My first thought was it looks like a Kia. But the "well over" 300 mile range caught my eye. Article didn't state it but googling said about $50K, planned for 2024.
300 miles would be fantastic in a < $25K car. But not sure it'll be beat Tesla at $50K. Starting base model Tesla 3 is $44K with range of 272 (and long range model is 358). So think VW will have to do better.

Volkswagen on Monday unveiled a new large electric sedan that it says will have well over 300 miles of range in its top-level trim.
Volkswagen’s new ID.7 will serve as a flagship for the automaker’s growing line of mainstream EVs.
Inside, the ID.7 is a roomy high-tech wonderland – as one would expect of a car designed to challenge Tesla’s Model 3 in markets around the world.

But still a very good sign

The company expects about 80% of the VW brand’s sales in Europe, and about 50% of its sales in the U.S., to consist of electric vehicles by 2030.
