A pair of electric motors combine to deliver 496 hp, making the ID. Unyx 08 quite a tempting proposition
The ID. Unyx 08 is sold with 82 kWh and 95 kWh battery packs in China . VW says the flagship model can drive up to 453 miles on a single charge. Xpeng 's advanced Level 2 driving-assistance system is used in the SUV .
VW’s partnership with Xpeng in China has started to bear fruit. Less than two years after the two car manufacturers joined forces to develop new EVs, production of the full-size ID. Unyx 08 has just started. It’s been priced very reasonably, too. Pre-sales have started to coincide with the production of the ID. Unyx 08, starting at 239,900 yuan and topping out at 299,900 yuan . To put those prices into perspective, a new ID.4 starts at $45,095 in the US, yet the ID. Unyx 08 blows it out of the water in terms of performance and technology. Read: VW’s First Electric SUV With Xpeng Has A Glowing Wolf Logo The design of the new SUV is unlike any VW sold in the West, which is no bad thing. The front is sleek with intricate LED daytime running lights and black elements. Flowing sides taper off to a modern rear-end with an illuminated VW logo. All up, it is 5,000 mm long, 1,954 mm wide, and 1,672 mm tall, with a 3,030 mm wheelbase. Efficiency And Power Autohome Importantly, the ID. Unyx 08 is underpinned by an 800-volt electrical architecture and offered with 82 kWh and 95 kWh battery packs, both sourced from CATL. Chinese buyers can order the SUV with either a 308 hp motor at the rear wheels, or in all-wheel drive configuration, which includes a 188 hp motor at the front wheels, making for a combined 496 hp . This model can hit 62 mph in 4.9 seconds. VW has yet to release range estimates for all powertrain configurations, but we know versions with the 95 kWh pack will be able to drive up to 730 km on the CLTC cycle. The battery packs also support 315 kW DC fast charging, meaning the pack can be topped up from 10-80 percent in roughly 20 minutes. The EV is also equipped with Xpeng’s Level 2 intelligent driving assistance system and has a modern interior that appears just as tech-focused as some Chinese competitors. Positioned behind the steering wheel is a relatively traditional digital instrument cluster, but the ID. Unyx 08 also includes two huge screens, consisting of one for the infotainment system and another for the passenger. Other key features include massaging seats, an optional in-car fridge, an electrochromatic panoramic glass roof, and a 20-speaker audio system.
