Volkswagen Group announced that the first vehicle jointly developed with Chinese electric vehicle maker XPENG has entered series production in China.

The all-electric SUV, called the ID*UNYX 08, is now rolling off the production line at Volkswagen Anhui’s plant in Hefei. Developed in about 24 months under Volkswagen’s “In China, for China” strategy, the model is designed specifically for the Chinese market and features advanced technologies such as 800-volt ultra-fast charging, Level-2 advanced driver assistance systems, and over-the-air software updates.

The launch marks a key milestone in Volkswagen’s partnership with XPENG, which began in 2023 to jointly develop electric vehicles and technology. The ID*UNYX 08 is expected to reach the market in the first half of 2026, as part of Volkswagen’s broader plan to introduce more than 20 locally developed new energy vehicle models in China this year.
