He Chinese market is currently very important for manufacturers. So much so, that they often reach agreements to produce locally and also have specific models for that region. A recent example is the Volkswagen ID. Unyx which has been presented exclusively for China. It is an electric SUV with coupé-like features that clearly reminds us of another car that we do have in Europe. Indeed, the German brand’s Cupra Tavascan arrives in this specific market without promises of expansion.
As design is the first thing that catches the eye, We see a clear inspiration in the other model of the Volkswagen Group thanks to those shapes of the front. The prominent hood stands out in this area and also the LED lighting that comes from the slanted headlights that are joined in the center by an LED strip. The silhouette is copied from that of the Tavascan, with those fastback forms to stand out among the other SUVs. The rear end is finished off by three-dimensional taillights that create a floating light effect.
Not too many details have been given about the interior, but it will also be similar to what we have already seen. The main novelty in the Volkswagen ID. Unyx is that it debuts a new HMI interface with a AI-based interactive 3D avatar. This means that the user can customize its appearance and will help the user in multiple tasks. As it could not be otherwise, it has a electric propulsion system with a 286 hp engine on the rear axle and a 77 kWh battery. This translates into a range of 621 km (in the CLTC there).
While later there will be one more capable variant With a second engine for all-wheel drive and 340 hp, Volkswagen announces more news for China. There will be Four more models in 2026both SUVs and sedans, with the intention of strengthening the brand’s position in this important market. They already operate there through the companies SAIC Volkswagen and FAW-Volkswagen, so in the future they will have an expanded range of 16 electric models with the surname ID, twelve combustion models and another six plug-in hybrids.
