Volkswagen's latest IQ.Light matrix LED headlights have been used in many models. The last time we tested the FAW-Volkswagen ID.4 CROZZ, the headlight test results can be said to be very surprising. The price of a single headlight is less than 6,000. Yuan, the low beam performance surpasses many models in the same price range, and the high beam even surpasses the Audi Q7 we tested before (101.1 meters) with a score of 118.8 meters. Not only that, the headlights also have very comprehensive functions, such as adaptive high and low beams, high/low speed low beam modes, etc. Unfortunately, the lighting system of the test car I got last time failed, so I was not able to experience it in the end. to these features. In order to make up for the regret, this time we found Lan Jing!
Lanjing is also the current flagship SUV of FAW-Volkswagen. For the same reason, its headlights can also be called the most attractive and valuable headlights of FAW-Volkswagen. This headlight can be said to be quite good in terms of functionality and appearance. As the saying goes, a mule is pulled out by a horse for a walk. It is definitely not enough to look at the static alone. It must be combined with the results and actual experience!
Model: 2021 530TSI four-wheel drive flagship Shengjing Edition Pro Guide price: 399,900 yuan
Light source: Both high and low beams are LED Featured functions: 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 6,000 yuan. This quotation is the after-sales order price of the 4S store, which is the price of purchasing one headlight. It can also be seen here that the part-to-part ratio of FAW-Volkswagen models is not high. Considering the car price, the headlights are not expensive. For example, the top-end Highlander we tested before was priced at 348,800 yuan, and a single headlight was priced at 6,698 yuan. (In fact, it is not expensive. The pure electric version of the Volvo XC40 costs 286,000 yuan, and a single headlight costs 17,000 yuan. If you pay for it at your own expense, you really can’t afford it!)
Note: All Lanjing series are equipped with full LED headlights with rain and fog mode as standard. The Jiajing and Tuojing versions can be equipped with IQ.LIGHT matrix LED headlights as an option. This configuration is standard on the top-end Shengjing version.
Lamp group composition & configuration analysis:
IQ.Light matrix LED headlights are full of highlights, from design to lighting effect. The automatic adjustment of the illumination pattern and the addition of smart light language also add a strong sense of technology, and it will indeed feel very dazzling when using the car at night! This part of the public has been moving closer to Audi, and even models equipped with IQ.Light matrix LED headlights are much better at lighting interaction than luxury brand models in a similar price range.
The exterior lighting can be adjusted to two modes: standard and dynamic through the large screen of the car, and the duration of the home lighting and welcome lighting can also be set.
Not only are there welcome lights on both sides, but there are also light strips on the luggage rack of Lanjing. In the past, if you heard so many lights, students who responded quickly would have thought of the auto parts mall, but the series of operations of Lanjing are not only not low. , and also improves the recognition of the entire vehicle a lot.
The welcome lights and the light strips on the luggage rack are cooler in color. When lit, they have a good texture and soft brightness.
The taillights are highly consistent with the ID family. If you don’t look closely at night, it’s really difficult to tell whether it’s the ID.6 CROZZ or the Landscape.
It has to be said that after Volkswagen applied the IQ.Light lamp set, the recognition is really much better than the original old car. Not only does the internal structure look more technological during the day, but the sophistication when lit up at night is also remarkable. Even the taillights also have dynamic lighting and extinguishing 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.
Low beam: neither a surprise nor a disappointment
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 4 meters). Although the performance of the low beam link did not bring a distance of more than 60 meters. Surprise, but the score at 54.3 meters can reach 85 points. Generally, low beams exceeding 50 meters are considered relatively powerful. The range is also further than the ID.4 CROZZ (52.7 meters) we tested previously.
Yuan Guang: The results are very surprising!
The previous ID.4 CROZZ measured a score of 118.8 meters, which was very ideal, even better than the Audi Q7 (101 meters). The high beam score of 144.3 meters brought by the Lanjing can be said to be very surprising. Currently ranked second in the headlight test column, the first place is the Mercedes-Benz S500L (189 meters), and the other models failed to break through 130 meters.
Special feature:
1. Follow-up steering:
When the vehicle is in D gear and driving forward, the headlights will automatically add light to the area on the same side according to the rotation of the steering wheel, illuminating the blind spot on the side where the front of the car is turning. The follow-up steering function of the actual test is very useful, and the fill light can The added area is very impressive and can effectively help the driver provide visibility on both sides in curves and when parking at night. Let me add something here. If you want to know whether your car has corner fill lights, the easiest way is to take a look at the structure on the inside of the headlight. Not all models have corner fill lights. Turn the steering wheel to fill in the lights when stationary. The lights will all be on.
2. Low speed/high speed low beam mode:
Lanjing's IQ.Light matrix LED headlights not only have a "conventional" adaptive high and low beam function, but also have two different modes for low beam. The headlights automatically adjust the height and width of the light based on information from the vehicle speed and steering sensors to achieve the most appropriate lighting effect. For example, in the city, when the field of view is relatively good and the vehicle speed is not fast, the headlights will adjust to low-speed low-beam mode. The inner lens module is adjusted to a low angle to provide basic low-beam illumination. Reduce the illumination distance and increase the lighting effect on both sides.
The applicable scenarios of high-speed low beam mode are mainly on some expressways, where the illumination distance is longer. The purpose is to provide the driver with a better vision in front and identify the road conditions ahead in advance.
3. Adaptive high and low beam:
Adaptive high and low beams are not a new configuration now, but this function is complex and requires high-precision camera hardware and excellent adjustment software. When implemented on a real car, the experience will be different. For some models in the previous headlight test, this function is not very ideal after experiencing it. For example, the high beam is stingy, or the camera recognition efficiency is not high, which will cause the problem of "not turning on the high beam when it should be turned on." Condition. Lanjing's IQ.Light matrix LED headlights performed well in this section. They did not hesitate to turn on the high beam on the road section. The switching between high and low beams was also clean and neat. The camera recognized and marked the headlights and taillights of the vehicle in front. Turn off or dim each LED light source to change the light distribution to avoid these targets, achieve zoned lighting effects, and effectively avoid pedestrians and vehicles ahead.
Figure: In adaptive mode, high beam is turned on at 35km/h and turned off at 20km/h.
The camera recognition efficiency is very high. Even the taillights of electric vehicles about fifty or sixty meters away can be recognized in time and the lighting in that area is turned off. You must know that the taillights of electric vehicles usually have very low brightness. The camera recognition efficiency of many models is as high as Not this high. In addition, when driving at high speed at night, Lanjing's IQ.Light matrix LED headlights can illuminate each sign area.
Edit summary:
Counting the previously tested ID.4 CROZZ, Volkswagen's latest IQ.Light matrix LED headlights have brought surprises for the second time. This fully proves that the price of the car does not represent the actual performance of the headlights. On the contrary, the headlights The pricing can be said to be very realistic. In the irradiation distance test, Lanjing is already more powerful than many million-level models we have tested. It has comprehensive and intelligent functions. From both the appearance and actual experience, this headlight performs very well. good. Of course, this top-end version of the Lanjing is indeed not cheap. If you say so, the ID.4 CROZZ is very cost-effective in terms of headlight configuration.
PS: When buying a car, few people focus on the headlights, but whether the headlights are easy to use or not is directly related to the experience of using the car at night. Therefore, when choosing a car, if you find two models with different configurations, the price difference is not high, and the headlight configurations are different, it is still necessary to spend a reasonable amount of money to choose the version with higher headlight configurations, especially It has configurations such as adaptive high and low beams and adaptive steering. There is still a big difference in driving experience between those with and without it.
