After the onset of hesitation, the Volkswagen Group’s EV attack is eventually paying. In the first half of the year, global EV sales for the entire automotive party increased by 47 % to 465,000 units, which gave the company 11 % of the global market. However, it is not all sunshine and rainbow. According to a new report, an all -electric model is facing retirement.
Autocar It has been alleged that the ID.5 will be excluded from the lineup in the early 2027, which will give Sopi Electric SUV a seven -year life round, with no other generation model. The alleged slow sale is alleged, especially in China, which the VW predicted will be the central market.

After ID.3, with 60,700 units, Audi Q4 E -Troon and Q4 E -Truon Sportback were trails at 44,600 units.
The ID.5 cutting raises questions about Capri’s fate, equivalent to its Ford. Blue Oval resurrected his famous name plate at his Coop Styled Electric Cross Over last year, but soon production decreased. According to a Ford spokesman, a German newspaper spokesman said, “The initial cutback came in response to the” rapidly deteriorating market conditions for electric vehicles “. Clinar Studit-Ansigar.
The death of ID.5 is said to be part of a broader attempt to eliminate low -performing models. VW has already retired Passat Sidan, recently abolished Arthine Production, and rumors of leaving Taog in 2026. Its solely -changing, TROC cabbage, will be bowed in 2027. A small identity project. Buzz Minon has also been removed to replace the old tour.
Although an internal said Autocar “The market is demanding crossover and SUV model,” VW still has a pair of electric hatchbacks in the pipeline. ID.2 will launch as next year, 000 25,000 EV, followed by 000 20,000 ID.1 in 2027. Wolfsburg will also meet the demand for cross -over with high -riding ID.2 x derivatives.
