The manufacturer has not established a new goal window.
In both the United States and Canada, Volkswagen has decided to postpone the launch of its ID.7 sedan. A debut of the electric vehicle in North America was scheduled to take place this year, but the automaker decided to postpone it indefinitely on Wednesday. The Volkswagen ID.7, which was supposed to be the company’s first electric car in the United States, has been receiving a lot of interest in Europe, where it was introduced a year ago.
“Volkswagen is delaying the introduction of the ID.7 sedan in the United States and Canada,” the company noted in a press release announcing the postponement. “As market dynamics continue to change, Volkswagen has decided to be more cautious.” Volkswagen also stated that the Microbus is still expected to arrive in the United States in the fourth quarter of 2025. In its press release, the business also highlighted the tremendous success that its electric SUVs had in North America during the first quarter of 2024.
Volkswagen has acknowledged to Autoblog, which is a sister site of Newtechmania, that it does not presently have a revised timeframe for the delayed ID.7 in North America. This is not a positive sign for individuals who were excitedly anticipating the arrival of the sedan. According to The Verge, the model would cover a vacuum in the offerings of the American electric sector, which is a sedan form of electric transportation that is reasonably priced. As of right now, the majority of electric vehicles that are not SUVs that are available on the American market are priced at the upper end of the spectrum, beginning somewhere about $70,000.
An electric vehicle sedan with a “upper mid-size” body style, the European ID.7 combines a powerful and economical 282-horsepower motor with a 77-kilowatt-hour battery. It had a range of around 300 miles and was anticipated to begin at approximately $50,000 in the United States.
