Volkswagen i7 concept car

The Volkswagen i7, often confused with the BMW i7, typically refers to various design concepts or future-looking electric sedan projects within the Volkswagen group portfolio. Volkswagen is one of the world's leading automobile manufacturers and the largest carmaker in Europe.

Founded in 1937 in Wolfsburg, Germany, the brand was established to create a 'people's car.' Over the decades, it evolved into the Volkswagen Group, a massive multinational conglomerate. While mass-market models are manufactured in various locations globally including China, Mexico, and the USA, the core engineering and premium EV development remain centered in Germany.

As of 2024 and looking toward 2026, the brand is owned by the Volkswagen Group (Volkswagen AG). The ultimate ownership structure is complex, with Porsche Automobil Holding SE holding the majority of voting rights, while the state of Lower Saxony and Qatar Holding LLC also maintain significant stakes.
