The price of ID.7 Vizzion in China is 237.7 thousand yuan (3 million rubles at the exchange rate at the time of publication).

According to analysts, regarding 90% of those who decided to buy a new product were men aged regarding 40 who considered the ID.7 Vizzion as a second car for the family. It is noted that another recent failure for Volkswagen in the Chinese market was the electric hatchback ID.3 – in order to increase sales, the company had to radically reduce the price of the car several times.
Volkswagen ID.7 Vizzion is called the electric successor to the Passat sedan. The sedan is equipped with an electric motor with a power of 204 hp, the power reserve is 700 km.
