The all-electric Volkswagen ID.7 has been named by Parkers as the UK’s best large family car.

Judges at Parkers said: “This is a well-deserved award for what is an astonishingly capable large fastback and estate, which does everything its size rivals do for considerably less money.”

The awards are based on hundreds of expert reviews by the Parkers team throughout the year, which is dedicated to offering the best advice and information to the car-buying public, whatever their budget or lifestyle.

The ID.7 – Volkswagen’s flagship electric car – has now won three awards since going on sale in the UK. In January it scooped a prestigious What Car? Safety Award and in June it was named Best Saloon by Autocar. It has also received the top score of five stars in the renowned Euro NCAP (European New Car Assessment Programme) safety test.

“We were all mightily impressed by the ID.7 when it was launched, and it’s great to see that authoritative experts from the automotive media are now showering the car with much-deserved praise and awards,” said Chris Starling, Product Marketing Manager for Volkswagen UK. “It’s clear that anyone in the market for a high-quality large family car need look no further than the ID.7. It simply ticks all the boxes: beautifully designed, great to drive, and packed with really practical and easy-to-use features and technology.”

The UK ID.7 line-up comprises the Pro, Pro S and sporty GTX 4MOTION, all available in both fastback and estate (Tourer) body styles. Maximum range is up to 436 miles (WLTP, for the ID.7 Pro S) and prices start at £51,550.00 (on-the-road manufacturer’s direct price including VAT)

The Volkswagen Golf’s status as one of the greatest cars of all time has been cemented by two ‘legend’ awards.

The Golf – which is celebrating its 50th birthday – was crowned The Sunday Times Legend Car of the Year as well as The Sun Legend Car at the News UK Motor Awards 2024.

Launched in 2018, the News UK Motor Awards bring together the editorial expertise and audiences of The Times, The Sunday Times, The Sun and talkSPORT. The awards are judged by leading automotive journalists from across News UK’s titles and champion best-in-class cars in all segments, including luxury, sports, family, adventure and electric.

These News UK Motor Awards are the latest chapter in a success story for the Golf that spans five decades, and come hot on the heels of other accolades and events celebrating the model’s 50th birthday. Just a few weeks ago, at the British Motor Show, the car was named Best Car of the Half Century. Media guests from around the world also took to the skies above Cappadocia, Turkey, in a uniquely designed hot-air balloon to mark the 50th anniversary, watched by thousands of people who gather in the region every morning to see the bucket-list ballooning tourist attraction.

Will Dron, editor of The Sunday Times website Driving.co.uk, said: “With one of the great automotive icons turning 50, there was only one contender for our legend award this year. The Golf is still the hatchback that acts as the benchmark for all contenders; a classless family car fit for everyone from painters to princesses.

“The Mk 8 always had the potential to be one of the greats of a distinguished lineage and the latest update adds polish to a winning formula. Happy birthday, Volkswagen Golf — here’s to the next half century!”

Rod McLeod, Director of Volkswagen UK, said: “Over five decades the Golf family has, with good reason, established itself as a cornerstone not just of the Volkswagen line-up in the UK but, also, of the British motoring scene as a whole. Today’s revised models demonstrate why these cars have woven themselves into the fabric of British life thanks to their classless appeal, exceptional quality and peerless practicality. With new infotainment technology and more style than ever, the latest Golf is now cementing that success still further.”

The latest Volkswagen Golf is available from UK Retailers now in 10 guises – Life, Match, Style, R-Line, Black Edition, GTE, GTI, GTI Clubsport, R and R Black Edition – with prices starting from £27,420 (on-the-road recommended retail price, including VAT).
