Volkswagen does understand the Chinese very well, many models launched by Volkswagen are designed and optimized for the preferences of the Chinese people, many of Volkswagen's special models, in the domestic sales are not low, the simplest example is the Volkswagen Tuang, this car in the medium and large SUV market can always rank at the forefront, sales are very high. However, from the sales volume in November, the sales of the ideal ONE are higher than those of Volkswagen Tuang, with a single monthly sales of 13438 vehicles, while the single-month sales of Volkswagen Tuon are less than 6,000 vehicles, which makes many people wonder: Why does Volkswagen not give strength?
In fact, it is not that Volkswagen is not powerful, you know, Volkswagen has laid out a number of medium and large SUVs in China, including fuel models such as Volkswagen Tuon, Lanjing, and Touareg, as well as pure electric models such as Volkswagen ID.6 X and ID.6 Crozz. However, the combined monthly sales of these models in November this year are only 12,445 units, which is also not as high as the sales of the ideal ONE model. It is worth mentioning that the CEO of Volkswagen China was not optimistic about the range-extending power carried by the ideal ONE, saying that the range-extending power is the worst solution, and that this power method is not environmentally friendly at all. So, why does the ideal ONE sell so well, and is its range-extending power really not working?
The pricing of the ideal ONE is high, its bare car price is 338,000, and there are indeed not many domestic cars priced at more than 300,000. However, the level of the ideal ONE is not low, it is a medium and large SUV, this level with more than 300,000 pricing, it is more affordable.
Of course, as a medium-sized SUV, the ideal ONE should naturally have a size worthy of a medium-sized SUV. The ideal ONE's three-dimensional data is 5030mm, the wheelbase is 2935mm, and the size performance is not small in medium and large SUVs. At the same time, the ideal ONE has a 6-seat layout in the car, and for a two-child family, the 6-seat layout is much more practical than the 5-seat layout.
In addition to the relatively large space, the riding comfort of the ideal ONE is also relatively high. Ideal ONE window glass is made of multi-layer sound insulation material, tires with Michelin-provided soundproof noise reduction tires, these configurations can reduce the noise in the car, the wind noise during the driving process, road noise are very small, the ride comfort will be improved. At the same time, the ideal ONE's interior seats are also relatively advanced, the seats themselves are wrapped in NAPPA leather materials, the first row of seats has a heating/ventilation massage function, and the second row of seats has a heating/massage function, which can really improve the ride comfort.
The power performance of the ideal ONE is also relatively good, it is equipped with dual electric motors, the maximum power is 245 kW, and the peak torque is 455 Nm. Purely from the perspective of parameters, the ideal ONE will not be much better than other pure electric vehicles, but this kind of power actually reaches the level of the V6 engine, and also allows the ideal ONE to break the hundred in 6.5 seconds, and in the fuel SUV within 400,000, few models can accelerate faster than the ideal ONE.
Endurance is not the weakness of the ideal ONE, under the blessing of the extended range power, the maximum endurance of the ideal ONE has reached 1080 kilometers, while the maximum endurance of the Volkswagen ID.6 X is 588 kilometers, and the gap between the ideal ONE is quite large. Moreover, the ideal ONE can supplement the battery life by refueling and charging different ways when running long distances. Other new energy vehicle owners need to worry about whether there are charging piles on the road, and worry that charging takes too long. But the owner of the ideal ONE does not have to worry about these problems, whether it is a charging pile or a gas station, the ideal ONE can be used. It should be noted that the ideal ONE refueling requires No. 95 oil, which will have a small impact on the cost of the car.
Finally, the product strength of the ideal ONE itself is not bad, its riding comfort is relatively high in the 300,000 models, and the power performance is relatively strong. At the same time, the ideal ONE and other electric vehicles, to achieve no endurance anxiety, drive it is more practical than driving pure electric vehicles, and there is no endurance anxiety like pure electric vehicles. That is to say, the ideal ONE is more suitable for driving in the current environment, which is also one of the important reasons why the ideal ONE can be recognized by users.
