When will traditional brands make efforts in the field of electric vehicles? This has been a problem for the past two years. Tesla's market is getting bigger and bigger, and it has directly affected many traditional brands. After all, preconceptions have turned Tesla into a "luxury electric brand." Will there be a reshuffle until hydrogen power is introduced? As of now, it remains unknown. But in addition to Wei Xiaoli and some models of its own brands, the visibility of Volkswagen ID series models on the road is indeed getting higher and higher, so the editor of Feilu Automobile also decided to take the Taiwan test drive to experience it.
The focus of this issue is still the headlight test, because after Feiling Motors tested several electric vehicles, netizens in the background paid more attention to the headlights of electric vehicles. The ID series appeared more than once in private messages, so that’s it. , let’s first take a look at the headlight performance of ID.4 CROZZ. In the second half, the editor will share with you some daily experience. In short, if you have the intention to buy this car, you might as well spare a few minutes to watch the end.
Model: 2021 long-range PRO two-wheel drive version Guide price: 239,900 yuan
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED. Features: Matrix, adaptive high and low beams, follow-up steering, high/low speed low beams.
Car light quotation: The headlight quotation of the test model is 5,910 yuan. This quotation comes from the after-sales order price of the 4S store, which is the price at which everyone buys a car light. The price of a pair of headlights accounts for about 4.1% of the car price. Compared with the Volvo XC40 pure electric version we tested previously (286,000 yuan), the price of the headlights (17,000 yuan) can be said to be quite affordable. From the side, we can also see the gap between traditional joint venture brands and luxury brands. Differentiation.
In addition, there are currently no discounts on ID.4 CROZZ terminals. The best-selling model is the long-range version. The long-range version has a comprehensive cruising range of 550km. Taking the low-end model of the long-range version as an example, the price is only higher than that of the standard-range version. The model is 20,000 yuan more expensive, and the comprehensive range is 145km longer. The price is really not expensive. Friends who commute by tram to and from work every day will understand this!
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
The composition and lighting effect of the IQ.Light matrix headlight set look very outstanding. At the same time, it also has a strong sense of technology, can automatically adjust the illumination pattern, and also supports smart light language. The width lights and daytime running lights surround the outermost circle of the headlights, and the turn signals are integrated in the lower part of the width lights and daytime running lights. The headlight module consists of 18 individual LEDs, 11 of which can be switched off and dimmed individually.
The front through-type light group is not seen much so far. ID.4 CROZZ not only uses light strips to penetrate between the headlights on both sides, but also the Volkswagen LOGO in the middle can be lit. It looks very distinctive at night, with a cold light tone. It’s also very avant-garde, and it especially highlights the sense of identity of the ID family. I like it.
In addition, although the through-type taillights are not considered a distinctive design at present, the ID.4 CROZZ's taillights are very recognizable, especially when they are lit. And after unlocking the vehicle, the taillights have 3 dynamic lighting effects.
Car light brightness measurement unit: Lux (Lux)
Definition: When an object is uniformly illuminated by light and the luminous flux obtained on an area of 1 square meter is 1 lumen, its illumination (light intensity) is 1 Lux.
In the aspect of car light irradiation distance, we take the brightness of 10Lux as the minimum illumination limit, and take the distance value when this brightness is reached, which is the end point of irradiation for the final measured headlight score.
20cm is generally the minimum height of the vehicle's front bumper from the ground. We choose this position as the lowest position illuminated by the light. The distance from this position to the headlights is the illumination distance.
Illumination distance test:
Low beam: performance exceeds that of models in the same price range
On a straight lane, we took three reference lines on the left, center and right to measure the distance between the left, center and right of the low beam (the lane width is 3.5 meters). Although the low beam performance of ID.4 CROZZ is not a surprise, it is still. It surpasses many similarly priced models, such as Honda CR-V, Volvo XC40 pure electric version, etc. Generally speaking, if the low beam can exceed 45 meters, it is considered good, and if it exceeds 50 meters, it is considered very powerful. However, the low beam of most models is the farthest on the passenger side, and the ID.4 CROZZ is the farthest in the middle.
High beam: beyond imagination, surpassing million-level flagship models!
In the high-beam section, the performance of ID.4 CROZZ is beyond imagination. It is even further away (101 meters) than the top-of-the-range Audi Q7 that has been tested with a landing price of more than 1 million yuan. This once again proves that the price of car lights has no influence on actual performance. Reference conclusion. According to the models currently tested for headlights, those that can surpass the ID.4 CROZZ results currently include the Mercedes-Benz S500L and Lexus LS500h.
There are so many functions, but this time it’s a bit regretful
This high-end model with long battery life has a very rich headlight configuration. It has all functions such as matrix, adaptive high and low beams, follow-up steering, and adjustable headlight height. However, it is a pity that the lighting assistance system of this test car has appeared. Due to a malfunction, many of the above functions are also restricted, so I won’t be able to experience them for you this time.
