pushed to their limits annually by professionals from the “Allgemeiner Deutscher Automobil-Club e.V.” (ADAC), who evaluate them based on more than 350 criteria divided into seven major categories. In the areas of engine/drive (1.0), safety (1.1), environment/ecological test (1.2), and comfort (1.5), the ID.7 achieved exceptional ratings. The electric sedan performed amazingly in the following additional key areas that went into determining the final rating, “good” ratings were given to the body/luggage compartment (2.3), interior (2.4), and driving characteristics (2.1). The environment/ecological test and safety are of the utmost importance, the ID.7’s overall score was 1.5, which translated into a “very good” historical overall grade.
“For us, it’s great to see that safety, efficiency and comfort are not just a question of price,” says Dino Silvestro, Head of Vehicle Testing at the ADAC Technology Centre in Landsberg am Lech. “Due to our comprehensive testing methods with modern test laboratories, our vehicle test is one of the ADAC’s most comprehensive consumer protection tests and enables all test results to be compared without restriction – regardless of the vehicle class and price.”
A 2024 Volkswagen ID.7 Pro with 210 kW (286 PS) of output was used for the test. With a consumption of just 18.1 kWh/60 miles in the combined operation portion of the ADAC Ecotest, the electric sedan is one of the most economical vehicles in the mid-sized class. The ID.7’s great energy efficiency was especially striking. As a result, it scored 0.7 in the “Consumption/CO2” subcategory. It also earned a perfect five stars in the Ecotest, which has been a crucial component of the ADAC vehicle test for over 20 years. The ID.7 also had the highest score of 0.6 with its “Active safety Assistance system”. Last but not least, the ID.7 Pro is the least expensive than the any other top-rated models in its segment.
“We are very proud and delighted with this fantastic result. The vehicle test performed by the ADAC is extremely important and is held in very high regard in view of the organization’s status as an independent body. In this respect, I am convinced that this rating can play a part in persuading a large number of potential customers to opt for our all-electric saloon.” said Kai Grünitz, Member of the Board of Management responsible for Technical Development at Volkswagen brand
