You already know what's going on, right?
Which party obviously belongs to ID.4, but after all, it is a very important strategic electric vehicle of Volkswagen brand, which is not suitable for exclusive use by FAW-Volkswagen or SAIC Volkswagen, so both joint ventures have arranged ID.4. ..
The version of faw-Volkswagen is called ID.4? Crozz, the version of SAIC Volkswagen is called ID.4? X (in order to further distinguish, SAIC Volkswagen gave ID.4? X gave a Chinese name "? Light bet 4? x”).
Actually, Crozz and x both mean the same thing. Foreigners often pronounce "x" as Cross, and "Crozz" is a variant of Cross with similar pronunciation.
It is a good idea to use X and Crozz as suffixes of ID.4, which can distinguish and emphasize the identity of SUV.
After all, if you only look at the name ID.4, you may not know what kind of car it is, but only know that it is a relatively new thing, and the high probability is an electric car.
Yes, it's an electric car.

Now ID.4 has been split into two versions, and there are two versions of North and South Volkswagen, which brings a huge pain problem-ID.4? X and ID.4? What's the difference between curly hair?
▲ faw-Volkswagen ID.4? curly hair
Actually, the ID.4 of FAW-Volkswagen? Crozz is closer to the original overseas ID.4, and its appearance almost follows the design of overseas ID.4. ..
And the ID.4 of SAIC Volkswagen? Although X is different from the overseas version, the change is not too big. On the front face, ID.4 can be distinguished by three feature points. Curly hair and ID.4? Ten.
▲ SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X
The most obvious is the imitation air inlet shape at the lower part of the bumper, FAW-Volkswagen ID.4? Curly hair is more conventional, SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X's black decorative board connects the two sides, and the overall effect is like a catfish mouth.
The second characteristic point is the position of LED strip in the bar grille, FAW-Volkswagen ID.4? The penetrating light bar at the front of Crozz is located above and connected with the eyebrow light bar inside the headlight.
And SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? On the other hand, the penetrating light bar of X-head is relatively centered, extending to the headlights on both sides and sandwiched between the upper and lower light bars of the headlight group.
The third feature is the design of the outside of the headlights, FAW-Volkswagen ID.4? Crozz is a smooth ending, SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X is a short extension backward, similar to the headlight design of Tiguan X.
The middle of the car body is expected. There is not much difference, just SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? There is an extra matte silver stripe at the bottom of the X.
It is worth noting that the front of ID.4 is short, probably because there is no need to reserve a position for the engine, leaving more space for the carriage.
As for the design of the rear of the car body, generally speaking, ID.4 is also a conservative style, which can make you see at a glance that it is all popular.
But what about faw-Volkswagen ID.4? Crozz and SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X also has some differences at the tail.
Two characteristics, the first is the lamp group, faw-Volkswagen ID.4? Crozz's taillights are made up of multiple rectangular light blocks, while SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X is dominated by light bands.
The through light bars of the two also echo the light bars of the front of the car. Faw-Volkswagen ID.4? Crozz's light strip extends to both sides above the logo, while SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X extends to both sides in the middle of the logo.
Followed by the lower part of the bumper, FAW-Volkswagen ID.4? Crozz's shape is more conventional, SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X has matte silver stripes and looks more energetic.
Generally speaking, although the two IDs.4.4 are obviously from the same mold, the differences in details still make them have different personalities.
In other words, the first mass production model of Volkswagen ID series should be ID.3, which appeared in China as early as last year, and the public has high hopes for ID.3. ..
There is a saying in the workshop that ID.3 is the golf in Volkswagen's electric car. It goes without saying how important golf is to the public and the automobile market all over the world.
▲ Volkswagen ID.3
In fact, ID.3, which is smaller than ID.4, is actually more suitable for the identity of electric vehicles.
Because at this stage, the more common use scenario of electric vehicles is urban commuting, and most of the time it exists as the second car of a family.
This situation will not change because of the emergence of more electric vehicles with wider design and use scenarios. The more important factor is the convenience of energy supply.
To put it bluntly, it is the charging condition.
Therefore, electric vehicles should be small and light, which is more in line with the role characteristics of this species in today's era.
However, we waited for a long time, but we didn't wait for the news that ID.3 would be made in China. This time, Volkswagen released ID.4 in a high-profile manner. The first one is the North-South Volkswagen, and it seems that the delivery is not far away.
