The Volkswagen ID. UNYX 08 (Chinese: 大众与众08; pinyin: Dàzhòng Yǔzhòng 08) is an upcoming electric full-size crossover SUV to be produced by Volkswagen under its Volkswagen Anhui joint venture and sold under Volkswagen's ID. UNYX sub-brand. It is the first Volkswagen model co-developed with XPeng.[2]
Overview
The ID. UNYX 08 was first previewed by the ID. Evo concept showed at the 2025 Shanghai Auto Show. It uses a 5-seater layout. Exterior images were released by the MIIT on November 10, 2025.[3][4]
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.[5]
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.[6]
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 SiC Platform it is based on.[5] A pre-production version, using the ID. Evo name, was unveiled on May 26, 2025.[7]
Design and features
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. A streamlined silhouette is present. 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. The interior of the ID. UNYX 08 integrates a wraparound cockpit design with eco-friendly and skin-friendly interior 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.[3] An illuminated wolf badge is also present on the third brake light below the spoiler.[8]
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 horsepower (230 kW; 312 PS) electric motor. All-wheel-drive versions use the same rear motor, but add a 187 horsepower (139 kW; 190 PS) electric motor at the front. Both versions use lithium iron phosphate batteries supplied by CATL, however the capacity of the battery is not yet known.[3] The range is unknown, but the ID. UNYX 08 will have a range of up to 435 miles (700 km) on the CLTC cycle.[4] It is built on an 800-volt architecture.[9]
