New VW ID.7 EV has nearly 400-mile range and an AR heads-up display
The new VW ID.7 EV has an impressive range
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 flagship EV is rated for nearly 400 miles per charge.

The results of Volkswagen's electric car investment are coming faster now. Like other large automakers, Volkswagen's promised transition to electric vehicles took a while to start putting production EVs in customers' driveways. The overall pace of EV launches is picking up, even if sales volumes are backing off a bit -- such is the pace of progress. On November 13, VW announced its new EV flagship model, the 2024 Volkswagen ID.7.

There's a lot to talk about with the ID.7 announcement, and it will probably be a few months into 2024 before VW delivers the first cars to customers in the U.S. According to the vehicle launch announcement, the ID.7 will have a new power unit, advanced driver interface technology, and sumptuous luxury features. However, the ID.7's headline attraction is the driving range per charge.
2024 Volkswagen ID.7 range
According to VW, the ID.7 Pro with an 82 kWh battery has a WLTP range per charge of 386 miles. Let's start with disclaimers. While a hefty number, 386 miles isn't the same as 400 miles, it's nearly there. The second qualification is that the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicles Test Procedure) rating VW quoted is a European mileage standard typically more optimistic than the U.S. EPA ratings. The consensus is that WLTP ratings are roughly 20% greater than EPA ranges. If that's the case with the ID.7,  the EPA ratings will likely be closer to 300 than 386 miles.

Behind the wheel of the 2024 Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II: Power, comfort, and style
This doesn't feel like an SUV
Rolls-Royce Cullinan Series II in front of a Damian Hurst artwork

A Rolls-Royce is an experience as much as it is an automobile, so it’s always interesting to see how that translates to something new. The Cullinan is not new, having debuted in 2019, but the Cullinan Series II only cropped up in 2024. And the SUV is certainly different from Rolls-Royce’s usual output.

I recently had the chance to get behind the wheel of a Cullinan Series II in France and used that time to work out what the vehicle really was. Having driven both the Ghost and Spectre, I could directly compare it with the majority of Rolls-Royce’s current output. Here’s how it weighed up.
