VW Anhui has opened pre-orders for its new all-electric fastback sedan, the ID. UNYX 09, with prices ranging from RMB 199,900 to RMB 249,900 ($29.7K-$37.2K). The model is expected to officially launch in late October.
As the flagship model in VW Anhui’s current EV lineup, the ID. UNYX 09 is positioned as an “intelligent aesthetic electric fastback” and follows the ID. UNYX 06, ID. UNYX 07 and ID. UNYX 08 in the automaker’s product rollout.
The model measures 5,081 mm in length, 1,980 mm in width and 1,509 mm in height, with a 3,030 mm wheelbase. It adopts a Fastback-style coupe silhouette.
The exterior features a central-axis design theme, with the front lighting system extending outward from the VW logo. It also comes with DLP high-definition matrix projection headlights and crystal-engraved interactive LED light clusters.
The side profile adds frameless doors, semi-hidden door handles and 21-inch wheels, along with Brembo brake calipers to highlight its sporty character.
Intelligent driving is one of the key selling points of the ID. UNYX 09.
The EV is equipped with XPeng’s Turing AI chip, delivering 750 TOPS of computing power, along with 26 sensing hardware components including LiDAR. It also features XPeng’s VLA large-model intelligent driving system, supporting highway NOA and urban NOA functions.
On the powertrain side, the ID. UNYX 09 is built on an 800V high-voltage platform and becomes Volkswagen’s first model to support 5C ultra-fast charging. It can charge from 10% to 80% in less than 12 minutes.
The model is available in single-motor and dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions. The single-motor variant delivers 230 kW of maximum power and a CLTC range of 755 km, while the AWD version uses a dual-motor setup with a 140 kW front motor and a 230 kW rear motor, offering a CLTC range of 705 km. All versions come standard with a 91.963 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery supplied by CATL.
Despite the launch of new EV models, VW Anhui remains in the early stage of its electrification transition.
In August 2026, VW Anhui delivered 1,302 vehicles. The ID. UNYX 07 accounted for 706 units, followed by 379 units for the ID. UNYX 08 and 217 units for the ID. UNYX 06. The company’s EV sales volume remains relatively limited compared with established competitors.
The ID. UNYX 09 will enter China’s highly competitive RMB 200K EV segment, where it will compete with models such as the Fangchengbao Formula S, BYD Seal 08 and Xiaomi SU7.
Previously, the ID. UNYX 08 faced a lukewarm market response after launching with a relatively high price tag. Whether the ID. UNYX 09 can become a new growth driver for VW Anhui will largely depend on its final pricing strategy.