High/low speed low beam mode:
Matrix LED headlights, I believe friends who follow Fei Lv Auto, are already very familiar with them. It can independently control the independent LED lights in the light group. Nowadays, it is no longer a rare thing. But the ID.4 CROZZ’s matrix headlights are even smarter. The headlights can automatically adjust the height and width of the headlights based on vehicle speed and real-time information collected by sensors, thereby providing high/low speed low beam modes.
In the low-speed low-beam mode, the illumination distance becomes shorter and the width increases. The application scene is mainly in cities. The purpose is to allow the driver to have a better vision of the dim environment on both sides.
In the high-speed low-beam mode, the illumination distance is longer. The purpose is to provide a better field of vision ahead and identify the road condition information ahead in advance. The application scenarios are mainly ring roads and some expressways, and the surrounding ambient light is neither strong nor weak.
The ID.Welcome light lighting interaction function brings human-vehicle interaction effects. For example, if you approach the vehicle with the key, the headlights will automatically light up and illuminate the driver's side. The details of the dynamic effects during startup and after power outage are very detailed. For example, when starting up, the Volkswagen LOGO position is illuminated first, and then the light strips on both sides are illuminated until the headlights are illuminated and swept. After the power is turned off, the headlights go out, the light strip goes out, and finally the LOGO position goes out.
Under the exterior rearview mirrors on both sides, there are also welcome lights that can illuminate the ground. They are divided into two modes. One is the Welcome mode that appears when you unlock the car and get into the car, and the other is the Goodbye mode. This interactive feeling, Very user-friendly!
Some usage experiences:
1. The battery life calibration is quite reliable.
When talking about trams, we must first focus on the issue of battery life that everyone is most concerned about. In addition to the official calibration of comprehensive cruising range, the cruising range in daily use cars is very important. When I got this car for a test drive, the battery meter showed 91% and the remaining cruising range was 422km. Before testing the light, the editor actually traveled about 120km during commuting. Basically, the air conditioner (26°C) and the front seat heating were turned on throughout the entire journey. After the trip, the remaining cruising range was shown to have dropped by 140km. Of course, the editor did not drive relatively violently. 80% of the whole journey was on urban roads, and the temperature was between -5℃ and 3℃. The overall performance is actually very good, the battery life calibration is reliable, and the remaining battery life is of reference significance.
The battery capacity of the long-range PRO two-wheel drive model is 84.8kWh. The remaining cruising range is dynamically displayed. The remaining cruising range is calculated based on the vehicle's real-time energy consumption and air-conditioning usage. For example, if the air-conditioning is turned on and off, the mileage will change directly, so There will also be situations where "the more you run, the more you run". Taking 26°C warm air as an example, the remaining battery life will be reduced by 60km after it is turned on.
2. Much more comfortable than Tesla Model Y
To be honest, it is really difficult to bypass Model Y with 300,000 yuan to buy an electric car. More than one friend has asked the editor about Model Y. But these friends were all dissuaded after test driving Model Y. There are two reasons for this. The first is that it is "too bumpy", and the second is that I cannot accept an interior with only one screen.
After experiencing the ID.4 CROZZ, the choice between the two cars was actually solved very well. First of all, Model Y is not cheap. The basic version costs over 300,000 yuan (not more than 200,000 yuan), while the ID.4 CROZZ long-range high-end version costs 239,900 yuan. Secondly, the design concepts and real product feedback of traditional brands are still very different from Tesla. In fact, compared with Tan Yue, ID.4 CROZZ has different hardware and driving methods, but the feedback from the chassis is quite similar. The heaviness and chassis tuning of the old German cars are not provided by the Model Y. Therefore, for those who care about comfort and ease of driving, the ID.4 CROZZ is a suitable choice. This also applies to new models with similar prices.
3. The car system has rich functions, but it is not fast and not easy to use.
The ID.4 CROZZ vehicle system is very rich in functions. In terms of functionality, it is not inferior to popular independent models. There is nothing wrong with the display style of the large screen and the feel of the interface, but the running speed and the feel of getting started are not user-friendly. The response speed of large screens is relatively slow, especially the loading time and exit time of opening applications, which have to wait. The air-conditioning system is also integrated into the large screen and can only be operated in the secondary menu. Most of the other relatively commonly used functions require sliding or clicking on the menu before operating. It does seem a bit troublesome to get started for the first time. There is plenty of room for optimization.
Full text summary:
Overall, the performance of ID.4 CROZZ in this test is quite surprising, especially the high beam performance. The performance of nearly 120 meters has exceeded some models with a price of over one million. In addition, the headlights are not only rich in functions, but also satisfactory in appearance and interactivity. Unfortunately, many functions cannot be experienced in the test drive, and the actual performance has yet to be verified. In terms of usage experience, ID.4 CROZZ is in line with everyone’s inherent impression of Volkswagen brand models, and the long-range version is priced at less than 250,000 yuan, which I believe can fit into the car-buying budget of many families.
