Volkswagen ID. UNYX 09 Launches in China at 169,900 Yuan With 5C Fast Charging and 755 km Range

Volkswagen Anhui has officially put the ID. UNYX 09 electric fastback sedan on sale in China at a promotional starting price of 169,900 yuan ($25,290), marking its second production EV co-developed with Xpeng.

Built on an 800-volt architecture, every version of the fastback carries a 92 kWh CATL battery capable of adding 250 km of range in five minutes.

Launch pricing cuts 20,000 yuan from the September pre-sale figure

Introduced on October 24 after the earlier ID. UNYX 08 SUV, the new sedan is sold in three configurations—Ultra, a mid-tier fully equipped trim and Max—carrying standard retail prices of 179,900 yuan, 219,900 yuan and 249,900 yuan.

The 179,900 yuan base MSRP undercuts the 199,900 yuan pre-sale starting figure announced on September 24 by 20,000 yuan, while an extra 10,000 yuan Double 11 discount brings the black-exterior Ultra down to 169,900 yuan for the first 500 buyers, according to CnEVPost.

Shoppers who place a deposit between October 24 and November 30 can access the launch incentives, with local dealers handling specific financing terms and promotional cutoff dates.

CATL 5C cells and Xpeng’s 750-TOPS Turing AI chip come standard

Stretching 5,081 mm bumper to bumper on a 3,030 mm wheelbase, the ID. UNYX 09 offers single-motor rear-wheel drive on the first two trims with a 230 kW (308 hp) motor and a 755 km (469-mile) CLTC rating. Stepping up to the dual-motor Max pairs a 140 kW front unit with the 230 kW rear motor for all-wheel drive and a 705 km CLTC range.

All three variants share an approximately 92 kWh pack built with CATL 5C ultra-fast-charging cells, allowing the sedan to recover 250 km of driving range during a five-minute charging stop.

Cabin and automated-driving hardware come from Xpeng, headlined by a 750-TOPS Turing AI processor running a Vision-Language-Action (VLA) model for highway and city Navigation on Autopilot as well as automated parking. Every trim includes an 85-inch augmented-reality head-up display and a 15.6-inch central touchscreen, while the upper two grades add dual-chamber air springs and adaptive DCC dampers.

The sedan stems from the $700 million tie-up Volkswagen and Xpeng forged in July 2023 to build two joint EVs around Xpeng’s vehicle architecture and software stack.
