Volkswagen has decided not to introduce the ID.7 electric sedan in the United States and Canada. The company had previously delayed the launch in May 2024, citing changing market conditions. The ID.7 was originally scheduled to arrive in the U.S. in the third quarter of 2024.

A Volkswagen spokesperson attributed the decision to the current challenges in the electric vehicle market. While the company remains committed to EVs as part of its long-term product strategy, it will focus on other models for the North American market. The ID.7 will continue to be sold in Europe and China.

Industry-wide EV adoption in the U.S. has slowed, with consumers expressing concerns over pricing, charging infrastructure, and vehicle range. Other automakers have also adjusted their EV strategies, delaying launches and revising previous sales targets. Political uncertainty following Donald Trump’s reelection has introduced additional challenges.

Pricing details for the ID.7 were not released, but U.S. dealers had expressed concerns that the vehicle’s cost would likely range between $50,000 and $60,000, which could impact demand. In October, then-Volkswagen Group of America CEO Pablo Di Si stated that the company was prepared to launch the ID.7 if there was sufficient consumer interest, with a possible 2025 release. He left the company in November.

Volkswagen had displayed the ID.7 during a U.S. dealer meeting in Orlando, Florida, in September. The company will continue to sell the ID.4 compact crossover and ID. Buzz electric minivan in the U.S. Sales of the ID.4 resumed in December after a temporary stop-sale in September. Volkswagen stated that it has been encouraged by strong ID.4 sales in January and positive reception of the ID. Buzz.
