After the release of 1 month in the United States, Volkswagen's ace pure electric SUV? ID.4 finally ushered in the first round of China.
ID.4 was put into production in China by FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen at the same time. The two cars use the same power and intelligent configuration, but the design styles are slightly different, which are called ID.4? Curly hair and ID.4? Ten.

Two models will arrive in the store in the near future, and reservations have begun now. The price of the first edition after subsidy does not exceed 250 thousand, and it will be delivered to users in the first quarter of next year.
FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen revealed at the scene that the battery life of the two IDs.4.4 will exceed 550 kilometers (presumably NEDC standard), support 100kW fast charging, and have AR-HUD and L2-class automatic driving. Other information has not been announced.
Like ID.3, ID.4 is based on Volkswagen MEB pure electric platform. In terms of power, endurance and intelligence, it has improved qualitatively with the previous "oil to electricity" products, and is a well-deserved ace pure electric vehicle.
Volkswagen is the most popular passenger car brand in China, and its sales volume is obviously ahead of other players. The appearance and listing of ID.4 means that the giant has really launched a pure electric offensive, which will have a significant impact on the domestic new energy market.
Feng, CEO of audi ag China District, made it clear at the scene that by 2023, Volkswagen will launch eight ID models in China, with the goal of becoming the first in the new energy vehicle market.
1. Waiting for more than a year? Id card. Change ID.4 for the first time
In recent years, Volkswagen has determined the strategy of transforming to electrification, and launched pure electric golf, LaVida and other products.
However, most of these vehicles are based on platforms such as MQB, mainly fuel vehicles, rather than pure electric platforms, and their competitiveness is not outstanding.
ID.4？ curly hair
Volkswagen's real ace electric car is actually ID. The family based on MEB pure electric platform.
At last year's Frankfurt Motor Show, ID's first product. Family, ID.3 was officially released and gradually delivered this year. On September 24th this year, Volkswagen released ID.4 in the United States, with a starting price of about 270,000 RMB.
Because SUV models are the most popular products in China market, when Volkswagen released ID models in China, it chose to launch ID.4 first, and then ID.3 and other products.
During the Guangzhou Auto Show last year, Volkswagen exhibited a concept car called ID. Chu Jian is in China and says this will be the first id. Models listed in China.
Waiting for 1 years, ID. First, it was changed to ID.4, which was manufactured by FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC-Volkswagen at the same time and named as ID.4 respectively. Curly hair and ID.4? Ten.
Second, the battery life exceeds 550 kilometers? Volkswagen will set up its own charging system.
At the event site, FAW Volkswagen and SAIC Volkswagen did not disclose the specific parameters of the two new cars. At present, they only know that the cruising range of the two starting models exceeds 550 kilometers.
An executive of FAW-Volkswagen told the car at the scene that the battery life of 550 kilometers should be the standard of NEDC.
Saic Volkswagen ID.4? X
Although the official did not disclose more data, some clues can be seen from the new car application information and overseas versions of FAW-Volkswagen and SAIC- Volkswagen.
According to the declaration information, FAW? Volkswagen ID.4? The length, width and height of curly hair are 4592mm, 1852mm and 1629mm respectively. Saic Volkswagen ID.4? X is 46 12mm, 1852mm, 1640mm, and the car body is longer.
According to the actual experience, both cars are "small", and even have a feeling of ID.3 heightening version, and the front and rear row space is also the level of compact models.
ID.4？ X back row
According to the information previously exposed, the maximum power of the motors on the two ID.4 models is 150kW (about 203 horsepower), both of which are ternary lithium batteries.
Among them, FAW-Volkswagen will use batteries from Contemporary Ampere Technology Co., Ltd., and the assembly manufacturer is FAW-Volkswagen Automobile Co., Ltd. Foshan Branch, while SAIC- Volkswagen only indicates that the battery manufacturer is SAIC- Volkswagen Power Battery Co., Ltd.? .
The ID.4 released overseas is also equipped with the same motor, with an acceleration time of 8.5 seconds per 100 kilometers, a battery pack capacity of 82kWh and an EPA battery life of 402 kilometers.
This motor parameter belongs to the level of medium and low power 2.0T engine in the field of fuel vehicles, which is not strong. However, in the field of electric vehicles, especially products with a price of more than 200,000 yuan, the power parameters are still relatively general.
ID.4？ curly hair
An entry-level Tesla model with a starting price of 250,000? 3 is 280 horsepower, which is also a single motor version of BYD Tang EV with a power of 245 horsepower.
EPA is the most stringent endurance standard at present. Although the cruising range under this standard is lower than WLTP and NEDC, it is closer to the real cruising range.
Like the entry-level Tesla model? NEDC 3 (ternary lithium battery version) has a cruising range of 445 kilometers, but the EPA cruising range displayed on the instrument is only 390 kilometers.
