Volkswagen Delays ID.7 Electric Sedan in North America
Volkswagen’s impressive ID.7 all-electric sedan — a vehicle type that is increasingly uncommon in the US — won’t be showing up on our shores anytime soon, the automaker announced on Wednesday. It cites changes in “market dynamics” as a reason as well as strong SUV sales in the US.
The ID.7, which launched in Europe in 2023, was supposed to be VW’s first electric non-SUV slated for the US market. The automaker claims that after introducing the ID.7 Tourer, which is the station wagon version of the sedan, customer demand for the models is “higher than expected, especially in Germany.”
The US is still getting the ID Buzz retro-inspired microbus EV this year as well as an updated 2024 ID.4 SUV with improved EPA range and performance.
