On September 20, 2026, Volkswagen will move the ID. AURA T6 from pre-orders to full sales in China. The preliminary range is 135,900–169,900 yuan, or about $20,200–25,300. Final pricing will be one of the key questions at launch: the current figures have been in place since August 28 and remain provisional.

The five-seat ID. AURA T6 is 4811 mm long and has a 2836 mm wheelbase. Its single electric motor produces 170 kW, or about 231 hp, while the claimed CLTC range is 540 or 660 km. Higher trims add a 192-line lidar and a Journey 6H processor rated at 420 TOPS. The system supports urban NOA, can memorize a parking route up to 3 km long and can reverse along a saved path for 200 m.

Technically, this Volkswagen has moved much further from the familiar European ID.4 and ID.5. It is based on the China Electronic Architecture, developed by Volkswagen Group China Technology Company, CARIAD China and Xpeng. Volkswagen officially links CEA with enhanced Level 2 driver assistance and continuous OTA updates. A similar turn toward Chinese development can already be seen in the five-metre ID. UNYX 08, created jointly with Xpeng.

The ID. AURA T6 nevertheless remains primarily a China-market car. Volkswagen is building such models around its “In China, for China” strategy, although the group is considering bringing selected China-developed models to Europe. Export of the AURA T6 itself has not been confirmed.

Outside China, the 135,900-yuan starting figure should not be treated as a future local price: shipping, import duties, local fees and seller margins can all raise the final cost. The next checkpoint is September 20, when FAW-Volkswagen is due to announce final prices.
