The '''Volkswagen ID. UNYX 08''' is a battery electric full-size crossover SUV produced by Volkswagen under its Volkswagen Anhui joint venture and sold under Volkswagen ID. UNYX sub-brand. It is the first Volkswagen model co-developed with XPeng.[2]

Overview

History

The ID. UNYX 08 was first previewed by the ID. EVO concept showed at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show.[4] It uses a 5-seater layout. Exterior images were released by the MIIT on November 10, 2025.[5][6] In addition to the exterior images being released by the MIIT, images of the exterior were also posted on the ID. UNYX brand's official WeChat account.[7]

As with the other concepts shown by Volkswagen at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show, the design of the ID. UNYX 08 was influenced by the ID. Code design study.[8] It is slightly larger than the XPeng G9. It is also the 3rd model of the ID. UNYX sub-brand. The ID. UNYX 08's Connectivity and ADAS system is also developed by XPeng, as is the Edward Platform it is based on.[7] A pre-production version, using the ID. Evo name, was unveiled on May 26, 2025.[9]

Production of the ID. UNYX 08 commenced on March 13, 2026. Display vehicles also began appearing in dealers at the same time.[3] Sales of the ID. UNYX 08 began on April 16, 2026.[10]

Design

The ID. UNYX 08's front fascia features slim, upward-sweeping headlights and a centrally-positioned Volkswagen logo. As with most Chinese EVs, it features hidden door handles. The blackened A-pillars create a floating roof effect. The rear uses slender taillights and a red Volkswagen logo is also present. Gold ID. UNYX and "与众08" badges are present. A panoramic sunroof is optional.[5]

Features

The interior of the ID. UNYX 08 integrates a wraparound cockpit design with eco-friendly and skin-friendly materials. The ID. UNYX 08 uses a Level 2++ ADAS system with support for over-the-air updates and large language model-powered AI assistant.[5] An illuminated wolf badge is also present on the third brake light below the spoiler.[11]

Two 15-inch 2.5K touchscreens are utilized, similar to that of the ID.Era 9X. A 10.25-inch instrument cluster is also utilized. Volkswagen chose to use physical controls on the steering wheel and doors. Dual wireless phone chargers are on top of the lower storage area, rear occupants get folding tray tables that fold down from the front seats, a 20 speaker system comes standard, and the seats are made exclusively from leather. The front seats also get 10-way power adjustment. A 1.74 m2 power-dimming panoramic sunroof is also present and has 10 levels of opacity that can be changed by voice control or through the touchscreen.[12]

Powertrain

The ID. UNYX 08 will be offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions. Rear-wheel-drive models exclusively use a 308 hp electric motor. All-wheel-drive versions use the same rear motor, but add a 187 hp electric motor at the front. Both versions use lithium iron phosphate batteries supplied by CATL.[5] The ID. UNYX 08 will have a range of up to 435 mi on the CLTC cycle.[6] It is built on an 800-volt architecture.[13] The ID. UNYX 08 comes with 82.4 or 95 kWh batteries.[14]
