The Volkswagen ID.7 Electric Hatchback Will Not Be Available in the U.S.
The Volkswagen ID.7 electric hatchback will not be coming to the U.S., leaving the VW brand with only two electric vehicles in its U.S. lineup for now.
According to a report by The Car Guide, the cancellation of the ID.7 was confirmed by VW spokesperson Mark Gillies.

“Due to the ongoing challenging EV climate, Volkswagen has decided to no longer offer the ID.7 to the North American market,” Gillies said. “Despite this, electric vehicles continue to be a core part of Volkswagen’s long-term product strategy, and new electric models will continue to be introduced for this market.”
The ID.7 has been on sale in Europe since late 2023 and was originally supposed to arrive in the U.S. in late 2024 as a 2025 model. However, VW announced a delay in May, citing changing market demands and stronger-than-anticipated demand for its Tourer wagon variant in Europe.

In a 2023 preview drive of the 2025 VW ID.7, Green Car Reports found that the electric hatchback handled well and had loads of passenger space in an aerodynamically savvy package that aimed to maximize range. However, the longest-range version of the ID.7 was not planned to be brought to the U.S.
With the cancellation of the ID.7, the ID.4 crossover and the recently introduced ID.Buzz are the only EVs in VW’s U.S. lineup. The ID.4 has been around since the 2021 model year and received substantial updates for 2024. Sales through January 2025 were strong, according to Gillies.
