JAKARTA - Volkswagen officially introduced a production version of its latest electric SUV for the Chinese market, ID. Unyx 08. This 5-meter-long model was developed through Volkswagen Anhui's collaboration, a joint venture between Volkswagen and JAC Motors.

The SUV retains the design line of the ID.EVO concept appearing on the Shanghai Auto Show 2025. The exterior design features clean body surfaces, frameless doors, dark A pillars, and LED headlights placed near Volkswagen emblems.

One of the most unique elements is the presence of the wolf logo on the third brake light under the back spoiler. As reported by Carscoops, Tuesday, November 11.

In dimensions, ID. Unyx 08 has a length of 5,000 mm, a width of 1,954 mm, a height of 1,688 mm, and a wheelbase of 3,030 mm. This size makes it longer than the American version of Tiguan and is only slightly shorter than Atlas.

VW hasn't shared any interior photos yet, but says that the model will be equipped with AI assistants and offers L2++ ADAS. Like most electric vehicles made in China, it is expected that there will be a large infotainment display in the middle of a smaller digital instrument dashboard and cluster.

In terms of performance, this electric SUV uses an 800-volt architecture and is available in single and double motorcycle options. The driving variant of all wheels offers a combined power of up to 496 hp, with a rear motorbike producing around 308 hp and a front motorbike of around 188 hp.

The range is claimed to exceed 700 kilometers based on CLTC testing. The batteries used are produced by CATL with lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) technology, although the official capacity has not been announced.

Volkswagen targets ID. Unyx 08 to be marketed in 2026 in China. The presence of this model will complement the ranks of Volkswagen Anhui after previously launching the ID crossover. Unyx 06 and the ID. Unyx 07 sedan.

On the other hand, Volkswagen Anhui has also set up about 30 new models for the Chinese market in the next few years, including 20 electric and hybrid vehicles. With ID. Unyx 08, Volkswagen reiterated its focus on the premium electric SUV segment in China and carried a bolder design identity through the logo of the lit wolf.
