Gasgoo Munich-On Oct. 16, FAW-Volkswagen released official images of the ID. AURA L5, which recently appeared in the latest regulatory filing from China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology. The model is the second EV and first electric family sedan in the ID. AURA lineup. Billed as a "smart fastback" and "super family sedan," it will join the ID. AURA T6 SUV. Together, they form FAW-Volkswagen's "new-energy twin stars" — a dual-pronged lineup to accelerate the joint venture's shift to electrification.
Developed by a joint Sino-German design team, the ID. AURA L5 closely captures the spirit of the ID. AURA concept car shown at the 2025 Shanghai auto show. It builds the "practical naturalism" philosophy into every inch of the vehicle.

The design language, dubbed "flowing sculpture," pairs short overhangs with a long wheelbase for a sleek, coupe-like stance. The ID. AURA L5 measures 4,883 × 1,881 × 1,506 mm with a 2,820-mm wheelbase. Cabin space accounts for 84.4% of the vehicle's footprint — a space-utilization rate that preserves a low-slung, dynamic profile without sacrificing interior comfort.

A core highlight is how the ID. AURA L5 merges fastback aesthetics with everyday utility. The power liftgate opens beyond 70 degrees with an aperture wider than 1,000 mm. This makes it far easier to load bulky items, moving past the cargo limits of traditional sedans.

Buyers can choose from six exterior colors — white, gray, silver, purple, gold, and blue — targeting younger drivers' taste for personalization. On the tech front, select ID. AURA L5 trims will feature lidar sensors, promising easier and more convenient daily commuting.
Transitioning from concept to production, the ID. AURA L5 brings youthful styling, liftback practicality, and smart tech to give Chinese buyers a fresh EV sedan option. Now that the official images are out, more details will follow in the lead-up to launch.
