With its latest MEB model, Volkswagen has responded to customer feedback and improved the user experience. A host of innovations come as standard in the ID.7:the new display conceptthe augmented reality head-up displaya 38-centimeter (15-inch) screendigitally controlled air ventsilluminated touch slidersThe new air conditioning system has intelligent vents and offers a number of functions. For instance, the ID.7 can detect when the driver is approaching with their key and can start to cool the interior on hot summer days or heat the interior on cold days before the driver gets into the vehicle. Newly designed “Smart Air Vents” control the flow of air and move dynamically to distribute the air over large areas as quickly as possible.If there are passengers in the car, the air can be directed straight to the body or ventilate the interior indirectly. These functions are visible at all times on the new large display and can be activated and saved individually for each user. Special requests can be activated using voice commands. If the user says “Hello Volkswagen, my hands are cold!”, the ID.7 responds by starting the steering wheel heating function. At the same time, warm air is directed towards the driver’s hands.
