Challenging EV climate means VW ID.7 no longer coming to US

  • Volkswagen has dropped plans to sell the ID.7 in North America
  • VW’s MEB-based electric liftback was originally due to start sales in the U.S. as a 2025 model
  • VW cited a challenging EV climate as the reason for the cancellation

The Volkswagen ID.7 electric liftback, first shown in 2022 and initially confirmed for the U.S. market for the 2025 model year, will no longer be sold here.

The news was first reported on Jan. 27 by The Car Guide and later confirmed to Motor Authority by a VW spokesman.

The spokesman cited an “ongoing challenging EV climate” as the reason for the ID.7’s cancellation in the U.S. and the rest of North America but also confirmed that the automaker has additional new EVs in the pipeline for this region.

Traditional sedans and liftbacks with sedan-like proportions are also unpopular in the current market as buyers flock to SUVs and pickup trucks. VW last year dropped the Arteon liftback earlier than planned after it suffered for years with dismal sales, averaging less than 3,000 units annually.

2025 Volkswagen ID.7

The ID.7, which shares its MEB platform with the ID.4 compact crossover and the recently launched ID.Buzz minivan, was originally scheduled to go on sale in the U.S. in 2024. VW announced a delay for the vehicle last May.

The ID.7 is also available as the ID.7 Tourer station wagon in some markets, though this version was never planned for U.S. sale.

In most markets, the ID.7 is offered with 77-kwh and 86-kwh battery options, though the U.S. was only set to receive the smaller unit. Buyers can also choose between rear- and all-wheel drive, with peak output rising to 335 hp in a sporty GTX model.

VW said it is still committed to electric mobility in the U.S. Its parent company, Volkswagen Group, is also moving forward with the launch of the U.S.-focused EV brand Scout, whose Terra pickup truck and Traveler SUV are scheduled to enter production at a new plant in South Carolina in 2027. However, in January, Scout’s CEO revealed that most reservations so far have been for models with a series plug-in hybrid range extender. He attributed this trend to a lack of charging infrastructure rather than opposition to EV technology.