The public is the opposite. Why?
If ID.3 is the golf in the Volkswagen electric car, then ID.4 is the Tiguan Mountain in the Volkswagen electric car.
In China auto market, SUV field is obviously more vigorous. For a traditional manufacturer like Volkswagen, having a stronger brand appeal may give the public different confidence to do something unreasonable.
On the other hand, the hatchback of the joint venture brand is really difficult to open the market. Golf sells well in China market. Maybe they can't guarantee that bringing ID.3 will have the same effect.
After all, strictly speaking, ID.3 is still a brand-new hatchback electric vehicle.
In addition, although ID.4 is an SUV, it is not large, basically a standard compact SUV, and the body size data is very close to that of Tan Yue.

▲ SAIC Volkswagen ID.4? X
Therefore, ID.4 may be the correct solution. In recent years, Volkswagen has been frantically launching SUVs in the China market, with a fierce momentum. Now it's time to come up with a pure electric SUV.
To tell the truth, it was somewhat unexpected that ID.4 was made in China so quickly, and it was officially listed at the beginning of 202 1.
It stands to reason that a traditional manufacturer can really put a new car into production in a very short time when it attaches great importance to its products. After all, there are funds and resources, and there is no need to squeeze toothpaste like the new forces. Step by step.
But the problem is that ID.3, the first model of the Volkswagen electric vehicle ID family, has stumbled. Earlier, we also had an article saying that due to large-scale software program problems, the delivery time of ID.3 was greatly delayed-ID.3 originally planned to be delivered overseas in the spring of 2020 was finally delivered to consumers in September.
Moreover, the first delivery vehicles still do not have complete functions, and the full version of ID.3 will not leave the factory until the fourth quarter (of course, the first owners can also choose to upgrade and update their vehicles later).
This is inevitably worrying. Is the domestic landing ID.4 really ready? This is an unknown question. Since Volkswagen can almost deliver the full version of ID.3 overseas, we can assume that the problem has been solved for the time being. ...
Next, let's talk about a controversial topic after the emergence of ID.4-rear wheel drum brake.
When it comes to drum brakes, many people will think that this is a relatively low-level braking structure, because drum brakes mostly appear in cheaper cars in the field of civil vehicles.
But most of them are only used in the rear wheels. Volkswagen, Toyota, Honda and other big factories all adopt the combination of front disc and rear drum braking forms.
This brings out two information points: first, the cost of drum brakes is low, and second, it is ok to put drum brakes on the rear wheels.
In fact, when braking, most of the braking force is borne by the front wheel, so most of the original cars have the front brake greater than the rear brake.
Even in many modified racing cars, we will find that they mainly modify and upgrade the front brakes, while the rear brakes only keep the original specifications and are enough for competitive use.
But usually as long as it is more than 654.38 million yuan, it will be equipped with four-wheel disc brakes as standard. This time it's not a low-profile ID.4 has rear wheel drum brakes. Should I be scolded?
If you are a friend who only makes specifications, it is right to scold.
But rationally speaking, for electric vehicles, the energy recovery system has actually shared part of the braking task. There is nothing wrong with drum brakes working at low load for a long time, which will easily lead to overheating and further reduce the risk.
Volkswagen also said that this is "the world's first drum brake with electromechanical parking". In short, as long as there are enough attributes, everything is the first in the world. (manual dog head help)
At present, there is not much more detailed information about the two ID.4 products of North and South Volkswagen, but some key points have been revealed, such as cruising range and price.
Saic Volkswagen ID.4? X claims that the price of the NEDC version with a battery life of 555km is not higher than 250,000 yuan, and the reserved version is in the form of rear drive, with a maximum power of 150kW and an acceleration time of 0-60km/h of 4 seconds; Faw-Volkswagen ID.4? Crozz's first version of NEDC has a battery life of 550 kilometers and is also in the form of rear drive.
In addition, FAW-Volkswagen also released the data of the front and rear dual-motor four-wheel drive version, with the maximum output power of 225kW and the acceleration time of 0- 100km/h of 6 seconds.
So the question is, did Tesla put the model before the National Day? 3 After the subsidy, the price is lowered to 249,900, and Volkswagen ID.4 also regards 250,000 as an important price barrier, which seems inevitable.
If it were you, would you choose a pure electric car made by a traditional car brand or a pure electric car brought by a new force?
