Double Win for Volkswagen at the 2026 What Car? Electric Car Awards

Volkswagen is celebrating a double success at the 2026 What Car? Electric Car Awards, with the ID.7 Tourer named Best Electric Estate and the Passat crowned Best Used Hybrid Estate.

The latest awards recognise two of Volkswagen’s most versatile models, highlighting their combination of practicality, comfort, technology and efficiency.

Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer – Best Electric Estate

The Volkswagen ID.7 Tourer continues its impressive run of awards, once again receiving recognition from the experts at What Car?

Combining the practicality of an estate with fully electric performance, the ID.7 Tourer offers generous passenger and luggage space alongside a smooth and refined driving experience.

With an all-electric range of up to 420 miles (WLTP combined), the ID.7 Tourer is designed to make both everyday journeys and longer trips easier.

What Car? Editor Steve Huntingford particularly praised its practicality, highlighting its “vast boot”, generous passenger space, comfortable ride and impressive range between charges.

The latest title follows previous successes for the ID.7 Tourer at both the What Car? Awards and What Car? Electric Car Awards.

Volkswagen Passat – Best Used Hybrid Estate

The Volkswagen Passat also took home an award, being named Best Used Hybrid Estate for 2026.

Known for its spacious interior, comfort and everyday versatility, the Passat continues to be recognised as a strong choice for drivers looking for an efficient and practical estate.

What Car? praised the Passat for its generous load space, refined interior, comfortable ride and composed handling, describing it as a compelling choice on the used-car market.

The latest recognition adds to an impressive collection of awards for the Passat, which has now received 10 awards since the beginning of 2025.
