Volkswagen Delays ID.7 Launch In US, Canada To Face Tesla Head-On Later
German automaker Volkswagen AG (OTC:VWAGY) has delayed the introduction of its ID.7 electric sedan in the U.S. and Canada amid changing market dynamics.
由于市场动态的变化，德国汽车制造商大众汽车公司（场外交易代码：VWAGY）推迟了在美国和加拿大推出其ID.7电动轿车。
What Happened: The ID.7 has been on sale in Europe since 2023 and was expected to be introduced in the U.S. later this year. The company did not specify the reasons for the delay.
发生了什么：ID.7自2023年以来一直在欧洲发售，预计将于今年晚些时候在美国推出。该公司没有具体说明延迟的原因。
The ID.7 is the sixth model in Volkswagen's ID lineup, following the ID.3, ID.4, ID.5, ID.6, and the new ID. Buzz electric van. The vehicle is priced at around 57,000 euros ($61,820) in Germany and is expected to be priced competitively with the Tesla Model S luxury sedan, which starts at $66,490 in the U.S.
ID.7是大众汽车ID系列中的第六款车型，仅次于ID.3、ID.4、ID.5、ID.6和新ID。Buzz 电动货车。该车在德国的售价约为57,000欧元（合61,820美元），预计其价格将与特斯拉Model S豪华轿车相比具有竞争力，后者在美国的起价为66,490美元。
Volkswagen did not provide a fresh timeline for the introduction.
大众汽车没有提供新的推出时间表。
Why It Matters: Volkswagen of America reported total sales of 82,101 vehicles in the first quarter of 2024, marking a 21% jump from the 67,853 vehicles sold in the corresponding quarter of last year.
为何重要：美国大众汽车公司报告称，2024年第一季度的总销量为82,101辆，较去年同期的67,853辆增长了21％。
The sales were dominated by the brand's SUVs, including the Tiguan LWB and the Atlas. The company's ID.4 electric SUV, however, saw its sales drop 37% from last year to just 6,167 units, indicative of slowing demand for EVs in the region.
销量由该品牌的SUV主导，包括途观LWB和Atlas。但是，该公司的ID.4电动SUV的销量比去年下降了37％，至仅6,167辆，这表明该地区对电动汽车的需求放缓。
