- ID.7 Electric Saloon Wins Best Saloon at 2024 Autocar Awards
- Judges Praise ID.7 for Its Subtlety and Classiness
- Andreas Mindt Receives Design Hero Award, Celebrating His Impactful Career
Milton Keynes – Volkswagen celebrates two major victories at the 2024 Autocar Awards with the ID.7 being named Best Saloon and Head of Design Andreas Mindt receiving the prestigious Design Hero award.
The judges commended the ID.7 for its lack of obvious weaknesses and quiet confidence typical of Volkswagen vehicles. “This large electric car is subtle, restrained, and classy,” they noted. “It combines excellent road manners with intuitive driveability that makes any journey effortless.”
Andreas Mindt’s recognition reflects his immediate impact since rejoining Volkswagen in 2023 after a distinguished 31-year career creating modern classics like the Golf Mk VII and Audi e-tron GT while realigning brand design strategies.
Mark Tisshaw, Editor of Autocar, remarked, “Mindt has revitalized one of the world’s largest car brands since returning to Wolfsburg in February 2023 by designing models such as the well-received ID.2all concept.” He added that this blend of modernity with retro elements exemplifies why Mindt was chosen as their Design Hero for 2024.
