Unyx 08 was introduced, based on the design of the ID. Evo concept, and now the ID. Era concept has also evolved into a large crossover\/SUV called the ID. ERA 9X. The manufacturer has released official photos, while basic technical data have also been published in the homologation database of China\u2019s Ministry of Industry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">The production version of the ID. ERA 9X does not differ significantly from the prototype. For example, the vertical blocks of the front headlights received new LED internals, while the rear license plate was moved from the bumper to the tailgate. A different spoiler has been installed, and a lidar unit has appeared on the roof.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"heading-mb col-body heading-text-style font-bold charcoal-color\">Dimensions and Wheel Options<\/h2>\n<figure class=\"relative col-body mb-4\">\n<div class=\"relative\"><img alt=\"Volkswagen ID.

In the rear-wheel-drive version, a single electric motor with 299 horsepower is installed, combined with a lithium iron phosphate battery with a capacity of 51.1 kWh, enabling an electric range of up to 166 miles according to the WLTC cycle.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0 charcoal-color\">A variant with an NMC battery with a capacity of 65.2 kWh is also available, providing an electric range of up to 211 miles without starting the internal combustion engine. The same battery is used in the all-wheel-drive version, where an additional 218-horsepower electric motor is located on the front axle, while the range is reduced to 199 miles according to WLTC. The full market debut of the Volkswagen ID.
