Volkswagen Anhui’s first mass-produced model appears in MIIT’s catalogue

Shanghai (Gasgoo)- Recently, China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology ("MIIT") in China revealed a new batch of vehicles set for public release, among which Volkswagen Anhui, a joint venture between Volkswagen Group and JAC Group, made a notable appearance.

As Volkswagen Group's third joint venture in China, established in 2020, Volkswagen Anhui symbolizes a significant step in the German automaker's expansion within the Chinese market, holding a commanding 75% share and marking its lead in the partnership.

After over three years of planning and development, Volkswagen Anhui is poised to introduce its first mass-produced vehicle model to the public, the ID.UNYX, known in Chinese as “与众”.

The ID.UNYX's dimensions reveal a vehicle of 4,663mm in length, 1,860mm in width, and 1,610mm in height, with a wheelbase measuring 2,766mm.

Powering the ID.UNYX are CATL's ternary lithium-ion batteries, available in both single and dual motor versions. The single motor variant boasts a top power of 170kW, while the dual motor option ramps up performance with a combined maximum power of 250kW, courtesy of an additional 80kW front motor.

Departuring from the existing ID. models from Volkswagen's other joint ventures in China, the ID.UNYX features unique design elements. Notably, its triangular headlights and through-type light strip, coupled with raised lines on the front hood, endow the ID.UNYX with a sharper, more aggressive stance.

Viewed from the side, the vehicle presents a pronounced “hatchback” silhouette, suggesting its positioning as a coupe-style SUV.

The rear lights maintain an iconic "inverted trapezoid" shape, but what truly sets the ID.UNYX apart are the gold-lettered inscriptions of “ID.UNYX”, “与众”, and “大众汽车” (Volkswagen). These golden emblems boldly highlight the vehicle's distinguished pedigree and easily distinguish it from the existing models within the Volkswagen ID. series.
