To say that the best selling electric car brand in the European market is not the well-known Tesla, nor other "new car-making forces", but an "old" car company, which is Volkswagen's ID series. So far, the ID series has launched 4 models, there are ID.3, ID.4 and ID.6, etc., the 5th model is ID.BUZZ, it is a pure electric MPV, has been introduced before, today we will take a look at another new car of the ID series - ID.LIFE concept car. The car is a small SUV that will be officially produced as the "ID.2" and will be priced at about 20,000 euros (about 150,000 yuan) and is scheduled to be launched in 2025.
Isn't it familiar to see the appearance of the ID.LIFE concept car? In my opinion, it is very similar to the Range Rover, but in much smaller size. The main reason for this feeling is that the front of the new car is very square, and the roof adopts a suspension design, which is similar to the Land Rover Range Rover. Specifically, the front face of the new car adopts a real closed design, why is it a real closed design? The "closed design" of other electric vehicles is mostly only the front grille closure, other parts such as headlights, lower grille and air intakes will still adopt the design of transmission fuel vehicles, and the front face of the ID.LIFE concept car does not have a "hole", the headlights, taillights are integrated with the front and rear trim panels, it looks like "painting" up, the designer's "brain hole" is very large.
The wheel rim shape of the new car is also very chic, just like two Mercedes-Benz logos with one positive and one opposite, and the brilliance of the "three-pronged star" finally shines on the public. The hidden design of the doors is already common in electric vehicles, and of course, it is also common on the Land Rover brand, and it still looks very technological. In addition, the front hood, A-pillar, B-pillar, C-pillar and roof of the new car are all blackened, which is a typical two-color body design, which still feels very stylish. In terms of size, the new car is a small SUV with a length, width and height of 4091*1845*1599mm and a wheelbase of 2650mm. The car has a ground clearance of 190mm, and the approach angle and departure angle are 26° and 37° respectively.
Interior, because it is a concept car, the interior design is very "abstract", it is expected that the interior of the official mass production model will have greater changes, but some design elements should be retained, this "weird" steering wheel should be replaced by an ordinary circular steering wheel, the LCD dashboard in the middle of the steering wheel will be placed in its original position. What is more amazing is that the car is equipped with a 34-inch projection screen and a built-in game console, for young people who love to play games, is this configuration "the last straw that crushes the camel"? Will these young people choose 34-inch projection screens and game consoles?
Its seat layout is also very "weird", the rear seat cushion is very narrow, after the front seat is reclined, it can form a "big sofa" with leg rest with the rear seat (the front seat headrest is the leg rest), isn't this a mobile "game room"? Volkswagen's "brain hole" is really not generally big, from this point of view, Volkswagen ID.2 is mainly aimed at those game otaku or game otaku.
In terms of power, the car is built based on the MEB platform, using front-wheel drive, the maximum power of the motor is 172kW, the maximum torque is 290N·m, and the time to break the hundred is within 6.9 seconds. In terms of battery life, the car is equipped with a battery pack with a capacity of 57kWh and a cruising range of 400 kilometers under WLTP conditions. If Volkswagen made the ID.2 domestically, would you consider this car?
