China's regulator recently took a Volkswagen ID7 in the Shanghai Volkswagen version, and this ** is really a big surprise! In fact, it is longer and wider than the European version, and it is simply a "strong man" level existence.
Currently, Volkswagen sells vehicles in China through two major joint ventures, one with SAIC and the other with FAW. Due to the complex corporate structure in China, there is also a third joint venture called "Volkswagen Anhui", in which Volkswagen holds a 75% stake (JAC holds 25%), focusing on the development and production of new energy vehicles.
Like Volkswagen's conventional combustion engine vehicles, the id series models are also available in two versions in two major joint ventures. Although there are some differences in the traditional fuel models of rival joint ventures, in the ID series models, the models of each joint venture are the same, with the only exception being the ID3. Produced only by Shanghai Volkswagen. 
According to the list published by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT), the version produced by Shanghai Volkswagen (SAIC) is named ID7 s, while the FAW version is ID7 vizzion。Although idThe 7 S is larger overall than the European version, but it's important to note that it's not a long-wheelbase version, with the wheelbase remaining the same at 2966 mm.
However, the body length has increased significantly, reaching 5026 mm, which is longer than the 4961 mm in the European version. This results in longer both front and rear suspensions. The front suspension has increased by 39 mm, bringing the total length to 946 mm. The rear suspension reaches 1114 mm, compared to 1088 mm in the original. The width is almost the same, at 1864 mm, compared to 1862 mm for the European version. The height dropped slightly at 1537 mm, compared to 1538 mm for the European version.
China is no stranger to elongated cars, but this is usually only done on high-end models, by extending the wheelbase. However, some regular models also have an extended version, such as the Citroen from many years ago. In recent years, the Skoda Yedi has increased its body length by 60 mm in China, and the third-generation Ford Mondeo has increased its body length by 10 mm.
id.The 7 is equipped with a 170 kW rear electric motor and will be available in a dual-motor version. Chinese version of IDDoes the extra length of 7 help win more sales? Let's wait and see!
