Volkswagen's first custom-tailored EV rolls out as it retakes the top spot in China
https://electrek.co/2026/03/13/volkswagens-first-custom-ev-rolls-out-after-taking-top-spot-in-china/
Volkswagen sold over 100,000 vehicles in China last month, overtaking BYD and Toyota as the top-selling car brand. To stay ahead, Volkswagen plans to launch a new EV every two weeks on average, or “China Speed.”
After BYD ended Volkswagen’s 15-year run as China’s top-selling car brand in 2023, Volkswagen is looking to make a comeback. Volkswagen was once again the best-selling auto brand in China in February 2026, ahead of its biggest EV offensive yet.
As part of its “In China, for China” strategy, the European automaker is going on the offensive, with plans to launch a new EV every two weeks on average this year, starting with the ID.UNYX 08.
The ID.UNYX 08 is Volkswagen’s first fully connected, purely electric full-size SUV developed through its partnership with XPeng.
