Volkswagen | The ID.7 electric sedan will not cross the Atlantic
A sign that the status of the electric car is particularly volatile since the coming to power of Donald Trump in the United States, Volkswagen has decided not to offer its ID.7 model in North America. The electric intermediate sedan will therefore not cross the Atlantic to grow the manufacturer's electric footprint in Canada and the United States.
The news, boiled by the Auto guide And which was confirmed to us by Volkswagen Canada, puts an end to several months of uncertainty surrounding this model.
The declaration which was sent to us by the German brand shows “the difficult context surrounding electric vehicles”. According to Automotive Newssome American dealers had also expressed their concerns surrounding the possible price range of this new model which was to be offered in propulsion livery (282 hp) and full -driven (335 hp).
Its sedan body would also have logically allowed better autonomy than the multisegment ID.4 from which it technically derives, an added value from which Canadian consumers cannot benefit.
Volkswagen specifies in its short press release that electric vehicles “remain an essential element of the long-term strategy of Volkswagen in terms of products” while indicating that new electric vehicles will soon be introduced on the North American market, without advancing precise schedule.
