VW Anhui to launch ID. UNYX 09 on October 24 as second model developed with Xpeng

Volkswagen Anhui will officially launch the ID. UNYX 09, its second model jointly developed with Xpeng (NYSE: XPEV), on October 24, further expanding its electric vehicle lineup in China.

The joint venture, in which Volkswagen holds a 75% stake, posted a 3-day launch countdown poster on Weibo on Wednesday, October 21, confirming the date for a launch previously scheduled for late October.

Pre-sales for the ID. UNYX 09 began on September 24, with prices ranging from 199,900 yuan ($29,750) to 249,900 yuan.

Volkswagen positions the model as a sleek electric sports sedan with smart technology. It follows the ID. UNYX 08 SUV, the first model developed under the partnership.

The ID. UNYX 09 features a fastback design and measures 5,081 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width and 1,509 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 3,030 mm, according to previously released specifications.

The model is available in single-motor rear-wheel-drive and dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions. The former delivers peak power of 230 kW (308 hp), while the latter has front and rear motors rated at 140 kW and 230 kW, respectively.

Both versions feature a 91.963-kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with cells supplied by CATL (HKEX: 3750). The rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive versions offer CLTC ranges of 755 kilometers and 705 kilometers, respectively.

The ID. UNYX 09 uses Xpeng's Turing AI chip for assisted driving, with total computing power of 750 TOPS.

The model employs an end-to-end driver-assistance model, supporting highway NOA (Navigation on Autopilot), urban NOA and parking-space-to-parking-space assisted driving.
