At the same time, it is reported that the American representative office of VW remains committed to electric vehicles in the long term.

The German concern previously bet on electric vehicles, but the demand for them around the world was not as high as automakers expected. Many companies, including VW, have already begun to revise their strategies for further development. Now it has become known that plug-in hybrids will appear in the American model range of the brand, which will probably become a transitional stage to completely “green” models in the future.

Despite the expressed commitment to electric vehicles, the company still decided to postpone the release of the completely “green” Volkswagen ID.7 liftback on the North American market. It was expected that this five-door would replace the retired Passat in 2024. So far, a new date for the appearance of the ID.7 in the model lines in the United States and Canada has not been named. At the same time, the company does not abandon plans to launch the ID. minivan in the States. According to the plan, it should join the local lineup in the fourth quarter of this year.
