The all-electric Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer has been recognised as the UK’s best large family car, as awarded by Parkers, continuing the success achieved by its fastback sibling earlier in 2024.
Keith Adams of Parkers praised the Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer as a complete package for larger families, offering spacious seating for five, impressive electric range for long trips, and a design that balances elegance and practicality. He highlighted its refined ride and advanced tech, showing families don’t need to compromise when choosing an electric vehicle.
The Parker’s New Car Awards are predicated on comprehensive assessments of hundreds of expert reviews conducted over the past year, aiming to guide the car-buying public with tailored advice for various budgets and lifestyles.
The ID.7 Tourer’s latest accolade marks its fourth award this year, highlighting its growing appeal in the electric vehicle market. Notably, it was named Best Electric Estate at the prestigious What Car? Awards 2025, and it also won the What Car? Electric Car of the Year Awards. In another achievement, it secured the title of Best Electric Vehicle (EV) at the Leasing.com Awards. Additionally, the ID.7 Tourer was shortlisted for the Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year award in the category for caravans weighing under 1,300 kg, demonstrating its versatility for family activities.
Emma Lakey, Product Manager for Volkswagen UK’s ID.7 family, expressed her delight: “It’s rewarding when experts praise a vehicle with awards. We’re thrilled the ID.7 Tourer is earning accolades. Both estate and fastback are aesthetic, efficient, and ideal for long trips, with practical features appreciated by families and businesses.”
