VW ID.4 vs Zeekr 7GT

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 293 miles for the VW ID.4 and 269 miles for the Zeekr 7GT - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The VW ID.4 goes roughly 24 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 29 minutes in the VW ID.4 and 13 in the Zeekr 7GT, so the Zeekr 7GT loses less time at each stop. So the VW ID.4 stops less often while the Zeekr 7GT stops for less time - pick on which you would rather do.

The VW ID.4 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 58 mm narrower than the Zeekr 7GT. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.4 and about 490 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr 7GT.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the VW ID.4 and 90% for the Zeekr 7GT. That gives the Zeekr 7GT a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr 7GT's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the VW ID.4's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
