Volkswagen has achieved a remarkable efficiency milestone with the ID.7 Pro S, its electric flagship. During an efficiency drive on the 12.5-kilometre Low Speed Ring circuit in Nardò, southern Italy, the standard production model covered 941 kilometres on a single battery charge.
This surpasses the WLTP-rated range of 709 kilometres by 32.7%, with an average consumption of just 9.2 kWh/100 km—equivalent to roughly 1 litre per 100 km in diesel terms.
