The ID. ERA 5S is the first sedan in the ID. ERA family and Volkswagen’s first sedan globally to support urban NOA.
\nLimited-time offer prices range from 89,900 yuan to 119,900 yuan, below the pre-sales starting price of 115,900 yuan.<\/p>\n

SAIC Volkswagen<\/a> officially launched the ID. ERA 5S plug-in hybrid sedan at the 2026 Chengdu Auto Show, which opened on Friday, with a starting price below its pre-sales price as the joint venture seeks to gain share in one of China’s most competitive price segments.<\/p>\n

The new model is available in 5 variants, with official starting prices of 119,900 yuan ($17,680), 129,900 yuan, 139,900 yuan, 144,900 yuan and 149,900 yuan, respectively.<\/p>\n

SAIC Volkswagen is offering limited-time incentives for the new model, bringing prices down to 89,900 yuan ($13,260), 99,900 yuan, 109,900 yuan, 114,900 yuan and 119,900 yuan, respectively.<\/p>\n

The offers reduce prices by 30,000 yuan from the official list prices and include incentives such as a 1,000-yuan deposit that can be used as 5,000 yuan toward the final payment, as well as trade-in subsidies.<\/p>\n

Notably, the ID. ERA 5S had a starting pre-sales price of 115,900 yuan<\/a> when pre-sales began on August 11.<\/p>\n

The ID. ERA 5S is the second model in the ID. ERA lineup and its first sedan, following the ID. ERA 9X extended-range SUV (sport utility vehicle).<\/p>\n

The model measures 4,836 mm in length, 1,880 mm in width and 1,505 mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2,766 mm and a drag coefficient of 0.247.<\/p>\n

The ID. ERA 5S uses a 1.5-liter plug-in hybrid system, with the engine delivering a maximum power output of 80 kW and the drive motor producing peak power of 130 kW.<\/p>\n

It has a CLTC battery-only range of 160 kilometers and a combined range of more than 2,000 kilometers. Fuel consumption with a depleted battery is 2.82 liters per 100 kilometers, while charging from 30% to 80% takes 15 minutes.<\/p>\n

The cabin features an 8.8-inch instrument display and a 15.6-inch 2.5K central touchscreen as standard across the lineup, with the voice system jointly developed with iFlytek.<\/p>\n

SAIC Volkswagen said the ID. ERA 5S is the Volkswagen brand’s first sedan globally to offer urban NOA (navigation on autopilot) capability.<\/p>\n

Its Xingyun assisted-driving system is deeply customized based on Horizon Robotics’ (HKEX: 9660) HSD algorithm and supports highway NOA, urban NOA, automated parking, valet parking and cross-floor memory parking.<\/p>\n

At the auto show, SAIC Volkswagen also showcased the ID. ERA 8X and ID. ERA 5X for the first time, putting 4 ID. ERA models on display alongside the already-launched ID. ERA 9X.<\/p>\n

The ID. ERA 5X is the first battery electric vehicle in the ID. ERA lineup and is built on the CMP (China Main Platform).<\/p>\n

The joint venture plans to launch 7 new energy vehicle (NEV) models this year. The ID. ERA 9X was launched on April 25 and surpassed 10,000 deliveries within 2 months.<\/p>\n
