VW's China-Only ID. UNYX 08 Enters MIIT Catalog With 800-Volt Fast Charging

The China filing signals an imminent rollout under VW's local, market-specific development push.

Overview

  • China’s MIIT catalog lists the five-meter ID. UNYX 08 with a 1.95 m width, 1.69 m height and a 3.03 m wheelbase, indicating the model is close to market.
  • The filing names a CATL-supplied LFP battery, and the brand claims 800-volt fast charging and up to 700 km CLTC range via its Weibo account.
  • Drivetrain options include a rear-drive version with about 230 kW and an all-wheel-drive setup adding a roughly 140 kW front motor, with three variants registered and curb weights around 2.19–2.36 tons.
  • Sales are expected to begin in weeks to a few months based on the catalog timing, with production reported as planned for the first half of 2026.
  • Reports suggest the SUV may use Xpeng’s G9 platform, though this remains unconfirmed, and exports are reported to be off the table with the model positioned for China only.
