The "Empire Strikes Back" of Volkswagen ID.4 Family

Looking at the whole new energy vehicle market, who sells the best? Now it is estimated that everyone will mention Tesla, but who is more topical in the domestic auto market? Besides Tesla, I believe there are Weilai and Ideals, and even Wuling Hong Guang MINI? EV. But looking back, those traditional automobile brands, such as Volkswagen, BMW and Mercedes-Benz, are trying their best to promote their own new energy vehicles, but they started late or felt that new energy vehicles were not the focus of development at the beginning, and they were left behind by many new car-making forces for a time. Previously, we saw that new models of Mercedes-Benz EQC, BMW iX3, Audi and other brands were constantly introducing new products to the market.

There is a saying that a thin camel is bigger than a horse, which is self-confidence. The "Empire Strikes Back" really began when a car giant began to devote himself to the research and development of new electric vehicles.

Two days ago, Volkswagen Group officially opened in China? The veil of the Volkswagen ID.4 family, one is called ID.4? CROZZ, the other name is ID.4? 10. Of course, SAIC Volkswagen, which is good at marketing, also gave its own ID.4? X is a brand-new Chinese name-Guanghe.

Before the introduction of ID. Families and Volkswagen have also introduced new energy vehicles. For example, electric golf, such as electric Bora and pure electric LaVida, but these models are really not the styles of new energy vehicles acceptable to domestic consumers at present. "Volkswagen is really behind the times in the field of electric vehicles." At that time, I believed that many friends would have such an idea. So, this time, after ID. Family has brought a newer and more authentic ID.4 to both North and South Volkswagen partners, and Volkswagen has finally begun to exert its strength in the electric vehicle market.

Say a few figures, the price of pre-sale models does not exceed NEDC cruising range of 250,000 and 550 kilometers. Plus IQ. Compared with the previous Volkswagen, Volkswagen's ID.4 family and its own charging network, do you think this serious Volkswagen can not make people afraid?

Speaking of the vehicle itself, what is ID.4 like? What else is special? First of all, the two ID.4 models unveiled this time are positioned between compact or medium-sized SUVs. FAW-Volkswagen is more original, and SAIC-Volkswagen is more willing to be the "X" body of the coupe. Therefore, we don't have to care too much about whose models these two cars are, only that they look streamlined as a whole. People's officials have also said that our ID.4 is the most streamlined new energy vehicle that Volkswagen can make at present, and its drag coefficient is quite excellent.

In addition, the most eye-catching place on the front face of ID.4 is the luminous LOGO logo and seamless design style. Basically, when you look at it from a distance or from a close distance: Well, this is the public, and the feeling of labeling is still obvious. Then there is the ID.4 doorknob, which is very interesting and uses a semi-hidden doorknob. We all say that the original popular door handle is the kind that sticks out. However, this time, the two ID.4 door opening methods are not so laborious, because Volkswagen has installed a hidden electronic control switch on the armrest of the car door, so you can open the car door by gently holding the handle and then pressing it.

In addition, the interior of ID.4 is really different from the current Volkswagen model, although the steering wheel is still a bit like the eighth generation digital golf. However, as far as the overall interior layout is concerned, the application scope including the suspended center console and the whole central control panel has changed greatly. "Others have it, so we should have it", so ID.4 also followed the trend, and installed multi-color background atmosphere lights in the car, which also added a lot of color to this set of interiors.

Since it is a product of MEB platform, ID.4 certainly has more smart devices. The augmented reality head-up display can project virtual instructions and animations onto the road ahead, so that driving and road information can be integrated with reality, although this operation is carried out on the Mercedes-Benz A35L? I've seen one or two on AMG, but it's the first time for the public. Another intelligent technology, IQ. Driving, making driving easier, vehicles and a new generation of travel through? Assist cruise assist system makes drivers more convenient and worry-free at high speed, loop and traffic jam.

In fact, I think the focus of this ID.4 debut is not only two cars, but more importantly, Volkswagen announced that it will open a brand-new charging network system in China, which is somewhat similar to Tesla's self-built charging network, which will greatly facilitate consumers who subsequently purchase ID.family products such as Volkswagen ID.4.. Volkswagen plans to create its own exclusive charging facility through the joint venture Camace. By the end of this year, Volkswagen's own exclusive charging network will increase from the current 40 super charging stations to more than 250, including 3,600 charging piles, covering China 16 cities.

From now on, the emergence of the ID.4 family is not only to tell everyone that we can do well in the field of electric vehicles. Moreover, the battery life of the two models is more than 550 kilometers, and the current pre-sale price is also less than 250,000 yuan, so the realistic question is: Who is its competitor? If you look at the pure electric vehicle market, including Tesla models? 3 and the model behind? Y, including Ideal, Weilai ES6 and other models that we are familiar with now. It is this auto giant that re-examines the market of electric vehicles and new energy vehicles, enters the market with ID.4 first, and then builds its own charging network. I believe that Volkswagen is not only selling more cars in the domestic electric vehicle market. Although we can't shout the slogan "Wolf is coming" to other electric vehicle brands, the domestic aura of Volkswagen brand, coupled with its abundant funds, good product strength and exclusive charging facilities just mentioned, the prospect of ID.4 family is still very exciting.
