Unstoppable Momentum: Volkswagen Reveals Large Electric ID.Unyx 08 SUV With 800V Charging

Volkswagen continues to accelerate its electric vehicle push in China, officially revealing key specifications of the new Volkswagen ID.Unyx 08. Positioned as a mid-to-large-size all-electric SUV, the ID.Unyx 08 is set to become one of the longest-range EVs in Volkswagen’s Chinese lineup.

Battery Options and Driving Range

The Volkswagen ID.Unyx 08 will be offered with two battery configurations:

• 82.4 kWh

• 95.0 kWh

Depending on the version, the electric SUV delivers an impressive range of 630 km, 700 km, or up to 730 km on the Chinese test cycle. This places the model firmly among the longest-range electric SUVs in its class.

Power comes from a single electric motor producing 230 kW (308 hp), providing strong performance suitable for a vehicle of this size.

800-Volt Architecture: Faster Charging for a Bigger EV

One of the most important highlights is the adoption of an 800-volt electrical architecture. This technology enables:

• Significantly faster DC fast charging

• Reduced charging times on long journeys

• Improved efficiency for large, heavy electric vehicles

For a full-size electric SUV, fast charging capability is critical — and Volkswagen clearly sees this as a key competitive advantage.

Exterior Design Tailored for China

Visually, the ID.Unyx 08 introduces a new Volkswagen design language developed specifically for the Chinese market. Key styling elements include:

• Slim LED daytime running lights

• A fully closed front fascia with no traditional grille

• Flush-mounted door handles to enhance aerodynamics

With a body length close to 5 meters and a wheelbase of 3,030 mm, the ID.Unyx 08 promises a spacious interior and strong road presence.

Advanced Technology and Driver Assistance

The equipment list reflects Volkswagen’s latest digital and software-focused approach:

• L2++ advanced driver assistance system

• “Parking-to-parking” autonomous driving capability

• An AI-powered intelligent assistant

• Full over-the-air (OTA) software updates

These features are designed to meet the high expectations of tech-savvy Chinese EV buyers.

Part of Volkswagen’s Long-Term China Strategy

The ID.Unyx 08 fits into Volkswagen’s broader electrification roadmap for China. By 2030, the company plans to offer nearly 30 electric models in the Chinese market alone, covering multiple segments and price points.

With long-range, 800V fast charging and advanced driver assistance, the ID.Unyx 08 signals Volkswagen’s intent to remain highly competitive in the world’s largest EV market.
