VW Anhui gathers momentum with enriched lineup

Volkswagen Anhui presented its first all-electric full-size SUV concept, the ID. EVO, at Auto Shanghai 2025 on Wednesday, alongside the updated ID. UNYX 06 electric crossover.

The company announced it will focus on expanding its product portfolio, retail network, and user services as part of its "Year of Momentum" strategy.

"We will uphold our 'In China, for China' commitment, integrating German engineering standards with China's digital ecosystem to support the growing intelligent mobility sector," said Stefan Timmermann, CEO of Volkswagen (Anhui) Digital Sales and Services Company.

"The ID. EVO concept is designed for urban consumers who value lifestyle and individuality. With its new design, intelligence, and standards, it represents the direction of Volkswagen Anhui's future product development," he added.

The ID. EVO features 800-volt fast-charging technology, a maximum range of 700 kilometers, and an AI-powered L2+ driving assistance system for highway, urban, and parking scenarios. Charging is supported by more than 20,000 fast-charging stations across 420 cities through Volkswagen Group and its partners. The production model, scheduled for 2026, will retain more than 80 percent of the concept's design.

Volkswagen Anhui also introduced the refreshed ID. UNYX 06, equipped with the new ID.S 5.4 infotainment system and approximately 50 hardware and software upgrades to improve intelligent functions and entertainment features.

As part of its broader strategy, Volkswagen Anhui plans to launch two sedans and one SUV by 2026, targeting the A- and B-segment markets. The company is also enhancing customer engagement through digital services and immersive experience centers featuring VR technology.

By the end of 2025, its retail network will expand from 67 stores in 35 cities to 120 stores across 70 cities, with a focus on reaching customers in lower-tier cities and improving service accessibility.
