SAIC VW launches ID. ERA 5X, adding an electric SUV to its NEV lineup

SAIC Volkswagen launched the ID. ERA 5X on Thursday, expanding its China-focused new energy vehicle (NEV) lineup with a compact SUV starting at 99,900 yuan ($14,870) with limited-time offers.

The new model is the ID. ERA family's first all-electric SUV and comes in 4 trims — Pro, Pro+, Max and Ultra — with suggested retail prices ranging from 119,900 yuan to 159,900 yuan.

Limited-time promotional prices for the 4 trims are 99,900 yuan, 115,900 yuan, 127,900 yuan and 139,900 yuan, respectively, each 20,000 yuan below its suggested retail price.

The ID. ERA 5X adds an all-electric option to SAIC Volkswagen's NEV range. The lineup previously introduced the ID. ERA 9X and ID. ERA 8X extended-range SUVs, as well as the ID. ERA 5S plug-in hybrid sedan.

The new model is also Volkswagen's first production vehicle globally to combine the CMP (China Main Platform) with the CEA (China Electronic Architecture) electrical and electronic architecture.

CMP was developed specifically for China, while CEA was co-developed by Volkswagen and Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV), reflecting the German automaker's push to adopt local technology and accelerate its product roll-out in the market.

The ID. ERA 5X seats 5 and measures 4,560 mm in length, 1,896 mm in width and 1,630 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,815 mm. It retains the family's clean, rugged styling.

The SUV is powered by a single motor with a maximum output of 155 kW (208 hp). 5-kWh battery packs, delivering ranges of 415 km (258 miles) and 520 km, respectively.
