Volkswagen Anhui's ID. UNYX 08 gets refreshed lineup, starting at 189,900 yuan

Volkswagen Anhui launched the refreshed ID. UNYX 08 lineup in China, adding a new Hunter Edition and cutting the entry price to 189,900 yuan (about $26,700), with top-spec dual-motor trim at 249,900 yuan.

Volkswagen Anhui, the joint venture between Volkswagen and Anhui Jianghuai Automobile Group, has refreshed its ID. UNYX 08 electric SUV lineup in China, introducing five variants including a new Hunter Edition. The models are priced between 189,900 yuan and 249,900 yuan (about $26,700 to $35,200) as limited-time promotional prices, according to NetEase Auto.

Hunter Edition highlights

The new Hunter Edition, available in rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive forms, adds sporty styling and performance features. The AWD version pairs an 800-volt architecture with dual motors producing a combined 370 kW (496 hp), enabling a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.9 seconds. It includes a dual-chamber air suspension from Vibracoustic, ZF's DCC dynamic damping system, and Brembo four-piston front brake calipers.

All Hunter trims come with a blacked-out exterior theme, a gold VW badge, and orange accents, plus a wolf-head-shaped high-mounted brake light—a first for a Chinese-market vehicle. The SUV rides on 21-inch matte black wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tires.

Standard equipment and pricing

The entry-level Pure trim, priced at 189,900 yuan, includes a CATL battery, dual Turing chips with 1,500 TOPS of computing power, a VLA 2.0 driver-assistance system, a 20-speaker audio system, and Brembo brakes. The Ultra Plus and Max Plus trims add a refrigerator, rear folding tables, and power-closing doors. Buyers can also get up to 8,000 yuan (about $1,127) in color options free until October 7.

The ID. UNYX 08 measures 5,000 mm long with a 3,030 mm wheelbase, positioning it as a mid-to-large five-seat SUV. It offers 953 mm of front-to-rear legroom and a 766-liter trunk that expands to 1,845 liters with seats folded. The cabin features a 10.25-inch instrument display and dual 14.96-inch 2.4K screens, powered by a Qualcomm 8295P chip.

Range figures are quoted under China's CLTC cycle: up to 730 km for the long-range version. That translates to roughly 585-620 km under the more realistic WLTP standard (est.). The 800-volt system supports peak charging at 315 kW, taking the battery from 10% to 80% in about 20 minutes.

The ID. UNYX 08 is Volkswagen Anhui's first flagship model, blending German-engineered chassis with local smart-driving tech. It includes 14 active safety systems, with AEB effective up to 150 km/h. The company also offers a three-year interest-free financing plan, with monthly payments starting at 818 yuan (about $115).
