Since 2021, new energy vehicles have become very popular. Market competition is becoming increasingly fierce, and the new energy market will definitely have huge potential in the future. In response to this trend and direction, Volkswagen has also launched the ID series of models for its own new energy market. As the first product of SAIC Volkswagen based on the MEB platform, the biggest difference between this car and other new electric vehicles is its completely flat chassis. Including more spacious and flexible space layout brought about by advanced platform-based technology. In addition, because the MEB platform adopts a design concept specifically for electrified power systems, the entire platform is built around batteries, abandoning complex internal combustion engines and oil circuits, which can bring more possibilities to new energy vehicles. It is of great help to the reliability and safety of the battery. Based on the above backgrounds, today we will take a look at the commendable features of the ID.4 X, which has relatively good sales in the ID series, under the new platform.
First of all, the overall body size has reached 4612×1852×1640mm. The body height of traditional compact SUVs is mostly around 1700mm. The car creates a low-lying visual effect. Coupled with the longer wheelbase, the body posture is more slender and the rear legroom is advantageous. At the same time, combined with the rounded side body, the proportions of the entire car are very coordinated. The appearance of the vehicle adopts the new ID series design language and a closed center grille. A luminous Volkswagen logo hangs in the middle and LED light strips extend on both sides. The entire front face creates a very strong sense of technology.
Coming to the side of the body, the overall design style is very rounded. The overall shape of the side of this car reminds me of the overall image of future cars in Disney movies. This rounded design makes the entire body look round and coordinated.
Coming to the rear of the car, the through-type taillights are the iconic design of the entire ID series models. And all have been blackened, and the bottom bumper uses a very sharp design style. Compared with the previous traditional family design style, the new design style has many more details from head to toe to highlight the technological sense of the vehicle.
It is worth mentioning that the car’s door handle design adopts a new hidden design. It also supports keyless entry and is full of technology.
The entire series is available in three tire sizes: R19, R20, and R21. The show car that the editor experienced is a mid-range version equipped with 20-inch wheels.
But as a traditional car company, it will also retain some traditional and classic design styles such as the interior. The instrument panel and central control screen are two must-haves, compared to the integrated large screen of and Tesla . It is much more practical in terms of driving habits.
Although the size of the instrument panel is not very large, the information that the driver can use is basically presented on one screen. It is very convenient to use.
It is worth mentioning that the car uses a new shifting mechanism. Similar to the design of blocking . Full of high-end feel
The entire vehicle uses a large amount of leather materials to wrap the front console to highlight a better texture. Without the gear shifting area, a large usable area is saved under the central control screen. After opening the two panels, a lot of belongings can be accommodated. But one disadvantage is that the overall speed area is very high and the bottom of the area is hollow. No special processing was done.
The control area for the main driving glass lift still follows the previous classic Volkswagen style.
The central control screen is equipped with an intelligent vehicle system. The entire vehicle is equipped with Volkswagen’s new Smart Connectivity 4.0 upgraded version of the vehicle-computer system. The system is very smooth. It also comes with unlimited data, can download Android apps, can be controlled by voice, and has excellent playability. In addition, practical functions such as air conditioning system, seat ventilation, and seat heating are all integrated into the system, and are controlled by touch screen, which is very smart.
In terms of safety, the car is equipped with the latest IQ.Drive L2 driving assistance of its own platform.With the support of ICAS2 control module, ID.4 CROZZ is equipped with IQ.Drive L-level system. It can realize functions such as full-speed ACC, lane centering, road traffic sign recognition, fatigue driving reminder, reversing side warning, etc., and its ability to capture lane lines and corner stability is also very strong.
The front seats are large in size and very good in wrapping. You will not feel tired after sitting for a long time. And the seat supports fully automatic multi-angle adjustment. A variety of sitting postures can be achieved, and the comfort is great.
The entire angle design of the rear seats is slightly lacking. First of all, the backrest angle is relatively straight, which makes sitting in this position uncomfortable for a long time. Friends who need to travel by car for a long time may want to consider this carefully. However, it is fully sufficient for daily needs. The overall leather and short-term riding experience are still relatively good.
Space is obviously very important for a compact SUV. The 164cm experiencer sat in the driver's seat and adjusted to the standard driving posture, and the headroom in the front row was huge. Driving visibility is very wide.
Compared with the front row, the space in the rear row is more important for SUVs. When the front seats are not moved, the head space in the rear row is very limited. There's plenty of leg room. This space performance can be said to be quite good, coupled with the panoramic sunroof at the head. The comfort level after sitting in the car is very good.
Under normal conditions, the trunk volume is 484 liters, which basically meets daily needs. The rear seats support 4/6 folding. After folding down, the volume can reach 1546 liters. This space can be said to be quite large, enough for a refrigerator and washing machine. In terms of power,
provides three endurance versions, 402 kilometers, 555 kilometers and 520 kilometers. Among them, the model with a range of 402 kilometers is the lowest model, which is given a 57.3-kilowatt-hour battery and a rear motor with a maximum power of 125kw; the second-lowest model with a range of 555 kilometers is provided with an 83.4-kilowatt-hour battery and a maximum power of 150kw. The rear-mounted motor; the 520-kilometer range is only used in the top-end model. It also has an 83.4-degree battery and is equipped with two front and rear motors with a total power of 230kw. This is also the officially promoted performance version.
Overall: As a compact SUV, the ID.4 X is very balanced in all aspects. The head and tail lighting system, internal HUD head-up display, voice control and the smoothness of the car system create a very technological atmosphere. And adopts a very avant-garde design language. It has designed many design styles that belong only to new energy vehicles, while also retaining some classic designs that were once found on fuel vehicles. In addition, the car's safety factor is also very excellent. In the previous crash test of Zhongbaoyan , it achieved G-level results in all four major indices. This is a rare good result in the history of evaluation, which is enough to prove that the car is very safe. But it also has a lot of small flaws. For example, space utilization needs to be improved. For example, the center console armrest box is hollowed out, which wastes the car's prime space. It's a bit anti-human; problems such as the rear seat backrest angle design being too straight are not so friendly to some consumers who need to travel for long periods of time. But overall, this car is still very good, and there is never a perfect car in the world. The choice depends on consumer needs.
