On November 3, two Chinese models of Volkswagen’s pure electric ID. family were unveiled in Shenzhen. Among them, FAW-Volkswagen named it ID.4?CROZZ, and SAIC-Volkswagen named it ID.4 ?X. It is reported that the new car has started production at the Foshan and Anting factories and will be launched in early 2021. The price of the first model will not exceed 250,000 yuan. Recently, Car Detective was also invited to visit the Foshan factory of FAW-Volkswagen. The factory has already started producing ID.4?CROZZ, and the official staff of FAW-Volkswagen introduced to us in detail the exclusive platform of ID.4?CROZZ—— MEB platform.
The MEB platform is a platform specially built by Volkswagen for pure electric vehicles. Everything about it revolves around and is adapted to the battery. Therefore, compared with ordinary platforms, the MEB platform has many advantages. From the architectural design, MEB fully considers future expansion and compatibility, body size, class, body form, and brand synergy to quickly achieve the scale of Volkswagen electric vehicle sales of 26 million units in 2029.
In terms of space, the MEB platform model has a larger wheelbase, shorter front and rear overhangs, no central tunnel, an increase of 140mm in the front row area, larger rear space, and a higher seating position. ; In addition, the MEB platform can achieve a cruising range of 300-550KM under WLTP operating conditions through flexible battery pack arrangement to meet the needs of different people for cruising range; and the MEB platform can achieve a front-to-rear weight ratio of 50 according to different battery arrangements. :50 ideal state to achieve the most ideal control.
Take ID.4?CROZZ as an example. As the first model built under MEB’s exclusive pure electric platform, with the support of MEB platform and E3 electronic and electrical architecture, ID.4?CROZZ has the above-mentioned MEB All the advantages of the platform. Thanks to the MEB compact design platform and modular electric drive matrix, the ID.4 CROZZ has an unprecedentedly spacious interior, and the tilted panoramic sunroof makes the interior space even wider.
In terms of battery life, ID.4 CROZZ adopts 84.8kwh large-capacity battery system + 175wh/Kg high battery pack energy density + truly efficient BMS energy management system, as well as intelligent energy management system, heat pump technology, low Wind resistance design and other aspects bring users a longer and more realistic cruising range.
Also benefiting from the MEB platform, the ID.4 CROZZ is also outstanding in terms of control. The 50:50 weight distribution can improve starting and acceleration performance, braking performance, and the vehicle's handling performance and cornering performance. The speed limit; the layout of front and rear dual motors can achieve four-wheel drive; the highly integrated electric drive system can achieve a high degree of "three-in-one" integration of motors, electronic controls, and reducers, improving the response speed of the electronic control system. Under these comprehensive conditions, the ID.4?CROZZ can achieve a maximum power output of 225kw, and it only takes 6 seconds to accelerate from 100 kilometers to 100 kilometers.
As an electric vehicle, it cannot lag behind in terms of intelligence. With the blessing of the MEB platform and E3 electronic and electrical architecture, ID.4?CROZZ has a brand-new intelligent cockpit, including IQ.?Drive? A comprehensive intelligent system including L2+ advanced assisted driving system + AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display function + ID.? Light interaction + ID.? Welcome intelligent welcome system and other functions. And in terms of intelligent interaction, ID.4 CROZZ can not only realize the overall interaction of the 5.3-inch digital instrument, 12-inch central control screen, AR-HUD, ID.?Light interactive light strip through voice, but also touch interaction and upgrade at the same time. Touch buttons enhance the technology experience.
Whether it is a pure electric vehicle or a traditional fuel vehicle, safety is always one of the core concerns of consumers. ID.4 CROZZ safety is designed and developed in strict accordance with the latest 2021 C-NCAP five-star standards. In terms of vehicle safety, the ID.4 CROZZ body uses a wide range of hot-formed steel plates, and uses reasonable energy-absorbing design, advanced laser welding technology and automated manufacturing technology to ensure the integrity of the passenger compartment under all collision conditions; In terms of battery safety, ID.4 CROZZ referred to the German Volkswagen high-level safety standards and conducted more than a hundred tests on the battery system. There are 197 corporate standards and only 18 national standards, far exceeding the 179 national standards.
Che Shentan has something to say: Generally speaking, as the first model under the MEB platform, the ID.4 CROZZ does have relatively comprehensive advantages, and with the blessing of the Volkswagen Group’s brand genes, the ID.4 CROZZ .4? CROZZ will definitely attract a large number of consumers. As for whether they are willing to buy it in the end, it depends on the final selling price policy. However, if we want to successfully transform to electrification, FAW-Volkswagen, the first true pure electric model, will definitely give more support, and in the next ten years, 20 pure electric vehicles will be born under the MEB platform. We will wait and see then. .
