The Volkswagen ID. UNYX 07 (Chinese: 大众与众07; pinyin: Dàzhòng Yǔzhòng 07) is an upcoming battery electric mid-size sedan to be produced by Volkswagen under its Volkswagen Anhui joint venture and sold under Volkswagen's ID. UNYX sub-brand.
Overview
The ID. UNYX 07 is the 2nd model in Volkswagen's UNYX sub-brand, after the ID. UNYX 06, which is the Chinese-market version of the Cupra Tavascan.[2]
The MEB-based ID. UNYX 07 sedan is larger than the ID. UNYX 06 and is the first Volkswagen model to be developed using the China Electrical Architecture (CEA), a China-exclusive electronics/electrical platform which was co-developed with XPeng.[2][3] The platform was first announced in April of 2024 and uses a central computer as well as a zonal structure to control all electronics in the vehicle.[4] It is slightly larger than the Tesla Model 3, being 53 millimeters longer, 4 millimeters wider, 114 millimeters taller, but the wheelbase is 49 millimeters shorter than the Model 3.[5]
It took 18 months for development of the UNYX 07 to go from start to finish.[6]
Design and features
The UNYX 07 uses the same design language as the UNYX 06, featuring sharp headlights and an exaggerated lower bumper. A flat-top steering wheel is also expected to be utilized, making the interior design different from the UNYX 06. The large central touchscreen and the integrated seats are expected to be carried over from the UNYX 06.[2] It also uses the gold badges and the full-width light bars of the UNYX 06. A panoramic sunroof will also be used on the UNYX 07.[7]
Powertrain
The UNYX 07 was expected to use a 228 horsepower electric motor paired with a lithium iron phosphate battery made by Gotion with the rear motor being the same one used in the rear-wheel-drive UNYX 06 models. It is exclusively rear-wheel-drive.[7][8]
The UNYX 07 uses a 59.9 kWh LFP battery that gives it a claimed range of 558 kilometres (347 mi). Official filings now say the UNYX 07 has a power output of 231 horsepower.[9]
