Previously, we released a new draft of T7 multivan road test, which mainly describes the innovative appearance brought by T7 and the application of MQB platform. However, when we enlarged the spy photos of road test later, we found that there was an openable panel under the A-pillar on the right side of the vehicle. There is still a lot of camouflage on the spy car body of the Volkswagen T7 multivan road test. We can vaguely notice the evolution of the front face design. At the same time, there is a small glass part on the A-pillar to improve the vision. The front windshield is more inclined than the previous generation products. The headlights have been newly designed and are likely to use full LED technology. The vertical tail lights at the rear of the car have been changed into full LED lights arranged horizontally. The application of MQB platform also reduces the body height of T7 multivan by about 6cm (2.36 inches), which will be more beneficial for people to get on and off the vehicle, effectively reduce the impact area of the vehicle and improve the level of aerodynamics. If T7 can really launch the plug-in hybrid model, that is, GTE model, it is very meaningful for the Volkswagen LCV product line. We speculate that the T7 GTE version will adopt the traditional four cylinder gasoline engine + motor, and will match the 6-speed double clutch gearbox (dq400e). The package capacity may not be less than 13kwh. For products with T7 property, the endurance mileage under wltp shall be at least 55km, and the endurance mileage against NEDC standard shall be about 70km. Volkswagen has previously reconfigured the operation mode of the system, so the driving mode of the T7 GTE model should include e-mode, GTE and hybrid. It is worth mentioning that in 2018 abt displayed an e-transporter concept car in Hanover, which can carry a maximum of 74.6 kwh battery pack and can last for 400 km (248 miles). If 40 kW CCS is used quickly, the 74.6 kwh battery takes 98 minutes to charge to 80%. With a 7.2 kW AC charger, the battery takes 10 hours and 20 minutes to fully charge.
