The cumulative deliveries of the Volkswagen ID. pure electric series in the global market have reached 500,000 units, a year earlier than VW's predicted target. In the domestic market, this initially unpopular series also contributed 200,000 of them. The mid-size SUV SAIC Volkswagen ID.6 X, which we are going to see here, is the highest-positioned production vehicle among them.
As a mid-size electric SUV, space is perfectly adequate
Compared to the past VW, VW ID.6 X exaggerated design language should be its biggest selling point for visual distinction, especially the very aggressive headlights, with the light band into the logo, the vehicle is visually presented not only with personality, but also to grasp the current expectations of young people for new energy. Of course, compared to those new forces we see, the Volkswagen ID.6 X in the front very rich layers and closed hole structure, will make it look a little fuller, or is a continuation of that sentiment of many people to the fuel car design.
There are two special designs on the side and rear, with narrow window structures and hidden door handles on the side, and a longitudinally extended rear windshield tailgate and black panel trimmed through tail light clusters at the rear.
Of course, the Volkswagen ID.6 X in the mid-size SUV market is sure to attract criticism, thought that in addition to the 2965mm wheelbase is still relatively impressive, 4876/1848/1680mm three circumference is actually closer to a mid-size SUV, but also a high standard of mid-size. And for such size space, its wheelbase can still make the rear two rows become more coordinated, 177cm tall experience can get 1 fist headroom in the second row, although the back seat is still not much head and leg margin, it can still meet the emergency use of adults, in addition to the knees will be lifted a little higher, do not need to ride here in a bowed back posture. At the same time, even if the three rows are shared, it still has a 202L trunk, put three small size laga country still can put, and after adjustment, its maximum volume can reach 1820L, family transport is completely enough.
ID.6 X price: Is the level of intelligence enough?
Perhaps such a set of interior design and center control layout, we already feel rare, but you should know that before models such as the Lang Yi did not change to a similar design, in addition to the Touareg VW are still using the T-shaped center control layout, but it is from the VW ID.6 X and other ID. pure electric series, simple center console structure began to deflect touch as the center, including the main driver lighting touch panel, 12.0-inch touch screen, three-spoke touch steering wheel and air conditioning touch bar, etc. Although it has a large number of control keys, but the degree of digitalization has actually exceeded the vast majority of new power SUV products, at least within 300,000 yuan, the Volkswagen ID.6 X has not been able to find too many rivals.
Not only the digitalization of the controls, but also the IQ.Drive and MOS Smart Car Connection of the VW ID.6 X are both more intelligent than the mainstream models, and both of them are standard in the whole system. The former can bring L2 level assisted driving + full-speed adaptive cruise and upgrade the standard back-up camera to panoramic camera; the latter adds mainstream functions such as intelligent voice and remote car control in the case of outrageous CarPlay/CarLife cell phone connectivity, and of course, AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display can also be added to assist the small 5.3-inch full LCD instrument cluster.
Perhaps for most consumers, the subversion of the exterior and interior, as well as the improvement of digitalization and intelligence, is not the biggest highlight of the Volkswagen ID.6 X. Compared to the past Volkswagen, the most significant improvement lies in the "generosity". In addition to the two in-car systems, the matrix LED headlights, ambient lighting, panoramic sunroof, dual-temperature air conditioning, heated steering wheel, and even heated power front seats are now standard, and as the configuration improves, the Volkswagen ID.6 X will also have an inductive power tailgate, wireless charging pad, Harman Kardon audio, and multi-zone independent heat pump air conditioning, and even leather These advanced gadgets make it more suitable than the new power for families or young people who have limited budget and want a three-row pure electric SUV.
Range and power: strength should not be underestimated
Unlike past fuel models, the Volkswagen ID.6 X does not have such a complicated product model classification. 2023 four models cover three power specifications and two capacity battery packs, the most entry model gets a 132kW, 310N-m rear electric motor with a 460km range, while the 617km long range version has the maximum power of the electric motor As for the 555km 4WD version, it gets 230kW of maximum power and 472N-m of maximum torque from the dual motors. Although SAIC Volkswagen has not announced the 0-100km/h acceleration performance of the vehicle, in many media tests, the 6-second zero-hundred acceleration is not a problem.
The MEB architecture platform gives the VW ID.6 X a set of McPherson + multi-link independent suspension combination, in the top model, they will add DCC dynamic chassis control system, that is, support rigid adjustment of the variable suspension system, will let the VW ID.6 X in response to changes in road conditions seem more comfortable.
As a slow-burning series, the VW ID. pure electric has experienced an initial downturn, and despite its slowing growth trend into 2022, it still occupies a place in the market as traditional Chinese car brands enter the market and new forces move into the high-end, VW's strength is still not to be underestimated. Of course, we look at it objectively, VW ID.6 X compared to the new force of medium and large SUVs have a lot of aspects are in the backward side, but look at today's joint venture pure electric flagship is only 253,300 yuan, while the new force has been sold to 300,000 yuan +, even if the VW ID.6 X grows a little smaller, the degree of intelligence is not so exaggerated, but a little bit of everything, a little bit of everything is innovative The VW pure electric SUV will obviously be a sustainable force in the segment. If not ready to accept the new force, this cheaper than the Chinese brand of pure electric 6-seat / 7-seat SUV, may be that more appropriate choice.
