In terms of space:
Thanks to the specially designed pure - electric platform and a wheelbase of over 2.9 meters, both the front and rear seats offer very spacious space. A person with a height of 1.7 meters can adjust the space between the back of the front - row seat and themselves from a few fingers' width to a few fists' width when sitting in the driver's seat and then moving to the rear row, and there is plenty of legroom. If the third - row seats are used for children, the second - row seats, though not extremely spacious, are more than sufficient compared to compact cars.
¡î Third - row space: The main problem with the third row is that the foot area on the floor is not flat and has a slope. When an adult sits in the third row, the second - row passengers need to squeeze a bit. It can barely handle short trips of less than an hour. For longer trips, it is more suitable for children under 1.5 meters tall. It's not spacious but sufficient.
[Power]
Although I finally chose the rear - wheel - drive single - motor version, the power is definitely sufficient whether on urban roads or highways. It's similar to Toyota's 2.5L naturally - aspirated or Volkswagen's 2.0T high - power models. Although the acceleration data of the ID6 doesn't show a significant improvement, the acceleration is smoother due to the motor drive, and the acceleration feeling is more than enough. It can easily accelerate to 120 km/h on the highway.
[Handling]
The steering is comfortable, the turning radius is very small, and it can make U - turns easily. The chassis texture exceeds that of vehicles in this price range. To put it exaggeratedly, it feels about 80%+ similar to the X5 with a similar body length, although in extreme situations, its steering stability and body support are not as good as the X5. Overall, in terms of handling, the ID6 is a top - tier model in this price range. This is also the important reason that changed my previous attitude of test - driving many new energy vehicles but never considering buying a Volkswagen. The lane - keeping assist system and L2+ assisted driving work very well in conjunction with the AR - HUD. It can accurately identify and slow down for vehicles and pedestrians intruding into the lane, and can turn by itself when encountering not - very - sharp curves.
¡î Active braking: The active braking generally works fine and even reacts earlier. With the red warning light strip on the front windshield and the sound alert, the driver can be more actively involved in the braking process.
[Power consumption]
I've driven over 4,000 kilometers, mainly for short urban trips, and also on elevated roads and highways. The average power consumption shown on the instrument, 19.7 kWh/100 km, is quite close to the actual situation. Some time ago, when the low temperature was around 0 degrees, I drove nearly 190 kilometers on the highway. I generally kept the vehicle at 120 km/h instead of 110 km/h, with the air - conditioning set at 20 degrees and various heating functions on. The final average power consumption was 22.1. That means it can easily cover 350 kilometers on the highway with the air - conditioning on when the temperature is above 0 degrees, which meets the expectations. The estimated cruising range in summer will exceed 500 kilometers, and we'll see the actual performance then.
[Comfort]
The front seats have strong wrapping, a suitable soft - to - hard ratio, and sufficient length. Although there is no leg rest, the leg support is adequate. The seat heating is very useful in winter. The massage function, though not essential, is better than nothing. The only pity is the lack of seat ventilation. The rear seats have a similar soft - to - hard ratio, and the seat length is not shortened to save space, so it's quite comfortable to sit on, and there is also seat heating in the rear.
[Exterior]
The exterior is beautiful and very much in line with my aesthetic. The matrix - style intelligent headlights with adaptive steering are both good - looking and practical, adding a touch of vitality to the whole vehicle.
[Interior]
The panoramic sunroof comes with a sunshade curtain. The multi - color interior ambient lights, combined with the front and rear light strips, the luggage - compartment light, and the puddle lights, make the vehicle the most eye - catching one at night. There is almost no unpleasant odor inside the car, just the normal smell of the interior, which can hardly be noticed after a few days.
¡î Voice control: Currently, the voice control is just average. The voice - control systems of XPeng and Li Auto feel like a well - decorated house, while Volkswagen ID's currently feels like a simply - decorated one. It can be used, haha. It can turn on/regulate the air - conditioning, inquire about the weather, control music and the radio, etc. Currently, it can't even control the windows. It is hoped that more commands can be added through OTA as soon as possible. But there is a pleasant surprise that although there is no specific virtual image, the front light strip will flash during system dialogues, adding a sense of entertainment and interaction, which is quite interesting.
