Regulatory filing: VW ID.7 coming to China
The ID.7 is 4,956 mm long and is powered by an electric motor with a peak power of 150 kW.
The new model of Volkswagen's ID family, the ID.7, may not be far from its launch in China, as it enters a regulatory catalog.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology today announced the latest batch of models that will soon be allowed to be sold, and the ID.7 from FAW-Volkswagen is included.
The Chinese public can submit feedback between April 12 and April 18. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process for a model to be allowed to be sold in China.
The ID.7 has a length, width and height of 4,956 mm, 1,862 mm and 1,537 mm, respectively, and a wheelbase of 2,965 mm, according to the filing page.
In powertrain, the model is available in only one version, with a 150-kW peak power motor and a top speed of 155 km/h.
It has a ternary lithium battery pack and the manufacturer is a joint venture between FAW and CATL.
In late January, Volkswagen announced that the ID.7, the sixth model in the ID series, will make its world debut in the second quarter.
The ID.7 will be a premium model and Volkswagen's second global model based on the MEB platform, following the ID.4.
On April 5, VW announced that testing of the ID.7 is almost complete and the model will be officially launched on April 17.
"The new ID.7 will enhance the upper mid-size class in Europe, China and North America," Volkswagen said in an April 5 press release.
Volkswagen's ID series of electric vehicles in China are produced by its two main joint ventures.
FAW-Volkswagen's ID. series models on sale are the ID.4 Crozz and ID.6 Crozz, two SUVs with suggested retail prices starting at RMB 217,900 ($31,660) and RMB 258,900, respectively.
SAIC Volkswagen's ID. series models are the ID.4 X and ID.6 X, with suggested retail prices starting at RMB 195,888 and RMB 259,888, respectively.
In addition to the two models in the ID. series, SAIC Volkswagen also offers the compact ID.3 model with a suggested retail price starting at RMB 162,888.
A month ago, as the price war in China's auto industry intensified, FAW-Volkswagen offered discounts of up to RMB 40,000 on ID. family models, bringing the starting price of the SUV series to as low as RMB 174,900.

Regulatory filing: Here are core specs for Denza N8
The Denza N8 is 4,949 mm long and will be available in two pure electric versions and two plug-in hybrid versions in the powertrain.
(All-electric version of Denza N8)
BYD's premium new energy vehicle (NEV) brand Denza released exterior images of its new SUV Denza N8 at the end of last month, and now a regulatory filing reveals its core specifications.
China's Ministry of Industry and Information Technology (MIIT) released the latest batch of models to be allowed for sale in a catalog for public comment on April 11, and the Denza N8 was included.
The public can submit feedback on the catalog between April 12 and April 18. Entry into the catalog is the last major regulatory process for a model to be allowed to be sold in China.
There are four versions of the Denza N8 in the catalog, including a single-motor all-electric version, a dual-motor all-electric version, a DM-i plug-in hybrid version, and a DM-p plug-in hybrid version.
The single-motor all-electric version is equipped with a 230-kW peak power motor, and the dual-motor version has 230-kW and 200-kW peak power front and rear motors, respectively.
(All-electric version of Denza N8)
The Denza N8 hybrids are all equipped with a 1.5 T engine with a maximum power of 102 kW.
In terms of electric motors, the more fuel-efficient DM-i version has a 160-kW peak motor, while the more performance-oriented DM-p version has dual motors with 160 kW and 200 kW peak front and rear motors, respectively.
All four versions support a top speed of 190 km/h.
The model measures 4,949 mm in length, 1,950 mm in width and 1,725 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,830 mm.
Denza began warming up for the Denza N8 in early March, sharing several images of the model on Weibo at the end of March.
Denza was established in February 2011 as a joint venture between BYD and Daimler, each holding a 50 percent stake at the time. The Daimler brand was rebranded as Mercedes-Benz in February 2022.
BYD's stake in Denza increased to 90 percent last year, and Mercedes-Benz's stake decreased to 10 percent.
In August 2022, Denza lets the D9 MPV go on sale, the brand's first model after the re-branding. The Denza D9 began deliveries at the end of October last year.
Prior to the Denza N8, Denza was already warming up for another SUV, the Denza N7, which will be officially launched in the first half of the year.
There are many customers who want to get the Denza N7 released and launched as soon as possible, and based on inquiry volume data, the model is expected to get 30,000 orders before it goes on sale in the middle of the year, Zhao Changjiang, general manager of Denza's sales division, said on Weibo on March 26.
BYD aims to sell at least 3 million vehicles this year and strive to reach 3.6 million, the company's chairman and president Wang Chuanfu said late last month.
