Beijing Motor Show Auto China 2026: VW group - FAW-Volkswagen
Vehicle shown
- VW Aura T6: D-segment SUV / BEV
- Annual volumes that can be expected in China: between 30,000 and 40,000 units
- Produced with FAW
Context
- FAW, one of two Chinese carmakers – along with SAIC – producing Volkswagens under license in China, is expected to present the first model of the ID AURA series, the all-electric T6 SUV, at the Beijing Motor Show 2026.
- It is an upper-mid-range SUV, similar to the Volkswagen Tayron but powered by an electric motor.
- It plays practically in the same league as the Audi Q6 E- Tron .
- This model is one of about ten ID models with alternative powertrains (BEV, PHEV or REEV) that Volkswagen is expected to launch in 2026 and 2027, including three from the UNYX series designed with Anhui (JAC), four from the ERA series designed with SAIC and two from the AURA series designed with FAW.
- FAW-Volkswagen has set itself the medium-term strategic goal of having new energy vehicles account for 60% of its total sales by 2030, which is a very ambitious target, given that BEV sales forecasts agree on a rate of 30% in 2026.

Beijing Motor Show Auto China 2026: VW group - Audi: E7X SUV, BEV
Vehicle shown
- E7X BEV SUV
- Designed and produced with the Chinese company SAIC.
- Annual volumes that can be expected in China: less than 10,000 units
Context
- Audi, which has been producing cars in China through its partnership with FAW since the early 2000s, has seen its sales decline in the country since 2023. The German carmaker saw its sales fall from 667,000 units in 2023 to 610,000 in 2024 and 585,000 in 2025.
- Even though this decline is not very significant compared to that of its direct competitors BMW and Mercedes, it raises questions for the carmaker, which now intends to implement a different strategy in China to try to revive its sales.
- Audi is collaborating with SAIC to design and market new all-electric models, such as the E5 sedan and the E7X SUV, while abandoning its traditional design with the iconic four-ring grille. This venture is risky, as it risks blurring the brand's image. Sales of the E5 sedan remain below the carmaker's targets.

- BYD did not want to follow the fierce price war provoked by its competitors, which caused a decline in its sales in 2026, aggravated by the reduction of Chinese government subsidies for BEVs.

- This large, all-electric SUV is expected to measure over 5 meters long with a wheelbase of over 3 meters, and will likely offer a three-row seating configuration.
