It's a revolutionary ride, and here's the scoop.
GTX: The Equation for Electric Thrills
Let's take a step back. Since 2021, Volkswagen has been elevating the electric vehicle (EV) game with its "GTX" series. Drawing inspiration from the iconic GTI, GTD, and GTE models, these electric variants offer an exciting mix of high-octane driving and sustainable travel. The numbers tell the tale: one in five of the latest ID.4 and ID.5 models in Europe are GTX versions! With the ID.3 GTX and now the ID.7 GTX Tourer, Volkswagen is injecting their dynamic flair into new market segments.
ID.7 GTX Tourer: Meet the Behemoth
Following the launch of the standard 2024 Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer, the formidable ID.7 GTX Tourer arrives. This flagship has a robust dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup akin to its Volkswagen ID.4 and ID.5 GTX relatives. This advanced configuration ensures full all-wheel capability, engaging the front axle as necessary to enhance control. Volkswagen’s Kai Grünitz states, "The ID.7 GTX Tourer introduces a fresh form of sporty mobility. It marries the roominess of a sizable wagon with the zesty performance of a sports car." Its electric motors provide an "instantaneous punch" for quick acceleration and torque on demand.
