After launching the first big electric break in history with the ID.7 Tourer, Volkswagen had also launched a sports version called GTX from its high -end model. The long autonomy version had already distinguished itself with a first record last October, but the brand broke its own record.
An efficiency record for the ID.7 pro S
Volkswagen recently achieved a remarkable feat with its flagship electric model, the ID.7 Pro S. During a efficiency test carried out on the Nardò circuit, in southern Italy, this vehicle has traveled 941 kilometers On a single battery load, thus surpassing its autonomy approved in WLTP cycle of 709 kilometers. This performance represents an increase of 32.7 % compared to official data.
The test was carried out in December, under temperature conditions between 5 ° C and 15 ° C. The ID.7 Pro S, equipped with an 86 kWh battery and a 286 -horsepower electric motor, has displayed an impressive average consumption of 9.2 kWh/100 km. This efficiency is attributed to its aerodynamic design, with a drag coefficient of only 0.23.
Specific test conditions
This record was set in special conditions. There vitessevitesse Average during the test was 29 km/h, simulating the typical urban traffic jams. This reduced pace made it possible to minimize the résistancerésistance aerodynamics and maximize energy efficiency.
-In addition, the test took place on a closed track, without the vagaries of real traffic, which favored a energy consumptionenergy consumption weaker. In real use, with higher speeds, variations in land and various weather conditions, the autonomy of the ID.7 Pro S would be closer to the 709 kilometers announced according to the WLTP cycle.
This performance nevertheless demonstrates the potential of modern electric vehicles in mattermatter energy efficiency. It also highlights the importance of driving conditions on the actual autonomy of electric vehicles.
