The new model of Volkswagen's ID family, the ID.7, may not be far from its launch in China, as it enters a regulatory catalog.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology today announced the latest batch of models that will soon be allowed to be sold, and the ID.7 from FAW-Volkswagen is included.
The Chinese public can submit feedback between April 12 and April 18. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process for a model to be allowed to be sold in China.
The ID.7 has a length, width and height of 4,956 mm, 1,862 mm and 1,537 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,965 mm, according to the filing page.
In powertrain, the model is available in only one version, with a 150-kW peak power motor and a top speed of 155 km/h.
It has a ternary lithium battery pack and the manufacturer is a joint venture between FAW and CATL.
In late January, Volkswagen announced that the ID.7, the sixth model in the ID series, will make its world debut in the second quarter.
The ID.7 will be a premium model and Volkswagen's second global model based on the MEB platform, following the ID.4.
On April 5, VW announced that testing of the ID.7 is almost complete and the model will be officially launched on April 17.
"The new ID.7 will enhance the upper mid-size class in Europe, China and North America," Volkswagen said in an April 5 press release.
