Volkswagen & XPENG Launch ID.UNYX 08 Production: The Fruition of Collaboration - CleanTechnica

Volkswagen and XPENG have jointly launched the production of the ID.UNYX 08, a new electric vehicle developed through their collaboration and assembled at Volkswagen’s Anhui plant in China, a joint venture with JAC. The ID.UNYX 08 is built on an 800V platform and incorporates XPENG’s 5C fast-charging technology and advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS). The vehicle features a tech-rich interior with expansive screens and a large sunroof, and offers rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive variants producing 308 hp and 496 hp respectively. Equipped with CATL-sourced LFP battery packs, it achieves a CLTC range of up to 730 km. The model, previewed by the ID.EVO concept, marks a stylistic departure from traditional Volkswagen designs and is positioned as a large vehicle by European standards but typical for the Chinese market. This launch exemplifies Volkswagen’s strategy to introduce 20 new new energy vehicle (NEV) models in 202
