VW Postpones U.S. Launch of ID.7 EV Amid High European Demand; Electric Microbus on Schedule
Volkswagen has pushed back the launch of its ID.7 electric vehicle in the United States and Canada, the company confirmed on Wednesday.
Volkswagen has not issued an updated schedule for the launch of the ID.7. The vehicle was initially expected to be released later in the current year, targeting the 2025 model year.
In an announcement regarding the postponement, the company pointed out a shift in market conditions and the unexpectedly high interest in its Tourer model in Europe as the main factors for the adjustment.
Volkswagen of America has noted that the interest in their ID.7 Tourer model has surpassed initial expectations, with a particularly strong response from the German market. The hatchback variant, the ID.7, was previously released in Europe and has now been followed by the delivery of the Tourer, which is a wagon-style version of the vehicle.
2025 VW ID.7 Estate
The firm assured Green Car Reports that the U.S. release schedule for the ID.Buzz is still on track for later in 2024, despite any concerns. Additionally, an updated version of the 2024 VW ID.4 electric SUV will be hitting showrooms, featuring enhanced user interface, increased power, and better battery range for certain models.
Volkswagen announced the first set of features for the American version of its ID.Buzz electric van earlier this month. The van will be available in the U.S. with an extended wheelbase, approximately two years following its European release.
The ID.7 from Volkswagen
During an early test drive of the 2025 VW ID.7 over a year prior, Green Car Reports observed that the vehicle offered impressive handling and abundant room for occupants within a design focused on aerodynamics to enhance driving distance. However, VW chose not to introduce the ID.7 to the American market featuring its highest driving range or in the variant with the biggest, quickest-charging battery option.
Volkswagen typically introduces its electric vehicle lineup in Europe before bringing it to the U.S. market. Nonetheless, the company is planning to roll out a range of cost-effective electric trucks under the fresh Scout EV label, with the initial U.S. deliveries scheduled for 2026, prioritizing the American market.