ID.4 The overseas version of EPA has a battery life of 402 kilometers. It can be inferred that the 550km battery life of two domestic ID.4 should belong to NEDC standard.
When ID.4 was released overseas, Volkswagen said that it would launch a dual-motor four-wheel drive version with a maximum power of 302 HP.
In terms of charging, two domestic ID.4 models support 100kW DC fast charging at most, which can charge 80% in 45 minutes. The maximum charging power before the overseas version is 125kW.

Crucially, Volkswagen also took the lead in establishing the CAMS service brand, which will set up its own charging system in China. Volkswagen aims to achieve the goal of "one super charging station every five kilometers" in seven cities where electric vehicles are widely used in China in 20021year.
Third, the interior adopts a new design style? Dual-screen +L2 autopilot
MEB platform is equipped with the electronic and electrical architecture of Volkswagen E3, and the latest technologies such as Ethernet and domain controller are applied. On this basis, an intelligent ID card system is developed. Family is built.
ID.4？ The intelligent configuration of CROZZ and ID.4X is similar.
ID.4？ X internal
The core of the car is two LCD screens, one is a 5.3-inch full LCD instrument and the other is a 10-inch central control panel.
Compared with the common 12.3 inch, the full LCD instrument is much smaller in size, which mainly displays basic information such as vehicle speed and remaining battery life, as well as the perception of the auxiliary driving system to the outside world. The overall UI style is simple design, big card.
Compared with the existing Volkswagen models, the size of the central control vehicle is very large, and its UI interface is similar to the latest Volkswagen fuel vehicle, with large card and menu design, providing functions such as music, navigation and contacts.
ID.4？ X-car two screens
The on-board system of the live auto show cannot be operated. Judging from the previous experience of the German ID.3 model (the ID.4 system is the same), the response of the central control system is slower than that of the Android car, and there are fewer apps available in the car.
Like ID.3, both ID.4 models are equipped with the popular voice interaction system, and a red breathing light is installed under the windshield, which will have a lighting effect during voice interaction and enhance the sense of science and technology in the car.
AR-HUD demonstration
The ID.4 high-profile car also has an AR-HUD system, which can draw virtual information such as navigation on the actual road surface, further enhancing the sense of vehicle technology. In addition, from the live demonstration video, these two ID.4 also support Apple Carplay mobile phone mapping.
At the level of automatic driving, both models support L2 automatic driving system, the core function of which is to drive forward in the center of a lane. However, the official did not disclose whether these two models have advanced functions such as forced lane change and automatic navigation assisted driving.
SAIC Volkswagen executives said at the scene that ID.4? X's autopilot system belongs to L2+ level.
Fourth, 8 models will be launched before 2023? Volkswagen should be the first new energy source.
Feng, CEO of China District, audi ag, said at the scene that Volkswagen brand plans to achieve carbon neutrality in 2050, so it will achieve this goal through mass production of electric vehicles, among which id family is an important support.
He preached at the scene that by 2023, Volkswagen brand will launch 8 ID family models in China, aiming to be the first in the new energy market in China.
Volkswagen wants to be the first domestic new energy vehicle.
In the era of fuel vehicles, Volkswagen brands are household names in China, and Passat, LaVida, Jetta, Tiguan and other models sell well all over the country.
Now, Volkswagen hopes to replicate its success in the fuel vehicle era with pure electric vehicles based on MEB platform by virtue of the user base and sales channels accumulated in the fuel vehicle era.
However, judging from the first two models released today, Volkswagen has certain opportunities, but it is also facing no small challenges.
In the era of fuel vehicles, Volkswagen, as a giant, has always been the coveted object of other car companies. Because the engine gearbox technology of our own brand is obviously backward, it is more difficult to compete with it.
However, in the era of electric vehicles, especially in the era of intelligent electric vehicles, the new cars of major brands cannot keep the driving distance in electric drive performance, and the core of competition will focus on intelligent cockpit and automatic driving.
Tesla's success has illustrated this point.
Judging from today's release, the two models of ID.4 have greatly broken through the previous design style of Volkswagen in appearance, and are very young and fashionable, which is a style that young people like.
In addition, Volkswagen also has advantages in manufacturing, product quality, supply chain, sales channels and service channels, which are some key factors for the success of ID series products.
However, in terms of intelligence, the two ID.4 can only be said to keep up with the current mainstream configuration. Only autopilot, dual screen, voice interaction, AR-HUD and other technologies have been mass-produced by many independent and new car-making enterprises.
On the in-vehicle system, ID.4 does not use Android system, and the UI interface, interaction mode and application richness are not very prominent.
More importantly, the price within 250 thousand is actually not cheap, even if there is a model? 3 entry-level models compete head-on.
As for whether Volkswagen can replicate the glory of the era of fuel vehicles on electric vehicles, it will not be clear until the data is delivered in the first quarter of next year.
