At the beginning, the direct reason for changing this Leo-endorsed SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 was that the route to work in the new company was rather congested, and it took 40 minutes to walk 12 kilometers. I was very uncomfortable because of the sudden change of gearbox. In addition, it cost hundreds of dollars to refuel every month, so changing new energy vehicles could save a lot of fuel costs. So when the price of ID.3 was reduced, the car was decisively picked up, which was considered to support the national new energy cause.
Volkswagen ID.3, which was presented at the end of August last year, is an upgraded version of pure intelligence in 2023. Without any optional equipment, it was presented with a hidden driving recorder. Later, it installed its own original reversing image and leather heated steering wheel, and the presented flannel foot pad was later replaced with TPE+ menes carpet surface. It takes just half a year to pick up the car, and the mileage level is quite satisfactory: 10 thousand kilometers a year.
At present, with the stable monthly sales of tens of thousands, the design must be recognized by the public aesthetically. And personally, the design of Volkswagen ID.3 won my heart, with excessively smooth lines, flat front and rear LOGO, rounded front and sharp rear, giving people a cute and handsome feeling. Because of the budget problem, I didn’t go to the top, otherwise the matrix headlight IQ.Light is still very spiritual, and I think it is very practical to follow the steering function.
The highlight of the interior is the use of piano paint style in many places, from the door armrest, steering wheel button area to the outer frame of the central control screen, which is relatively unified and has a sense of design. Some physical buttons are still reserved for the buttons, and of course, there are many touch buttons, taking into account practicality and technology. Everyone thinks that the fabric seat is more practical at this price, and the heating function of the seat is omitted in warm winter. There is not much storage space, but you can also put some water cups and scattered things.
ID.3 is a 125kW single motor rear drive, which can generate 170P horsepower in generate, which is enough for the car ID.3.. The abundance of power mainly comes from the speed range of 0-80 yards in the urban area, and the motor power is smooth and smooth without delay. This makes me no longer have to endure the frustration of the previous Artz gearbox when commuting in the city after changing cars, and the driving experience has improved a lot. If it is 80 yards up, or on the highway, there is still enough power when it needs to accelerate again. Running at a high speed of 120 yards, the body is still relatively stable, which may be due to the weight of the battery reducing the center of gravity of the car, or it may be due to the solid training of Volkswagen. In short, I personally like the simple suspension performance and calm chassis texture of ID.3
The car itself is still smooth, and there is almost no jam. In addition, entertainment functions can be realized by downloading apps in the application market, such as major music apps, video apps and book listening apps. Apple users can directly connect CarPlay through wireless and wired connection, Huawei users can buy a box to realize wireless HiCar, and other Android users can also realize car-machine interconnection through the box. The mobile APP can view vehicle information such as mileage and electricity, and turn on the air conditioner remotely.
It is commendable that Volkswagen ID.3 comes standard with L2-assisted driving, which can adaptively cruise ACC, even lane-centered LCC. It is very easy to use when there are no traffic lights on my overhead, and occasionally on high speed.
In the past six months, the use of SAIC Volkswagen ID.3 is still very handy, and I have a deeper understanding of the first choice of this 120,000-class pure electric vehicle endorsed by Leo. It is said that the cumulative sales volume of ID.3 has exceeded 120,000+vehicles since its debut, and in 2023, it ranked as the joint venture pure tram sales crown and the A-class hatchback sales crown. In addition to outstanding sales performance, the hard power of ID.3 has also been recognized by the authority, winning the 2023 new energy compact car quality ranking and the joint venture pure electric compact car preservation rate.
Although on the surface, I changed from driving a medium-sized car, Artz, to driving a compact car, Volkswagen ID.3, which seems to be a kind of consumption degradation. However, for those who really understand my driving needs and actual situation, they will understand that this is actually an upgrade of driving experience. Nowadays, people are more willing to drive when they go out, and even in very close places, they drive instead of walking, which can be regarded as realizing the freedom of urban travel, and even some regret not starting earlier.
