JAKARTA - Volkswagen ID.UNYX will be launched for the Chinese market in the near future. In fact, documents related to this vehicle have been leaked from the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT).

Reporting from CarNewsChina, Friday, March 15, this crossover has a four-door force with a length of 4,663 mm, a width of 1,860 mm, a height of 1,610 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,766 mm. This electric car is also equipped with 21-inch rims.

As a relative of Cupra Tavascan, ID.UNYX will be available in two variants, namely AWD with dual electric motors and RWD with generators placed at the back.

Built on the MEB platform, the AWD variant has up to 250 kW of power from a double electric motor, while the RWD variant produces only 170 kW of power. This car will use the Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC) battery produced by CATL. The maximum speed of this car reaches 160 km/hour.

ID.UNYX will be produced at the Volkswagen Anhui plant, which is the result of a collaboration between Volkswagen and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group (JAC). This collaboration has started since 2017, and Volkswagen has owned 75 percent of its holdings since 2020.

Unlike his brother who is intended for the export market, VW ID.UNYX will focus on the domestic market.

The car will make its Beijing Auto Show debut in April, before it officially launches towards the end of 2024.
