The development trend of domestic new energy vehicles is much more violent than expected, and many friends around me have been using new energy vehicles for a long time, and smooth driving and low-cost travel experience are important factors in their choice of new energy vehicles. Looking at the new energy models currently on sale, most of the driving experience is relatively uniform, and few can truly understand the essence of "driving".
Liu Yunqing, a senior editor who is obsessed with electric cars
Liu Yunqing, the senior editor of the newsroom, is also a car fan, every time the newsroom comes to test drive, he is like smelling the taste of prey, always scrambling to test drive, experience. If you ask him what he wants from the car, he will tell you without hesitation: good control and strong performance! Whenever he has free time, the information and videos of the performance car will always appear on the screen of his mobile phone or computer, and he will enjoy watching it.
Considering that the original fuel trolley at home was restricted by Guangzhou, and he needed to go in and out of Guangzhou every day, it was precisely in guangzhou that the new energy vehicle could be directly licensed without indicators in Guangzhou. In the face of such a policy, Yunqing's choice of additional purchases is biased towards new energy models.
A long time ago, Yun Qing and we mentioned: I want to buy the second car at home, when everyone also gave various opinions and suggestions, but did not think that a new energy vehicle has quietly entered his car purchase list. Later, we learned that volkswagen ID.3, which had been to the newsroom before, successfully attracted his attention, and in Yunqing's words, it was "planting grass after a try."
Yun Qing said that at that time, he was deeply impressed by the test drive Volkswagen ID.3, and one day he inadvertently saw the beautiful picture of volkswagen ID.3 on social platforms, and the idea of "choosing Volkswagen ID.3" was more firm.
Unexpected good looking
Volkswagen ID.3 shows the design language of Volkswagen's new era, the front face adopts a closed design, and the overall shape is very futuristic. Yun Qing said: "Although the front face is simple, the two sides of the front bumper and both sides of the light cavity have adopted a honeycomb-like design, which is rich in detail and has a strong three-dimensional sense. ”
Volkswagen ID.3 has a variety of body colors to choose from, of which "Aurora Green" is very much in line with the aesthetics of Yun Qing, just because of the personality of the color, it can be found far away in the parking lot, driving on the road has also attracted a lot of people's attention to appreciate, the return rate is quite high.
Easy to use the intimate cabin design
Unique and personalized design continues to the carriage, Volkswagen ID.3 adopts a concise design method, the suspension of the full LCD instrument and the central control screen for the carriage to add a lot of sense of science and technology, it is worth mentioning that the Volkswagen ID.3 is a full-touch interaction mode, reflecting the new intelligent cockpit design concept; in addition, the design of its storage space is also more diverse.
When turning, the sideways situation can be clearly seen through the triangular window, and the pedestrians are courteous in time and non-motorized vehicles are avoided.
The deflection angle of the suspension central control screen is just right, and it is quite good to use, the interface UI respects the concise design, the interface only displays the icon in the default state, but when the hand is close to the screen, the corresponding text will be displayed immediately below the icon, Yun Qing said that the small design is very careful.
Usually after getting on the car, Yun Qing is used to connect to Apple CarPlay, listen to his favorite programs, songs, when friends send location addresses, you can also directly display and open navigation on the map, it is very convenient to use.
Volkswagen ID.3 seat is also not short of highlights, you can see the leather and fabric stitching on the backrest using an asymmetrical design, giving people a different visual experience, and the ID. series LOGO is presented in a punched way, and the design can be ingenious.
Since changing the car to a Volkswagen ID.3, Yun Qing spent his lunch break at work in the car, he adjusted the seat to a semi-reclining state, turned on the air conditioner (pure trams do not need to worry about idle fuel consumption and carbon deposits), and slept in the car with peace of mind.
It has been a few months since the car was picked up, and Yunqing has discovered some intimate designs of the Volkswagen ID.3, such as the signs marked "play" and "pause" on the acceleration and brake pedals, which complement the fun of the whole car; in addition, the small storage compartment behind the front cup holder adopts a tilting design, the mobile phone can be easily picked up and placed, and the rear storage compartment can be freely changed to the interval, flexible and changeable.
A refreshing driving experience
As a new energy vehicle, the Volkswagen ID.3 shows a very mature driving style, and Yun Qing said that it has found a very strong "popular flavor", which may be summarized by the word "easy to open". After all, it is a new era model, and the convenience of the Volkswagen ID.3 starts from the start: as long as you sit in the main driver's seat and press the brake pedal, the Volkswagen ID.3 immediately enters the "standby" state, without the need to use the "one-button start".
As can be seen on the electronic gear lever, the Volkswagen ID.3 can switch to B gear in addition to the regular D stop. Yun Qing said that in the D-gear mode, the driving experience of the Volkswagen ID.3 is no different from that of the traditional fuel vehicle, the taxi with the gear is still smooth, and the acceleration will not change in the "organ style", ensuring the comfort of the driver.
When driving in B gear, the brake pedal is not needed in many cases, such as the gradual deceleration of the car in front, the gradual slowdown of the road conditions in front, etc., as long as the acceleration pedal is released, the deceleration can be performed. Of course, parking and parking still need to actively press the brake pedal. Yun Qing believes that the B gear is more suitable for use in the city, without frequent braking, reducing the fatigue of driving.
The adaptability of volkswagen ID.3 is indeed very wide, cities need to be flexible, it has! Suburbs need power, and it has too! No wonder Yun Qing said that he was "more and more liked".
Good performance of driving assistance
The complete L2-level driver assistance system is installed on the Volkswagen ID.3, and the full-speed domain ACC adaptive cruise, lane keeping and other functions are readily available. Among them, the performance is smooth in the process of following the parking front car, and there is no abrupt braking action; in addition, when using the lane keeping function, the system can keep the body in the center of the lane very well, and the steering adjustment of the steering wheel is also more natural.
Usually on/off work, Yunqing will pass through the city expressway, urban area, highway, it can be said that a commuter road can experience all kinds of road conditions. He said that the L2 driver assistance system is not only easy to use at high speeds, but also has a good experience on ordinary urban roads.
Especially when it is necessary to start braking frequently in congested road conditions, adaptive cruise can reduce fatigue, and the front car can resume driving after pressing "RES" or lightly pressing the accelerator pedal after starting.
Since it comes to the functional display of driver assistance, we have to mention the AR-HUD augmented reality head-up display system. First of all, the system supports four directions of position adjustment to meet the different types of drivers, and then there is the richness of functions, in addition to the conventional driving information, but also supports the navigation, driving assistance system, economic driving advice and other functions of the display; Yun Qing frankly said that since the use of lifting, he rarely looks down at the instrument.
It is worth mentioning that the 2022 model provides an intelligent parking assistance system (IPA/TPA) optional, when the vehicle needs to stop, the system will automatically carry out some operations such as shifting, speed control, braking, parking and so on after identifying the parking space, so as to truly liberate the two-handed parking experience and make the Volkswagen ID.3, which was originally good to drive and park, more intelligent.
Write at the end
It has been nearly half a year since the car was picked up, and Yunqing's love for the Volkswagen ID.3 has increased unabated, he said that he rarely drives the original car now, and the Volkswagen ID.3 is basically his main car. The shape and color matching highlight the youth and fashion, and the temperament of YunQing is very matched; the unique and humanized design reflects the concept of balancing simplicity and practicality, and the familiar good opening and good control are originally retained on the public ID.3, making Yunqing feel that it is worth the money.
