en.Wedoany.com Reported - Volkswagen recently announced that it will launch three new energy vehicle models on April 8, including the first SUV in FAW-Volkswagen's ID.AURA series. This new vehicle is positioned as a mid-size SUV, built on the brand-new CEA (China Electrical Architecture) electronic and electrical architecture, and becomes the first all-electric SUV under the Volkswagen brand to be equipped with LiDAR. Additionally, the Volkswagen Anhui's Yuzhong 08 and SAIC Volkswagen's ID.ERA 9X will also debut simultaneously. Their pre-sale prices are set at 239,900-299,900 yuan and 329,800-379,800 yuan respectively, with detailed configurations expected to be announced and orders to start on April 16.

According to previously exposed spy photos, the FAW-Volkswagen ID.AURA SUV features a closed front fascia design paired with split-type headlight clusters. The upper LED light strip is expected to have a full-width layout, while the lower high/low beam units adopt a square shape. A LiDAR sensor is mounted on the roof, and the exterior rearview mirrors integrate intelligent driving indicator lights. The vehicle is also equipped with semi-hidden door handles, a full-width taillight, and "Y-shaped" five-spoke dual-tone alloy wheels.

The FAW-Volkswagen ID.AURA SUV will be equipped with a high-end intelligent driving assistance system developed by CoolRide, a joint venture between Volkswagen Group and Horizon Robotics, specifically optimized for China's local road conditions. The CEA electronic and electrical architecture was jointly developed by Volkswagen and Xpeng. Its highly integrated design reduces the number of ECUs and the complexity of wiring harness layout, lowering the overall vehicle complexity. This model will integrate the latest intelligent technologies, three-electric systems (battery, motor, electronic control), and design elements, marking FAW-Volkswagen's entry into the Intelligent Electric 2.0 era.
