From RMB 129,900! 4.8-Meter Electric SUV with LiDAR and 660 km Range — FAW-Volkswagen ID.AURA T6 Officially Launched
Exterior Design
The ID.AURA T6 adopts a new “Practical Naturalism” design philosophy, combining a clean SUV silhouette with modern intelligent-vehicle styling.
The vehicle is available in six exterior colors: Lark Gray, First Snow White, Pearl White, Galaxy Blue, Mountain Green, and Sunset Purple.
At the front, the SUV features split headlights combined with distinctive rounded matrix “square lights” and a full-width Star Ring light strip. The design gives the vehicle a strong visual identity, particularly at night.
The Star Ring daytime running lights also feature welcome and goodbye animations when the vehicle is locked or unlocked.
The vehicle is equipped with an active air intake grille, which automatically adjusts its opening according to vehicle speed, temperature, and the thermal-management requirements of the battery and electric motor.
Another practical feature is a 90-liter independently sealed front trunk, providing additional storage space.
From the side, the ID.AURA T6 features a long, horizontal character line, semi-hidden door handles, and black wheel-arch and lower-body trim. Depending on the configuration, the vehicle can be equipped with wheels up to 20 inches.
The body dimensions are:
-
Length: 4,811 mm
-
Width: 1,879 mm
-
Height: 1,648 mm
-
Wheelbase: 2,836 mm
At the rear, the vehicle uses full-width taillights connected by a continuous light strip. Welcome and goodbye lighting animations further enhance the vehicle's premium appearance.
Interior and Intelligent Cockpit
Inside, the ID.AURA T6 features the Yunqi intelligent cockpit and offers three interior color schemes: Velvet Beige, Honey Orange, and Cloud Gray.
The dashboard is equipped with:
-
15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen
-
10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster
-
25.8-inch AR-HUD
The intelligent cockpit supports continuous voice conversations, four-zone voice recognition, and dialect recognition.
Smartphone connectivity supports approximately 99.9% of major smartphone brands and is compatible with three major connectivity solutions: Apple CarPlay, Huawei HiCar, and CarLink.
The vehicle also supports tablet/PAD screen expansion and Wi-Fi-based vehicle control.
An AI intelligent desktop is also available. Based on an AI large language model, the system can analyze user intentions and proactively provide traffic information or identify interesting scenery along the route for photography.
Comfort and Seating
The driver’s seat supports 12-way adjustment, while the front passenger seat offers 16-way adjustment, including a four-way electric leg rest.
The front seats support:
-
Ventilation
-
Heating
-
Massage
The rear seats offer backrest adjustment and seat heating.
Higher-specification versions also feature a “Queen Passenger Seat”, with 12-way electric adjustment, a four-way electric leg rest, 10-point SPA-style massage, ventilation, heating, and welcome-memory functions.
The front seatbacks can recline to more than 170 degrees and support one-touch folding and restoration. When folded down, the front seats can create a relatively flat resting area with the rear seats, forming a space approximately 1.8 meters long.
Interior Lighting and Audio System
The ID.AURA T6 features interactive ambient lighting with multiple brightness levels, breathing effects, and multi-scene linkage.
The lighting can dynamically change its brightness and effects according to music, vehicle speed, and driving mode.
The high-specification version is equipped with 18 high-performance speakers, a 920W external amplifier, and an independent subwoofer.
Storage practicality is another highlight. The vehicle provides up to 38 storage compartments, while the luggage compartment offers 576 liters to 1,796 liters of capacity depending on the seating configuration.
Magnetic mounting interfaces are also available, supporting accessories such as magnetic phone/tablet holders, reading lights, multifunctional hooks, makeup mirrors, and storage boxes.
The cabin also features physical shortcut buttons that can be customized for frequently used functions.
Intelligent Driving: LiDAR and 420 TOPS Computing Power
Intelligent driving is one of the major selling points of the ID.AURA T6.
The vehicle is equipped with 25 high-perception sensors, including:
-
11 cameras
-
12 ultrasonic radars
-
1 forward-facing millimeter-wave radar
-
1 192-line LiDAR
The system uses the Horizon Journey 6H intelligent driving chip, with computing power of up to 420 TOPS.
The vehicle also introduces Volkswagen’s first-generation independently developed full-scenario intelligent driving assistance solution for the Chinese market, known as Hyper Sense 8 (HS8).
The system supports a range of driving and parking functions, including:
-
Urban NOA
-
Highway NOA
-
Point-to-point intelligent driving assistance
-
Intelligent parking assistance
-
Remote parking assistance
-
Roaming parking
-
Valet parking
This combination of LiDAR and high computing power gives the ID.AURA T6 a strong intelligent-driving hardware package for its price range.
Safety
For body safety, the ID.AURA T6 adopts a 9-horizontal, 4-longitudinal cage-type body structure.
The body uses three-layer hot-formed A-pillars, TRB hot-formed B-pillars, and a three-layer sill structure combining dual hot-formed steel and aluminum reinforcement.
High-strength steel accounts for more than 80% of the body structure, while hot-formed steel accounts for approximately 29%.
The vehicle offers six or seven airbags, with higher-specification versions adding a far-side airbag.
