Volkswagen started selling the ID.7 Vizzion electric sedan in China, but it turned out that the number of people who wanted to buy the vehicle was very few. In the first three days, only 300 people decided to order an electric car. reports carnewschina.com with a link to the CarFans report.
Analysts said that although the price of the ID.7 Vizzion in China is almost 50% lower than in Europe, many customers are afraid of the high price of the electric car. Visitors to car dealerships liked the car’s spacious interior, but were unhappy with the need to pay extra for basic options such as heated seats and recommended equipment levels.
The price of ID.7 Vizzion in China is 237.7 thousand yuan (3 million rubles at the exchange rate at the time of publication). The low interest in the model in the Chinese market is explained, among other things, by the presence of much more affordable competitors with a price of about 200 thousand yuan – Zeekr 007, BYD Seal, BYD Han, Neta S, Rising F7, Leapmotor C01, Tesla Model 3 and others .
According to analysts, about 90% of those who decided to buy a new product were men aged around 40, who considered the ID.7 Vizzion as the second car in the family. Another recent failure of Volkswagen in the Chinese market is noted as the electric hatchback ID.3 – in order to increase sales, the company had to radically reduce the price of the car several times.
Volkswagen ID.7 Vizzion in the name Passat is the electric successor of the sedan. The sedan is equipped with an electric motor with a power of 204 hp, the power reserve is 700 km.
